Abstract
A decentralized electrical power allocation system is provided. The system includes a power bus, electric power consumers, and at least two power source assemblies. Each power source assembly includes a power controller and a power source. Each power controller is configured to execute an adaptive droop control scheme so as to cause their respective power sources to output power to meet a power demand on the power bus applied by the power consumers. The power output of a given power source is controlled based at least in part on correlating a power feedback of the given power source with a droop function that represents an efficiency of the given power source to generate electrical power for a given power output. The droop functions are collaboratively defined so that one power source shares more output at lower power levels while another power source shares more output at higher power levels.
