Abstract
A power distribution system and method, including a direct-current current source which is commutated among a number of distribution circuits which function as independent and modular power sources. Each distribution circuit includes a capacitor which is connected to the direct-current current source through a switch. The load is connected in parallel with the capacitor. The capacitor is charged to a predetermined level, generally matching the required load voltage, and periodically checked and recharged as necessary. There may be a plurality of distribution circuits to provide power to separate circuits or specific portions of a larger circuit. By varying the switch timing and logic, the output voltage of each distribution circuit may be varied, allowing a centralized power supply to provide power to a variety of electrical components with varying voltage requirements.
