Abstract
Included herein is a DC power plant, a DC power system, a method charging a remote battery system and a battery charging controller. In one embodiment, the DC power plant includes: (1) a rectifier system including an AC power input and a DC power output, the rectifier system configured to receive an AC input voltage at the AC power input and produce a DC output voltage at the DC power output and (2) a controller configured to determine a permitted charging current for a remote battery system coupled to the rectifier system and dynamically adjust the DC output voltage to provide the permitted charging current for the remote battery system.
