System and a method for feeding electric power to a consumer thereof
A system for feeding electric power to a first consumer (1) comprises an input filter (6) with an input configured to be connected to a DC energy source and a DC intermediate link (3) connected to an output (14) of the input filter. A converter (12) is with an input connected to the DC intermediate link and has an output to be connected to said first consumer (1). The unit (16) controls the converter to obtain feeding of electric power requested by the first consumer independently of variations of the voltage on the DC link (3). An assembly is configured to act stabilizing on that voltage by controlling the converter to add a first power component to the power to be fed to the consumer. A second consumer (19) is controlled to consume a second power component to either assist the control of the converter to obtain the stabilization or alone take care thereof.

CONVERTER MODULATION FOR REDUCTION OF COMMON-MODE LEAKAGE CURRENT
An approach for controlling operation of an electrically symmetrical electric power circuit is described herein to reduce common mode leakage currents. The approach can include, for example, a controller circuit configured to control a plurality of switches of the electrically symmetrical electric power circuit, such that one or more electrically symmetrical pairs of switches of the plurality of switches are operated at a same operational state when the power circuit is coupled to an electrical grid to reduce the common mode leakage current. A variant is also described that is adapted for current ripple and overall THD distortion reduction, which can be useful for vehicle to grid power transfer situations.
Ultra-low noise mains DC power supply
A mains DC power supply comprising a buffer amplifier, in which a battery is used to provide a reference voltage for the buffer amplifier. The battery voltage reference is disconnected from the buffer amplifier, to prevent excessive dissipation of the battery, when the mains AC supply is in the switched-off state. The use of a battery voltage reference produces a DC power supply, from the mains AC supply, with an ultra-low level of subsonic and audio frequency noise.
ENERGY SUPPLY NETWORK
An energy supply network has a bus line with a line impedance for energy distribution.
