The present invention discloses a distributed high-frequency AC electrical system for the electric vehicle. The system divides all loads of the electric vehicle into four load areas according to their spatial positions. Four high-frequency inverters and four DC input interfaces are contained in the system, with each of the four load areas being configured with one of the four high-frequency inverters, and each of the four high-frequency inverters being configured with one of the four DC input interfaces. One end of each DC input interface is connected to the DC side of the corresponding high-frequency inverter, and the other end is connected to the storage battery of the electric vehicle. Each high-frequency inverter outputs a high-frequency AC bus to supply power for the loads in the corresponding load area, and the four high-frequency inverters are in a parallel operation state through a high-frequency connection point that connects the four high-frequency AC buses. The present invention has the advantages of simplifying the electrical system structure of the electric vehicle, improving the system stability, and the like.

The present disclosure relates to a shared hybrid transfer switch for transferring power received by a Load from a preferred AC power source to an alternate AC power source, or transferring power being received by the Load from the alternate AC power source to the preferred AC power source. The transfer switch makes use of a solid-state switch configured in communication with first and second pluralities of relay contacts, and also being coupled to the Load, and which receives control signals from a controller. The solid-state switch is controlled such that it is turned on to be in communication with select ones of the first and second pluralities of relay contacts, to provide a path for current flow to the Load from one of the preferred or alternate AC power sources being transitioned to, to carry out a switching transition from one of the preferred or alternate AC power sources to the other.

The power distribution arrangement comprises a power distribution substation comprising transformers, switches, buses, and feeders, a DC transmission line, and at least one control unit. The control unit may control operation of the switches to selectively connect or disconnect one or more feeders to or from at least one transformer via one or more buses and to selectively connect or disconnect the DC transmission line to or from one or more feeders via at least one bus, whereby AC power is distributed to the loads via the feeders. The control unit may control operation of the switches based on: loading in and a power transfer rating of respective feeders and transformers, and any power transfer via the DC transmission line from the other power distribution substation to the at least one bus.

An electrical power supply system, in particular for a microgrid, includes a DC bus, and a first rectifier and a second rectifier, with the first and second rectifiers each supplying power to the DC bus. The first rectifier is a diode rectifier and the second rectifier has switchable power semiconductors.

A technique enables microgrid switchover using zero cross detection. A flexible load management system includes a virtual critical load panel (vCLP) that utilizes circuit breakers in combination with companion modules configured to sense power provided to one or more loads to identify zero-crossings. When a preconfigured number of consecutive, missed zero-crossings is detected, the companion module is alerted as to potential main power loss and transitions to a virtual critical load (vCL) mode for load adjustment prior to operation under local power. Upon detection of main power loss, the companion module is configured for load activation (or deactivation) via states of one or more vCL bits that configure each load for either ON or OFF state when operating under local power.
