Abstract
This specification describes a power distribution system comprising a first section that receives power from a first source. The power received from the first source is adjusted by a first rectifier unit coupled to a first power bus of the first section. The system also comprises a second section that is separate from the first section and that receives power from a second source. The power received from the second source is adjusted by a second rectifier unit coupled to a second power bus of the second distribution section. The system includes a swing rectifier connected to the first section and connected to the second section. The swing rectifier is configured to provide power to the first power bus and to the second power bus and to dynamically adjust the power capacity of the first section that is available to computing loads, and to dynamically adjust the power capacity of the second section that is available to computing loads.
