Abstract
A vehicle supplies stable and efficient power to a load of a vehicle during a failure or performance degradation of the vehicle by forming an isolated electrical network. The vehicle includes a power supply unit, an electrical network including at least one load configured to receive power from the power supply unit, and a sensor unit that acquires at least one of current flowing in a plurality of the electrical networks and a voltage supplied to the at least one load. A power distribution module determines an insolation required portion based on the current flowing in the electrical network and the voltage supplied to the at least one load, and connects or disconnects at least one point of the electrical network based on the isolation required portion to form an isolated electrical network.
