Abstract
A power supply system includes a multitude of independent electrical systems each comprising one or more power blocks, wherein each power block is configured to provide a respective power output and a converter comprising a multitude of inputs coupled to the multitude independent electrical systems and comprising a multitude of outputs coupled to a multitude of independent loads, the converter configured to aggregate the power output of each of the multitude of independent electrical systems and to output direct current (DC) power to the multitude of independent loads through the multitude of outputs based on the aggregated power output. The power supply system includes a power controller coupled to the converter and configured to allocate power to each of the multitude of independent loads based on input power from each of the multitude of independent electrical systems and power consumption from each of the multitude of independent loads.
