Abstract

A system and method for cycling loads and sources can be connected to one or more loads and sources to controllably supply or absorb current with respect thereto. For example, DC voltages can be controllably supplied to each load from a DC bus using a plurality of DC-DC converters. Various DC converter configurations are available including independent, parallel and differential, to expand the types of simulations which can be performed on the load(s).
