Abstract
An auxiliary equipment system includes at least one auxiliary load bus configured to receive electric power having a voltage within a first voltage tolerance range. The auxiliary equipment system also includes at least one electric power supply conduit coupled to at least one electric power source. The electric power supply conduit is configured to transmit electric power having a voltage within a second voltage tolerance range. The second voltage tolerance range is greater than the first voltage tolerance range. The auxiliary equipment system further includes at least one controlled series transformer coupled to the auxiliary load bus and to the electric power supply conduit. The controlled series transformer is configured to receive electric power having a voltage within the second voltage tolerance range and transmit electric power having a voltage within the first voltage tolerance range.
