Abstract
A hybrid alternating current (AC)/direct current (DC) distribution system for multiple-floor buildings includes per-floor rectifiers for converting supply side AC to DC. Each rectifier is configured to supply a plurality of DC loads associated with one floor of a multiple-floor building. The system further includes per-floor DC busses, each of the DC busses being configured to distribute the DC to the DC loads its respective floor. The system further includes at least one AC bus for supplying AC power to AC loads in the building.
