A MULTI-FUNCTION POWER REGULATOR FOR PRIORITIZING FUNCTIONS AND ALLOCATING RESOURCES THEREOF

摘要

A multi-function power regulator for prioritizing functions and allocating resources thereof, the multi-function regulator including a plurality of resources each having a resource capacity limit. The multi-function regulator also includes a shunt converter is configured to perform one or more shunt converter functions while consuming one or more of the resources, a series converter is configured to perform one or more series converter functions while consuming one or more of the resources. A control engine coupled to the shunt converter, the series converter, and a plurality of sensors, the control engine is configured to monitor and control the one or more shunt converter functions and the one or more series converter functions. The multifunction regulator also includes a priority control engine coupled to the control engine, the priority control engine is configured to set a priority order for performing the one or more shunt converter functions and/or the one or more series converter functions.
