System and method for actively limiting the power consumption of a power distribution bus by one or more electrical loads to a previously determined maximum energy level

摘要

"SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE LIMITATION ON ELECTRIC POWER CONSUMPTION OF AN POWER DISTRIBUTION BUS BY ONE OR MORE ELECTRICAL CHARGES TO A PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED MAXIMUM ENERGY LEVEL". It is a control system (10) that actively limits the energy consumed from a main power distribution bus (20) by one or more electrical charges (30). System (10) includes circuits (14) for determining a maximum permissible current magnitude that can be supplied to loads (30) based on a signal representative of the voltage magnitude supplied to loads (30). Additional circuits (18, 34) limit the power consumption from the main power distribution bus (20) to the maximum allowable current magnitude so as not to exceed a predetermined maximum power level. As a result, the required design capacity of the power generation components and the power distribution system can benefit from size, weight and cost reductions.
