B-side feed for critical power applications

摘要

A method of providing power to a load, such as an IT load, includes generating an output power using at least one power module comprising at least one fuel cell segment, providing a first portion of the output power through a grid to an A-side power feed of the load, and providing a second portion of the output power to a B-side power feed of the load.

主权项

1. A power generation system, comprising:
at least one power module comprising at least one fuel cell segment configured to generate an output power; at least one first output module comprising at least one power conditioning component electrically coupled between the at least one power module and a grid; a first bus electrically connecting the grid to an A-side power feed of a load, such that the at least one power module is configured to supply power to the A-side power feed of the load through the at least one first output module; and at least one second output module comprising at least one power conditioning component electrically coupled between the at least one power module and a B-side power feed of the load; wherein the load comprises a dual corded power supply having two sets of power electronics that may draw power from at least one of the A-side feed and the B-side feed in an auctioneering fashion.
