A power distribution system. The power distribution system may comprise a plurality of renewable energy sources and plurality of converters to increase fault tolerance in the event of a component failure and to minimize output power degradation. Each converter may be comprised of a plurality of input ports, wherein each input port receives controlled amount of energy from the plurality of renewable energy sources. Each input port may also be disconnected in the event of component or device failure. Each of the converters is preferably configured to have additional power capacity to offset any reduced output capacity by a faulty converter, and preferably, the performance of each converter is monitored by the system to maintain its performance. The power distribution system may be monitored by a third party to maintain the energy output levels and to facilitate the power distribution system's restoration to normal functioning. |
