Patent number: 11303121Abstract: This specification describes a power distribution system comprising a first section that receives power from a first source. The power at the first section is adjusted by a rectifier coupled to a power bus of the first section. The system includes a second section that is separate from the first section and that receives power from a second source. The power at the second section is adjusted by a rectifier coupled to a power bus of the second distribution section. The system includes a swing rectifier connected to each of the first and second sections. The swing rectifier is configured to provide power to the first power bus and to the second power bus and to dynamically adjust the power capacity of the first section that is available to computing loads, and to dynamically adjust the power capacity of the second section that is available to computing loads.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Eduardo Lao, Jyoti Sastry, James Kennedy, Christopher Gregory Malone, Varun Sakalkar
