Abstract: A power conversion topology and control method intended for use with a DC bus is disclosed, providing a means to prevent the flow of ground fault current while detecting a fault condition and optionally continuing to operate the DC bus. In one control configuration, a DC-DC power stage with an active current control loop drives differential current to zero, and a separate voltage control loop maintains the desired differential bus voltage. Absolute bus voltage with respect to ground is monitored in order to detect fault conditions. In another configuration, the absolute voltage of the bus with respect to ground is controlled and differential bus current is monitored to detect ground fault conditions.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling software to interface with a power consumption telemetry system. A process may have tagging instructions that interface with an energy estimation engine. While the energy estimation engine is logging energy consumption by the process, the process may also mark, tag, or otherwise delineate periods of processing during the execution time of the process. The logic of the process may determine how such periods should be labeled and when they being and end. The tagged periods are correlated with energy consumed by the process so that details of what the process was doing during different periods of energy consumption may be understood.
