An electrical bus leveling unit (100) is provided. The unit includes a first power supply configured to generate electrical energy having a first set of electrical parameters and a power converter (110) electrically coupled to the power supply, the power converter configured to convert the electrical energy having the first set of electrical parameters into an electrical energy having a second set of electrical parameters. The power converter is further configured to be coupled to an electrical bus (130) couplable to a second power supply, the second power supply configured to operate with the second set of electrical parameters and the electrical bus being subject to experiencing relatively short term power transients due to the operation of equipment coupled to the electrical bus. The unit further includes a controller (104), that includes a processor (131), communicatively coupled to the power supply and the power converter, the controller configured to receive information relating to the operation of the electrical bus from a plurality of sensors and control an output of at least one of the power supply and the power converter to transfer electrical energy to the electrical bus when the second set of electrical parameters on the electrical bus is outside a predetermined range.
