    Abstract: Technologies for detecting a fault location in a DC electrical distribution system include a bus protection unit that monitors a DC electrical bus. The bus protection unit includes at least one sensor to produce sensor data indicative of one or more characteristics of the DC electrical bus monitored by the bus protection unit. The bus protection unit monitors the sensor data, determines whether a fault has occurred based on the sensor data, and determines whether the fault occurred within a bus zone defined by the DC electrical bus in response to determining that the fault has occurred. Further, the bus detection unit trips isolation devices within the bus zone in response to a determination that the fault occurred within the bus zone or a communication from another bus protection unit indicating the fault has occurred within the bus zone. The bus protection unit transmits a bus fault indication signal to another bus protection unit in response to a determination that the fault has occurred.

    Abstract: Technologies for reducing peak fault output current in a DC power generation system include a generator having a reduced damper winding and a controller to control a rectifier array to generate a DC power output. In some embodiments, the generator may have no damper windings, may have damper windings including a reduced number of damper bars, and/or may have damper windings having separated end ring mounts for each damper bar. The controller is configured to control the rectifier array so as to reduce oscillations of the DC output that may be due to the reduced damper windings. To do so, the controller is configured to generate the control signal based on an oscillation component of the DC power output. For example, the controller may generate an oscillation correction signal based on the DC power output and adjust a firing angle set point of the rectifier array based on the oscillation correction signal.

    Abstract: A system includes a first DC rail and a second DC rail, and a rectifier coupled with the first and second DC rails. A multilevel converter is also coupled with the DC rails and operable to limit input current harmonics to the rectifier. Differences between voltage phase and current phase in AC electrical power supplied to the system are compensated via closed loop control of a voltage output of the multilevel converter.
