    Abstract: A system can include a bi-directional converter circuit comprising a plurality of switches and at least one flying capacitor. One or more the plurality of switches can experience overvoltage in a fault state. The system can include a control module operatively connected to the plurality of switches to control a state of the plurality of switches. The control module can be configured to receive a sense signal indicative of flying capacitor voltage and to control the one or more switches of the plurality of switches to turn on or remain on to prevent switch overvoltage of the one or more switches if the flying capacitor voltage is outside of a normal range.

    Abstract: A multilevel rectifier includes an input lead, a switching module, and a multilevel direct current (DC) link. The switching module includes a plurality of switch devices connected to the input lead. The multilevel DC link includes a positive lead, a midpoint lead, and a negative lead. each connected to the switching module. The plurality of switching module switch devices are operatively connected between the input lead and the DC link to provide a greater number of output voltage levels than the number of leads in the DC link with unidirectional power flow capability.

    Abstract: An electrical power distribution system includes a first high side sub-module including a high side converter and a high side energy storage device. The first high side sub-module is electrically coupled to a high side load that requires a high voltage or medium voltage DC, the high voltage DC being higher than the medium voltage DC. The system also includes a first low side sub-module including a low side converter and a low side energy storage device. The first high side sub-module and the first low side sub-module are configured to be inductively coupled. The first high side sub-module and the first low side sub-module form a first module.
