Abstract
In this an introduction to DC distributed power systems, Constant Power Loads (CPLs) and its behaviour is presented. Analysis of small-signal stability of generalised and converter based DC systems with CPL is also presented in this chapter. Furthermore, a brief review of major techniques to mitigate CPL induced instabilities is presented, followed by motivation and organization of the book.
