    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for shaping grid currents output from parallel inverters in a power distribution system with virtual impedances. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a measurement of the current output from the inverter, processing the measurement of the current to extract a first current component having a particular frequency, obtaining a second current component based on the measurement of the current and the extracted first current component, weighing the first and second current components with respective first and second impedances to obtain respective first and second component voltages, the first impedance having a lower impedance amplitude than the second impedance, obtaining a shaped voltage based on the first and second component voltages, and outputting a control signal to the inverter, the control signal causing the inverter to output the shaped voltage to the power distribution bus.

    Abstract: A method for converting alternating current (AC) power to direct current (DC) power in a non-isolated power converter includes receiving a three-phase power supply, transforming the three phase power supply into six voltage phases, half-wave rectifying the AC current, applying a power factor correction to achieve DC power, and outputting a DC power signal. The three-phase power supply has an AC current. The six voltage phase is transformed at a secondary side of a three-phase distribution transformer, which includes a center tap located at the secondary side of the three-phase distribution transformer and one or more AC wire conductors. The AC wire conductors carry the transformed power supply. The half-wave rectification occurs at the secondary side of the three-phase distribution transformer. An arrangement of rectifier diodes on the AC wire conductors accomplishes the half-wave rectification. The output DC power signal has an output voltage at a DC output.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cooling electronic equipment in a data center. Ambient air is vertically circulated from a workspace across a plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices. The electronic devices are located in a plurality of trays such that each tray has a major plane that is substantially parallel to a side plane of the rack. The circulated air is cooled with a heat exchanger that is connected to a vertical end of the rack via a sealed interface. Multiple racks can be arrayed in a distributed cooling arrangement, which increases reliability and scalability of the data center.
