Modular and scalable power conversion system for aircraft

--n--n--n--n--n--nA method and apparatuses are used for power conversion. The apparatus according to one embodiment comprises a plurality of power conversion modules, the plurality of power conversion modules being optionally controllable to function independently of each other to supply a plurality of systems, function in an inter-relational mode in which at least one power conversion module from the plurality of power conversion modules drives a system and, upon a failure of the at least one power conversion module, at least another power conversion module from the plurality of power conversion modules will drive the system, and function in a scalable mode in which at least two power conversion modules of the plurality of power conversion modules are connected to provide an additive output.
