1. A system comprising:
a direct current to direct current (DC-to-DC) converter comprising a direct current (DC) input terminal and a DC output terminal, wherein the DC-to-DC converter is configured to:
receive, via the DC input terminal of the DC-to-DC converter, a DC input voltage from a DC power source;
provide, via the DC output terminal of the DC-to-DC converter, a DC output voltage to a plurality of groups of electrical loads; and
regulate the DC output voltage to be substantially half of the DC input voltage by supplementing or absorbing a current difference between two or more groups of the plurality of groups of electrical loads; and a direct current to alternating current (DC-to-AC) converter comprising a DC input terminal and one or more alternating current (AC) output terminals, wherein the DC-to-AC converter is configured to:
receive, via the DC input terminal of the DC-to-AC converter, the DC input voltage from the DC power source or the DC output voltage from the DC-to-DC converter; and
provide, via each of the one or more AC output terminals of the DC-to-AC converter, a respective AC output voltage to at least one group of the plurality of groups of electrical loads.
