The present invention provides for a supply interface unit for use in a DC
power pooling system, the DC power pooling system comprising a plurality
of DC electrical power consuming and providing entities, each of the DC
electrical power consuming and providing entities having at least a first
operative mode in which it may provide more electrical power than it
consumes and a second operative mode in which it may consume more
electrical power than it provides, and at least one pooling controller,
the supply interface unit comprising: a first port and a second port; a
controller; at least one controllable switch, operable by said controller
to enable current flow from one of said first port to said second port
and said second port to said first port; and at least one current
limiter, operable by said controller to limit said current flow.
