Abstract: A power generation system (100, 200, 300, 400) is presented. The power generation system includes a prime mover (102), a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) (104) having a rotor winding (126) and a stator winding (122), a rotor-side converter (106), a line-side converter (108), and a secondary power source (110, 401) electrically coupled to a DC-link (128). Additionally, the power generation system includes a control sub-system (112, 212, 312) having a controller, and a plurality of switching elements (130, and 132 or 201). The controller is configured to selectively control switching of one or more switching elements (130, and 132 or 201) based on a value of an operating parameter corresponding to at least one of the prime mover, the DFIG, or the secondary power source to connect the rotor-side converter in parallel to the line-side converter to increase an electrical power production by the power generation system.

Abstract: A system including a converter is disclosed. The converter includes a first switch having one or more first controllable switches coupled in parallel across at least one diode. A first controlling unit is operatively coupled to the converter. The first controlling unit is configured to determine a temperature of the one or more first controllable switches. The first controlling unit is further configured to compare the determined temperature of the one or more first controllable switches with a transition temperature at which a first power loss of the one or more first controllable switches is equal to a second power loss of the at least one diode and control a switching state of the one or more first controllable switches based on the comparison of the determined temperature with the transition temperature.

Abstract: A power generation system is disclosed. The power generation system includes a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) coupled to a variable speed engine and a photo-voltaic (PV) power source. The DFIG includes a generator to generate a first electrical power based at least partially on an operating speed of the variable speed engine. The PV power source may supply a second electrical power to a Direct Current (DC) link between a rotor side converter and a line side converter of the DFIG. The generator and the line side converter are coupled to an electric grid and/or a local electrical load to supply the first electrical power and at least a portion of the second electrical power to the local electrical load.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) includes a line terminal, a load terminal, a double-conversion circuit coupled in series, and further includes a bypass circuit, and a synchronize circuit. The line terminal couples to a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The load terminal couples to a load having a demanded power. The double-conversion circuit regulates grid power from the line terminal to the demanded power at the load terminal. The bypass circuit is coupled between the line terminal and the load terminal, and configured to deliver regulated power generated by the DFIG to the load terminal when the grid power is lost. The synchronize circuit is coupled between the double-conversion circuit and the DFIG, and, when the grid power is lost, the synchronize circuit injects a current through the double-conversion circuit and into the DFIG, synchronizing the regulated power generated by the DFIG to the demanded power.

Abstract: A hybrid AC and DC distribution system includes a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), a DC distribution bus, an AC/DC converter, an AC distribution bus, and a DC/AC converter. The DFIG includes a rotor and a stator, and is configured to generate a first AC power at the rotor and a second AC power at the stator. The AC/DC converter is coupled to the rotor and the DC distribution bus. The AC/DC converter converts the first AC power to a first DC power at a first node for delivery to a first load through the DC distribution bus. The DC/AC converter is coupled between the first node and a second node coupled to the stator and the AC distribution bus. The DC/AC converter converts the first DC power to the second AC power at the second node for delivery to a second load through the AC distribution bus.

Abstract: A hybrid power plant including a plurality of power sources and controllers, a hybrid plant controller, and a computing system. The controllers operate the power sources according to operating set points. The hybrid plant controller transmits the operating set points to the controllers. The computing system is coupled to the hybrid plant controller and receives a first set of input parameters from a first subscriber, and carries out a first level of services to which the first subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the first subscriber. The computing system receives a second set of input parameters from a second subscriber and carries out a second level of services to which the second subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the second subscriber.
