    摘要: The disclosed technology is a cryogenic static exciter. The cryogenic static exciter is connected to a synchronous electric machine that has a field winding. The synchronous electric machine is cooled via a refrigerator or cryogen like liquid nitrogen. The static exciter is in communication with the field winding and is operating at ambient temperature. The static exciter receives cooling from a refrigerator or cryogen source, which may also service the synchronous machine, to selected areas of the static exciter and the cooling selectively reduces the operating temperature of the selected areas of the static exciter.

    摘要: A method and system for determining zero current level occurrences in a reversible power converter without requiring additional component complexity and costs. A digital controller selectively determines the line to line voltage for the most recently fired thyristor pair. The selected line to line voltage is identified as the bridge reconstruction voltage and is compared against the actual bridge output voltage for the conducting bridge. The difference between the two voltage signals is identified as the bridge error voltage and the sign of its magnitude is indicative of a load current zero level occurrence. A zero current level occurrence happens whenever the bridge error voltage drops below zero. This indication is positive and substantially instantaneous and safely enables the reversal of power flow without the risk of line faults due to cross-bridge short circuits.

    摘要: A power electrical system is disclosed to connect a microturbine and an electrical machine to electrical power sources and a load. The invention permits the microturbine to be started using an external DC power source and/or an external AC power source. DC power is converted to AC power by means of a buck-boost chopper, DC bus and a DC-to-AC converter. AC power, from the AC power source, is converted to frequencies and voltages suitable to start a microturbine by a pair of DC-to-AC converters and the DC bus. The frequency and voltage levels of the AC power are gradually increased to accelerate the microturbine to startup speed. Once the microturbine is started, the external power sources are disconnected, and the DC bus and the DC-to-AC converters produce output AC power at a voltage level and frequency to match an electrical load.
