    摘要: A system for cooling a solar power plant is provided. The system has a foundation, a protective housing built on the foundation, and one or more heat sources inside the protective housing. An air inlet can provide a cooling air flow from outside the protective housing to inside the protective housing, and an air outlet can allow an air flow heated by the at least portion of the heat sources to exit the protective housing. An air duct system within the foundation can direct at least part of an incoming air flow to another part in the protective housing.

    摘要: A method of optimizing one or more starting parameters of a solar power generator system and a solar power generator system, wherein the solar power generator system includes a solar panel array and a converter for converting power obtained from the panel array. The method can include measuring an output voltage of the panel array, comparing the output voltage with a starting voltage (Vdc), starting the solar power generator system when the output voltage of the panel array exceeds the starting voltage (Vdc), measuring the obtained power from the solar panel array after a morning start, comparing the obtained power with a known limit value, and changing the one or more starting parameters on the basis of the comparison of power.

    摘要: A propulsion unit is disclosed with a hollow strut having an upper portion with an upper end portion passing through a passage (P1) formed between a first outer bottom and a second inner bottom in a vessel. The upper end portion is rotatably supported with a slewing bearing and sealed with a slewing seal towards the vessel. A cooling arrangement includes a cooling air duct system, at least one fan and at least one cooling unit. The slewing seal can include an upper slewing seal and a lower slewing seal at a vertical distance (H1) from each other with a space formed between the slewing seals. The upper end portion has openings (O1) into the space between the slewing seals. A first cooling air duct is directed to this space, whereby cooling air (L1) can be circulated through the first cooling air duct (400) into the space and through the openings (O1) in the upper end portion to the interior of the strut, or return air (L2) can be circulated from the strut in an opposite direction.

    摘要: An exemplary method for controlling transfer of electrical power in island mode in an arrangement having a converter and a load connected to the converter through a filter. The method including determining voltage reference components for one or more frequency components of an output voltage of the converter. An effect of a load current is compensated for by forming one or more voltage feedforward terms based on the load current and using the feedforward terms to adjust the voltage reference components. Control reference components for one or more of the frequency components are formed based on the voltage reference components, and a control reference is formed based on the control reference components. The output voltage of the converter is controlled based on the control reference.
