An aircraft electrical system comprises a generator to be driven as part of a gas turbine engine. The generator supplies electrical power to a plurality of accessories associated with the gas turbine engine, and to an aircraft DC bus in parallel to the supply to the accessories. A battery supplies voltage to a control circuit for the generator through a selectively opened and closed switch. A control detects a short circuit on the aircraft DC bus. The battery switch allows power from the battery to flow to provide control voltage for the generator when the control detects a short circuit on the aircraft DC bus.

The present invention is a generator control system where each generator in the system has an associated controller. Each controller communicates generator data or information with the other controllers in the generator control system. Each of the controllers includes a digital signal processor for analyzing the generator signal from the associated generator and information from the other controllers in the generator control system. The controllers each compare their generator signal with a system average and adjust the associated generator until the generators all supply equal amounts of power to the system.

Harmonics in the AC output power of an inverter are sensed and are compared to corresponding references to produce a plurality of errors. These errors are used to produce a harmonic waveform which is in turn used in a triangular waveform PWM pulse generator to generate PWM pulses. The PWM pulses control the inverter so as to convert DC power into AC power and so as to reduce harmonics in the AC power.

The problem of reducing harmonic content of AC bus voltage in a power system (10) is minimized using a controller (30) for a PWM inverter (38). The controller (30) develops a duty cycle command on a line (40) for controlling operation of the PWM inverter (38). The controller (30) develops the duty cycle command to maintain the PWM inverter output voltage at a desired level. This duty cycle command is modulated in accordance with the harmonic content evident on a DC bus (34) which supplies power to the PWM inverter (38).

An electrically compensated constant speed drive which is speed limited so that power flow through the speed compensation link is unidirectional includes a permanent magnet generator which is interconnected with a permanent magnet motor by a power converter. The permanent magnet generator and the permanent magnet motor are controlled by first and second independent control loops. The power converter includes an AC/DC converter coupled to electrical power windings of the permanent magnet generator, a filter coupled to the output of the AC/DC converter and an inverter coupled between the filter and electrical power windings of the permanent magnet motor. The permanent magnet generator, AC/DC converter, filter and the first control loop together develop a voltage on a DC bus. The voltage on the DC bus, which is coupled to the inverter, is sufficient to operate the permanent magnet motor with the required speed and torque, and thus the second control loop need not implement a voltage control scheme, such as a PMW control.
摘要:
A method and system for responding to a fast trip protective element trip in a generator system that re-excites the generator when a fast trip protection element trips and determines whether the generator immediately retrips the fast trip protection element, thereby determining whether a fault is located in the generator or in an attached load. If it is determined that the fault is located in the load, the system re-excites and reconnects the load after disabling the fast trip protection element for a specified period to allow for the load to clear its fault.

An electric power generation system has a synchronous machine, a starter excitation source and an exciter field driver. The starter excitation source is connected to the synchronous machine via multiple phase connections, and the exciter field driver is connected to the synchronous machine via a portion of the same phase connections. At least one of the phase connections is connected to each other phase connection via a transient voltage suppressor.

An aircraft electrical system comprises a generator to be driven as part of a gas turbine engine. The generator supplies electrical power to a plurality of accessories associated with the gas turbine engine, and to an aircraft power bus in parallel to the supply to the accessories. A control detects a short circuit on the aircraft power bus. When a short circuit is detected on the aircraft power bus, a switch is driven open to disconnect the aircraft power bus from the generator. In this manner, the power will continue to be delivered to the plurality of accessories. In a separate feature, a control voltage is provided by an auxiliary permanent magnet generator to a voltage regulator for the main generator.

A method of detecting and monitoring torsional oscillation in a mechanical coupling between a prime mover and a multiphase alternating current (AC) electrical generator, comprises the steps of: detecting in at least one received signal variations that are indicative of changes in the rotational speed of the electrical generator; extracting information from the detected variations that are indicative of torsional oscillation to produce a torsional oscillation signal that has information relating to at least the amplitude of the torsional oscillation; and monitoring the torsional oscillation signal to determine the presence and severity of the torsional oscillation in the mechanical coupling.
