Abstract: Systems and methods for managing power loads of one or more data centers using a wide-area energy controller to operate local energy resources of the data center based on power control information generated by a remote data center control system are described. In one aspect, a system includes a set of local energy sources configured to provide power to the loads of the energy system and a wide-area energy controller. The wide-area energy controller includes a first interface communicably coupled to an application programming interface (API) that connects a remote data center control system to respective wide-area energy controllers of multiple data centers, the first interface being configured to receive power control information from the remote data center control system via the API. The wide-area energy controller includes a control unit configured to schedule the local energy sources to provide power to the loads based on the power control information.

Abstract: The present disclosure contemplates a method for synchronizing a large number of generators on an AC bus by synchronizing each generator's output to a nominal output that is generated from a common external source. For example, each generator, using a high speed communication signal, can synchronize to a nominal output provided by a master generator, or centralized command module. In another example, each generator can generate its own nominal output referenced to a common external time signal, such as a global positioning system (GPS) signal, or other reference. By synchronizing independently of bus voltage and frequency, the generators are able to synchronize in parallel, instead of serially.

Abstract: A system and method for power pooling, the system including a shared power line, a plurality of backup power supplies connected to the shared power line through respective transformers and one or more controllers configured to, for each respective backup power supply, after passage of a different respective predetermined amount of time, determine whether a transformer connected to the backup power supply is energized. In response to the transformer being energized, the controllers synchronize the backup power supply with the transformer and then set a switch positioned between the backup power supply and the transformer to a fully closed state. In response to the transformer not being energized, the controllers transition the switch from a fully open state to the fully closed state according to an inrush current limiting scheme.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for operating a backup power source or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that can be used in data centers and that provide a backup power source to power the data center when utility power is compromised. A power delivery system that provides power to a primary system may include a UPS with a state timing control system that operates a bypass static switch. The state timing control system can determine when to transition the primary system from the utility power supply to the backup UPS, based on the current AC voltage conditions. The state timing control system may perform modeling to emulate the intermediate DC voltage of an actual rectifier, and particularly emulate the holdup capacitor voltage. The emulated capacitor voltage can be obtained in real time by both an input power model based on RMS utility voltage and the actual rectifier output load.

Abstract: The present disclosure contemplates a method for synchronizing a large number of generators on an AC bus simultaneously by closing the generator breakers when the generators are rotating but de-energized. Then excitation is raised for each generator simultaneously, causing the generators to synchronize as voltage increases, without large transient current surges that can damage the machines. In order to safely maximize the rate at which excitation is raised, initial excitation can be controlled using current regulation, specifically controlling excitation current instead of voltage. Once a predetermined voltage is reached, a control scheme can be switched to a voltage regulation mode, which brings the generator to the final desired voltage.
