Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for an inverter for communicating power from a cluster of fluid turbines to an electrical grid. An inverter for communicating power from a cluster of turbines to a grid includes circuitry configured to receive via a rectifier associated with each turbine in the cluster, a DC voltage such that a plurality of DC voltages from differing turbines are received and aggregated; at least one processor configured to: confirm that a connection to the grid conforms with at least one operating parameter; when conformity of the grid connection with the operating parameter is confirmed, enable inversion of the aggregated DC voltage to an AC voltage compatible with the grid and enable output of the AC voltage to the grid; and when conformity of the grid connection with the operating parameter is not confirmed, prevent output of the AC voltage to the grid.

Abstract: This disclosure describes many innovations including but not limited to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media containing instructions for controlling an energy generator. A system for controlling an energy generator includes a detector for sensing an indicator of electrical energy generated by the generator; an energy storage component configured, in a first mode of operation, to store energy generated during operation at a sub-threshold level insufficient for real-time supply to an electrical energy sink; an energy converter configured, in a second mode of operation, to provide energy generated during operation above the threshold level for real-time supply of energy to the electrical energy sink; and a controllable switch, electrically associated with the detector, and configured to alternately toggle between the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation based on the indicator to thereby permit energy generated at the sub-threshold level to be collected and intermittently used.
