Abstract:
A system for controlling an electric motor is disclosed herein. In particular, the system receives a user input indicative of a desired performance parameter for the electric motor. Based on the desired performance parameter, the system determines a control parameter that defines an operational range. The system then adjusts the electric motor according to the control parameter so that the electric motor generates constant output power over the operational range.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor adjacent the compressor, a turbine adjacent the combustor, a shaft, a motor, a variable frequency drive, a stored energy source and a ride thru unit. The motor is coupled to the shaft. The variable frequency drive is electrically connected to the motor and to an AC power source. The ride thru unit electrically connects to the variable frequency drive, the AC power source and the stored energy source. The ride thru unit includes at least one DC to DC voltage converter.
