    Abstract: A method for operating a power generation system that supplies power for application to a load is disclosed. The method may generally include receiving, at a power converter, an alternating current power generated by a generator operating at a speed that is substantially equal to its synchronous speed and converting, with the power converter, the alternating current power to an output power, wherein the power converter includes at least one switching element. In addition, the method may include receiving a control command to control a switching frequency of the at least one switching element and adjusting the switching frequency to an adjusted switching frequency that is substantially equal to a fundamental frequency of the load.

    Abstract: A three-level power conversion apparatus can suppress fluctuation in a neutral point voltage even when operated as a reactive power regulator. The three-level power conversion apparatus is composed of first and second three-level converters connected to an AC power supply, positive side and negative side DC capacitors, a three-level inverter to drive an AC motor, and converter control unit for controlling the three-level converters. The converter control unit has first and second reactive current controllers for controlling so that reactive portions of input currents of each three-level converter become a prescribed reactive current reference, first and second neutral point voltage fluctuation suppressing units for controlling a PWM controller, to make a voltage difference of two DC capacitors zero, and an active current controller for supplying a prescribed circulating active current from one three-level converter to other three-level converter.

    Abstract: For open loop phase pre-charge, an apparatus includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) charging diode and a charge generator. The SMPS charging diode pre-charges an SMPS to a regulation set point from at least one phase of an Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The charge generator is powered by the pre-charged SMPS. In response to detecting the regulation set point iteratively, the charge generator detects a specified phase angle of the AC voltage. In response to the specified phase angle, the charge generator iteratively generates a charging voltage during positive voltage interval that charges a Direct Current (DC) bus capacitor to a target DC bus voltage within a charging time interval. At least a portion of the charge generator comprises one or more of hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.
