    摘要: A microsource is provided, which includes an inverter, an energy storage device, and a controller. The controller calculates a maximum frequency change for the inverter based on a first comparison between a first power set point and a measured power from the inverter. The first power set point is defined based on a charge level of the energy storage device. A minimum frequency change for the inverter is calculated based on a second comparison between a second power set point and the measured power from the inverter. An operating frequency for the inverter is calculated based on a third comparison between a power set point and a measured power flow. A requested frequency for the inverter is calculated by combining the maximum frequency change, the minimum frequency change, and the operating frequency. The requested frequency is integrated to determine a phase angle of a voltage of the inverter to control a frequency of an output power of the inverter.

    摘要: A voltage source type power converting apparatus having voltage source type power converter units and phase-shifting transformers. The transformers have either a common multiple-phase primary winding or a group of parallel connected multiple-phase primary windings, either of which being connected in parallel or series to a multiple-phase AC system. The transformer further include a group of multiple-phase secondary windings with phase differences with respect to each other and which are connected to voltage source type power converter units. The voltage source type power converter units are operated with the phase differences. Accordingly, the construction of the multiplexing phase-shifting transformer is simple, and fundamental electric variables can be controlled by a simple phase controlling operation. In addition, a higher harmonic defect of the AC system can be reduced, and the DC voltage can be easily raised.

    摘要: This invention relates to electrical aircraft engine start and generating system for use in an aircraft having an engine driven torque converter coupled to an alternator which provides AC power for conversion to DC and AC power. The system includes a reversible AC to DC converter controllably electrically coupled to the alternator and a controller unit to provide DC power in a generating mode. The reversible AC to DC converter is capable of receiving externally supplied DC power to be converted to AC power to drive the alternator as a motor in a start mode. A DC to AC converter is controllably electrically coupled to the controller unit and the DC power output during the generating mode. The reversible DC to AC converter in the start mode is mutually controllably electrically coupled to the externally supplied DC power. The controller unit and the alternator cooperate to provide a controlled AC power output to be delivered to the alternator to bring the alternator operating as a motor up to operating speed, whereupon the reversible DC to AC converter responds to the external DC power and is electrically coupled to the alternator to drive the alternator as a motor to deliver rotary power through the torque converter to start the aircraft engine.
