Power System Having a Stabilized DC Link Voltage to Handle Transient Events

A power system, comprising:

• means for producing a drive force;
• means for generating electrical power in response to receiving the drive force from the means for producing a drive force;
• means for connecting to receive the electrical power from the means for generating and the means for connecting further directing the electrical power to an external load;
• means for storing arranged in series with the means for connecting between the means for generating and the external load, the means for storing stores electrical power to charge the means for storing or to discharge power from the means for storing;
• and
• a means for controlling to control the means for storing and configured to determine a supply of electrical power and a demand for electrical power by the external load, the means for controlling being further configured to control the means for storing to store at least a portion of the electrical power from the means for generating to charge the means for storing or to discharge power from the means for storing to supplement the electrical power from the means for generating directed to the external load.

A process of operating a power system, comprising:

• producing a drive force;
• generating electrical power in response to receiving the drive force;
• directing the electrical power to an external load;
• determining a supply of electrical power and a demand for electrical power by the external load;
• storing electrical power in a power storage device when the supply of electrical power is greater than the demand for electrical power by the external load;
• and
• discharging electrical power from the power storage device together with the directing the electrical power when the demand for electrical power is greater than the supply of electrical power by the external load.
