Abstract
A power system architecture includes a prime mover, a plurality of single phase permanent magnet generators mechanically coupled to the prime mover, a DC power bus including a plurality of DC power storage components, each of the DC energy storage components being electrically connected to at least one of the single phase permanent magnet generators, a plurality of state of charge calculators, each of the state of charge calculators being connected to one of the DC energy storage component and being communicatively coupled to a generator control unit, and wherein the generator control unit is configured to independently control each of the single phase permanent magnet generators.
Claims18
A power system architecture comprising:
- a prime mover;
- a plurality of single phase permanent magnet generators mechanically coupled to the prime mover;
- a DC power bus including a plurality of DC power storage components, each of the DC energy storage components being electrically connected to at least one of the single phase permanent magnet generators;
- a plurality of state of charge calculators, each of the state of charge calculators being connected to one of the DC energy storage component and being communicatively coupled to a generator control unit;
- and
- wherein said generator control unit is configured to independently control each of said single phase permanent magnet generators.
A method for re-balancing power storage devices within a high voltage DC power generating system comprising:
- identifying at least one high energy storage device in a plurality of high energy storage device as having a reduced charge relative to a remained of high energy storage devices;
- and
- increasing a control current to a single phase permanent magnet generator corresponding to the identified at least one high energy storage device.
