1. A regenerative load bank (RLB) for a generator under test that produces a polyphase alternating current (AC) power output that is driven by a prime mover powered by a polyphase (AC) utility grid, comprising:

  • a first power converter for converting the AC power output of the generator to direct current (DC) power;

    a second power converter for converting DC power to AC power for coupling to the utility grid; and

    a DC link for coupling the DC power output of the first power converter to the second power converter so that power generated by the generator is transferred to the utility grid.
