1. An electrical power generation system comprising:
- a power source (102);
power conversion electronics (104) coupled to the power source to rectify phased currents received from the power source and maintain a power conversion voltage used to provide excitation to the power source; and
a power conditioner (108) coupled between the power conversion electronics and a load (106), the power conditioner operating as a filter in a normal operational mode and as a buck converter in an abnormal operational mode.

16. A method of operating a system including a power source, power conversion electronics (104) coupled to the power source (102), and a power conditioner (108) coupled between the power conversion electronics and a load (106), the method comprising:
-
operating in a first operating mode with the power conditioner operating as pi filter; determining that a load fault exist at the load; and switching to a second operating mode with the power conditioner operating as a buck converter in the event that a load fault exists. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
