Patent Images
1. An electric power generating system comprising:
- a plurality of variable power sources including at least one source of DC power and at least one source of AC power;
upstream converters for converting power supplied by said plurality of power sources to a common source of power to be communicated to a collector bus;
a power grid for supplying three-phase power to components requiring three-phase power, and downstream on said collector bus; and
downstream converters for providing said three phases of power to said power grid from said collector bus.

Abstract
An electric power generating system includes a plurality of variable power sources including at least one source of DC power and at least one source of AC power. Converters convert power supplied by the plurality of power sources to a common source of power to be communicated to a collector bus. A power grid supplies three-phase power to components requiring three-phase power downstream of the collector bus. Converters provide three phases of power to the power bus from the collector bus.
