POWER GENERATION SYSTEM, POWER CONVERTER SYSTEM, AND METHODS OF OPERATING A POWER CONVERTER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A power converter system comprising:
- a converter configured to be coupled to a power generation unit for receiving power from the power generation unit;
a bus coupled to the converter, wherein a voltage is generated across the bus when electricity is conducted through the power converter system;
an inverter coupled to the bus and configured to supply power to an electrical distribution network; and
,a control system coupled to at least one of the converter and the inverter, the control system configured to adjust an operation of the at least one of the converter and the inverter to reduce the voltage across the bus during at least one of a low voltage event and a high voltage event.

Abstract
A power converter system includes a converter configured to be coupled to a power generation unit for receiving power from the power generation unit, and a bus coupled to the converter, wherein a voltage is generated across the bus when electricity is conducted through the power converter system. The power converter system also includes an inverter coupled to the bus, wherein the inverter is configured to supply power to an electrical distribution network. A control system is coupled to at least one of the converter and the inverter, wherein the control system is configured to adjust an operation of the at least one of the converter and the inverter to reduce the voltage across the bus during at least one of a low voltage event and a high voltage event.
