| | U.S. Patent: 6093975 - Turbogenerator/motor control with synchronous condenser - July 25, 2000 |
 | | In order to start the turbogenerator, electric current is supplied to the stator coils of the permanent magnet generator/motor to operate the permanent magnet generator/motor as a motor and thus to accelerate the gas turbine of the turbogenerator. |
 | | Alternately, a turbogenerator control system can utilize a high frequency inverter synchronously connected to the permanent magnet motor/generator of a turbogenerator, a low frequency load inverter, a direct current bus electrically connecting the two (2) inverters, and a central processing unit which controls the frequency and voltage/current of each of the inverters. |
 | | Regardless of the number of turbogenerator sets, shown for purposes of illustration only as three (although it could be even one or a higher number), a single synchronous condenser 260, line commutated inverter 264 and battery 266 connected to the system bus 254 is all that is required. |
