摘要: A method for operating a fuel cell system includes drawing a base level DC electric energy from a first fuel cell of a first type to a combined DC bus, measuring a DC voltage at the combined DC bus, determining whether the DC voltage at the combined DC bus falls short of a DC voltage threshold, and drawing a variable DC electric energy from a second fuel cell of a second type different from the first type in response to determining that the DC voltage at the combined DC bus falls short of the DC voltage threshold.

摘要: A microgrid includes a power system configured to output system power and an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS includes a normal terminal that is electrically connected to a grid power line configured to receive grid power from a power utility, an emergency terminal that is electrically connected to a system power line configured to receive system power from the power system, and a load terminal that is electrically connected to a critical load line configured to provide power to a critical load. The microgrid also includes a bypass line electrically connected to the system power line and the critical load line, so as to bypass the ATS, and a circuit breaker configured to control power flow through the bypass line.

摘要: An auxiliary circuit to inject fault current to a grid is provided. The circuit includes a pair of transformers including a first transformer and a second transformer, and a pair of SCRs including a first SCR and a second SCR. Each SCR remains in an OFF state and an ON state when AC voltage of the grid is in normal range and fault range, respectively. The circuit includes a capacitor electrically connected between the first transformer, the second transformer, and the first SCR. The circuit includes a diode biased by the second transformer and the capacitor to enable charging of the capacitor to a peak of AC voltage during one polarity of AC voltage when the AC voltage is in normal range. The capacitor discharges via the first SCR and the first transformer by injecting the fault current into the grid when the AC voltage is in the fault range.
