    摘要: The invention features a system and approach for minimizing the step voltage change as seen by the utility customer as well minimizing transients imposed on the fundamental waveform of a normal voltage carried on a utility power network when a reactive power source (e.g., capacitor bank) is instantaneously connected to the utility power. The reactive power source is adapted to transfer reactive power of a first polarity (e.g., capacitive reactive power) to the utility power network. The system includes a reactive power compensation device configured to transfer a variable quantity of reactive power of a second, opposite polarity to the utility power network, and a controller which, in response to the need to connect the shunt reactive power source to the utility power network, activates the reactive power compensation device and, substantially simultaneously, causes the shunt reactive power source to be connected to the utility power.

    摘要: A battery in a back-up power system is charged during the time that power is available from the main AC power system by utilizing the main power transformer and the main inverter. When power is available from the main AC power source, an AC voltage appears across the primary of the transformer, which is connected to the inverter. Switches in the bridge inverter are turned on for a relatively brief period of time to short the primary of the transformer causing current through the leakage inductances of the transformer to rapidly build up. When the switching devices are turned off, the inductances induce a current to continue to flow from the primary into the inverter through anti-parallel diodes, normally back biased by the voltage from the battery, into the battery thereby charging the battery with the energy stored in the transformer inductances. The inverter current reaches zero when the energy stored in the inductance is fully discharged. The cycle may be repeated by turning on the switching devices in the inverter bridge at periodic points in time, allowing the current in the inverter to dwell periodically at zero, or by immediately turning on the switching devices again when the current into the inverter reaches zero.

    摘要: A method of controlling fault currents within a utility power grid is provided. The method may include coupling a superconducting electrical path between a first and a second node within the utility power grid and coupling a non-superconducting electrical path between the first and second nodes within the utility power grid. The superconducting electrical path and the non-superconducting electrical path may be electrically connected in parallel. The superconducting electrical path may have a lower series impedance, when operated below a critical current level, than the non-superconducting electrical path. The superconducting electrical path may have a higher series impedance, when operated at or above the critical current level, than the non-superconductor electrical path.

    摘要: A power electronic assembly includes a pair of thermally and electrically conductive plates, and semiconductor switching elements positioned between contact surfaces of the pair of conductive plates. A first of the semiconductor switching elements is positioned at a first region of the conductive plates, and a second of the semiconductor switching elements positioned at a second region of the conductive plates. At least one of the conductive plates includes an aperture positioned between the first region and the second region of the conductive plates, such that in a compressed state, a contact surface of the conductive plate associated with the first region is substantially parallel to and offset from that of the second region in a direction parallel to the direction of compression.

    摘要: Power compensation is provided from a power compensation device to a utility power network carrying a nominal voltage. The power compensation device has a steady-state power delivery characteristic. The power compensation is providing by detecting a change of a predetermined magnitude in the nominal voltage on the utility power network and controlling the power compensation device to deliver, for a first period of time and in response to the detected change in the nominal voltage, reactive power to the utility power network. The power compensation device is controlled to deliver, for a second period of time following the first period of time, reactive power to the utility power network at a level that is a factor N(N>1) greater than the steady-state power delivery characteristic of the power compensation device.

    摘要: A superconducting transformer system is configured to be included within a utility power grid having a known fault current level. The superconducting transformer system includes a non-superconducting transformer interconnected between a first node and a second node of the utility power grid. A superconducting transformer is interconnected between the first node and the second node of the utility power grid. The superconducting transformer and the non-superconducting transformer are electrically connected in parallel. The superconducting transformer has a lower series impedance than the non-superconducting transformer when the superconducting transformer is operated below a critical current level and a critical temperature. The superconducting transformer is configured to have a series impedance that is at least N times the series impedance of the non-superconducting transformer when the superconducting transformer is operated at or above one or more of the critical current level and the critical temperature. N is greater than 1 and is selected to attenuate, in conjunction with an impedance of the non-superconducting transformer, the known fault current level by at least 10%.
