    摘要: A power conversion device includes a major circuit part converting a power of a distributed power source into AC power corresponding to a power system, and a controller controlling an operation of the major circuit part; the controller includes an estimated value calculation part and a reactive power calculation part; the estimated value calculation part calculates an estimated value of a resistance component of a system impedance of the power system, an estimated value of a reactance component of the system impedance, and an estimated value of a voltage value of the infinite bus power system based on an active power value of a connection point to the power system, a reactive power value of the connection point, and a voltage value of the connection point.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for managing electrical power among various energy generation, storage, and consumption systems, including micro-grids or nano-grids. Computing systems and electrical hardware send and receive electrical power, to or from various energy storage, transfer, and consumption sites, particularly where certain nano-grids are not electrically wired to the energy generation and storage subsystems. A grid adapter receives energy from various sources, reduces noise in the electrical waveform (e.g., harmonics), and determines an amount of power to deliver to nano-grids via electrical connections or delivery vehicles to achieve acceptable operation according to grid codes or other operational configurations. A storage system may include a flow battery that exchanges electricity, based on required power or surplus power, with delivery vehicles according to an electrolyte swap for the flow battery.

    摘要: A rapid shutdown system and a method for controlling the rapid shutdown system are provided. A disturbance is applied to a direct-current side of an inverter in the rapid shutdown system only when the inverter does not meet a starting condition, i.e., before the inverter starts. Once meeting the starting condition, the inverter normally operates. A shutdown device in the rapid shutdown system determines its state by determining whether the electrical signal at its output end meets the preset condition, and switches itself on or off in response to its determination.

    摘要: The present application discloses systems and methods related to protection of a reactor in an alternating current (AC) electric power system. In one embodiment, a system may include a protective action subsystem to implement a protective action based on identification of a fault condition associated with a reactor. A frequency determination subsystem may determine when a frequency of the AC voltage is outside of a range defined by a lower threshold and an upper threshold and may identify a change in the frequency associated with de-energization of a line in electrical communication with the reactor. A supervisory subsystem may restrain implementation of the protective action when the frequency is outside of the range or when the change in the frequency is associated with de-energization of the line in electrical communication with the reactor.

    摘要: The invention provides a method and system for operating an inverter based distributed power generation source with energy storage system, as a Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device—a STATCOM. The inverter based distributed power generation source can provide reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, damping enhancement, stability improvement and other benefits provided by FACTS devices. These STATCOM functions are provided when the said energy storage based distributed power generation source is doing at least one of: i) not exchanging active power with said power grid system, or ii) exchanging active power less than a maximum inverter capacity with said power grid system. The present invention thus provides a technological improvement that opens up a new set of applications and potential revenue earning opportunities for energy storage based distributed power generation sources other than simply from exchanging (injecting or absorbing) active power.
