Abstract
A system includes a switch configured to couple a generator to a utility grid, a first converter having a first port coupled to the generator, a second converter having a first port coupled to a second port of the first converter and a second port coupled to the utility grid, and a controller configured to control the switch and the first and second converters. The controller may be configured to cause the first and second converters to provide power to the utility grid from the generator after the generator starts and before a state of the generator meets a predetermined criterion.
