Abstract

A power generation system includes a rotary power generator for generating a variable-frequency alternating current, a generator side converter for converting the variable-frequency alternating current into a DC current, a DC link coupled to the generator side converter for receiving the DC current, a line side converter coupled to the DC link for converting the DC current into an alternating current with controlled amplitude or frequency, a generator side controller for receiving a DC link voltage command signal and a DC link voltage feedback signal and generating control signals for the generator side converter, and a line side controller for receiving a generator torque command signal and a generator torque feedback signal and generating control signals for the line side converter.
