Enhanced distributed energy resource system
| DWPI Title: Distributed energy resource system for providing supplemental current, has power source connected to conversion device for converting direct current into alternating current, where device is connected to power distribution system |
| Abstract: A power transmission system including a direct current power source electrically connected to a conversion device for converting direct current into alternating current, a conversion device connected to a power distribution system through a junction, an energy storage device capable of producing direct current connected to a converter, where the converter, such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor, converts direct current from an energy storage device into alternating current and supplies the current to the junction and subsequently to the power distribution system. A microprocessor controller, connected to a sampling and feedback module and the converter, determines when the current load is higher than a set threshold value, requiring triggering of the converter to supply supplemental current to the power transmission system. |
| Use: Used for providing supplemental current. |
| Advantage: The system facilitates to efficiently supply excess current demands and protects integrity of an energy delivery system. |
| Novelty: The system (20) has a power source e.g. fuel cell, electrically connected to a conversion device e.g. static power converter, for converting direct current into alternating current, where the device is electrically connected to a power distribution system via a junction. An energy storage device e.g. battery, produces direct current, and is connected to a converter unit e.g. high-power electronic circuit converter module, that comprises a power semiconductor device e.g. metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor, where the converter unit generates a square wave. |
