  • METHOD FOR OPERATING A POWER PLANT, AND POWER PLANT
    Publication number: 20170207628
    Abstract: A method for operating a power plant is disclosed. The method comprises providing at least one shaft power thereby providing a total shaft power, driving at least one generator thereby providing a total electric power output, providing a first share of the total electric power output to a grid as a grid power output, and providing a second share of the total electric power output to at least one power consumer. The grid power output is modulated independently from the total electric power output and the total shaft power output in modulating the second share of the total electric power output.

  • Method for early detection and anticipatory control of consumer-end load shedding in an electrical grid, and apparatus for carrying out the method
    Patent number: 9599999
    Abstract: A method for early detection and anticipatory control of consumer-end load shedding in a single-phase or polyphase electrical grid supplied with single phase or polyphase by at least one generator driven by at least one rotating machine includes measuring a current and a voltage between the at least one generator and the electrical grid and/or a current and a voltage in the electrical grid, deriving at least one signal from the measured current and voltage and using the at least one derived signal to act on the at least one rotating machine.
