  • System and method for power control in wind turbines
    Patent number: 7239036
    Abstract: A system and method for power control in wind turbines are provided. The method includes switching a plurality of switching devices in a power conversion component of the wind turbine system in a normal switching mode to provide power flow through the power conversion component. The method further includes switching the plurality of switches devices in the power conversion component of the wind turbine system in a short circuit switching mode to prevent power flow through the power conversion component.

  • Apparatus and method for optimally controlling flux in an AC motor
    Patent number: 6552508
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling flux in an induction motor. During initial start of an induction motor drive the motor flux has to be charged up. The method provides time optimal flux forcing under limited inverter ampere capability. Command stator flux and current are generated and coordinated through a motor flux model. Charging of the motor flux and flux current are accelerated up to nominal operating values in coordinated manner.
