Publication number: 20250088128Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating an outlet coolant temperature of a genset and an inlet coolant temperature of the genset are provided. A load condition of the genset may be determined. An operating mode can be selected from between a first mode associated with a first load condition and a second mode associated with a second load condition responsive to determining the load condition of the genset. The first mode and the second mode may be configured to determine a target inlet coolant temperature using one or more control loops. The target inlet coolant temperature may be determined using the selected operating mode, a target outlet coolant temperature and the outlet coolant temperature. The outlet coolant temperature may be regulated based on the determined target inlet coolant temperature and the inlet coolant temperature by adjusting an operation of one or more coolant valves.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Cummins Power Generation LimitedInventors: Ankit Vinodchandra PATEL, Raghunandan Subramaniam, Philippe Goesel, Apoorv Prakash Hiremath

Patent number: 12074442Abstract: Systems and methods for managing reactive power during low voltage ride through are provided. Responsive to detecting a fault on a power grid, a controller may identify a power regulation mode of the generator system. The controller can switch the power regulation mode to an offset power regulation mode of the generator system responsive to identifying the power regulation mode. The controller may adjust a value of a parameter of the generator system from a normal value to an offset value, wherein the parameter is selected based on the offset power regulation mode. The controller can maintain the value of the parameter as the offset value for a period of time. After the period of time, the controller can modify the value of the parameter from the offset value to the normal value, and the power regulation mode from the offset power regulation mode to the identified power regulation mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Cummins Power Generation LimitedInventors: Ankit Vinodchandra Patel, Apoorv Prakash Hiremath, Raghunandan Subramaniam

Patent number: 11929618Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting abrupt voltage changes and supplying reactive power support are provided. In some embodiments, a genset connected to a power grid can identify a maximum voltage value and a minimum voltage value. The maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value are based on an average of a plurality of mains voltage values. The genset may detect an abrupt voltage change by determining whether an instantaneous mains voltage value is above the maximum voltage value or below the minimum voltage value. The genset can adjust an amount of reactive current either supplied to the power grid or consumed by the genset for a period of time, responsive to detecting the abrupt voltage change.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Cummins Power Generation LimitedInventors: Raghunandan Subramaniam, Adunola Christiana Fashogbon, Apoorv Prakash Hiremath, Ankit Vinodchandra Patel
