  • Systems and methods for isolating faults in electrical power systems connected to a power grid
    Patent number: 10819103
    Abstract: A method for isolating faults in an electrical power system connected to a power grid includes dividing the electrical power system into a plurality of power modules each including a plurality of electrical power subsystems and a substation. Each of the electrical power subsystems defines a stator power path and a converter power path for providing power to the power grid and having a partial power transformer. The method also includes coupling each of the power modules to the power grid via a primary electrical line. Further, the method includes monitoring the electrical power system for faults. In response to detecting a fault in one of the power modules, the method includes isolating the fault to the power module experiencing the fault. In contrast, if the fault is detected in the primary electrical line or the power grid, the method includes tripping the electrical power system.
