  • Electric power generating system
    Patent number: 7642756
    Abstract: An electric power generating system connectable to a reconfigurable power distribution network, and wherein a number of alternators, driven by internal combustion engines running at different speeds ?1, ?2, . . . , ?n, supply alternating voltages to rectifiers (14) generating rectified voltages V(r1), V(r2), . . . , V(rn) which are maintained substantially equal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2006
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2010
    Assignee: Ansaldo Energia S.p.A.

  • Reconfigurable power distribution network
    Publication number: 20070086123
    Abstract: A reconfigurable power distribution network having a number of power lines; and a number of switches for carrying electric power between the power lines and electric user devices. An electronic control unit is provided to safety control the switches, on the basis of incoming signals indicating a short-circuit/overload in the network, and on the basis of electric power flow through the switches, to reconfigure the network upon detection of a short-circuit or overload.
