  • Turbine engine hybrid power supply
    Patent number: 9099882
    Abstract: A method for controlling a hybrid machine is disclosed. The hybrid machine may be equipped with a turbine engine, a generator connected in series with the turbine engine, an electrical energy storage device, and a motor drivingly connected to a power output component for the hybrid machine. A controller may receive a power demand signal, determine a power level in the electrical energy storage device, determine available inertial energy stored at least in rotating components of the turbine engine and the generator, and provide one or more control signals to selectively control powering the turbine engine to full power, selectively turn off all fuel to the turbine engine, selectively store excess energy as electrical energy by directing excess electrical energy from the generator to the electrical energy storage device, and selectively store excess energy as inertial energy.
    Type: Grant
