Abstract: A system for controlling a power system is provided. The system includes an automatic voltage regulator configured to transmit a pulse output voltage, a power system stabilizer in communication with the automatic voltage regulator, and a self-tuning computing device. The self-tuning computing device is programmed to: a) receive a plurality of sensor information of operation of a generator; b) detect an oscillation during the operation of the generator from the plurality of sensor information; c) determine a gain and a time constant to counteract the oscillation; and d) transmit, to the power system stabilizer, the gain and the time constant. The power system stabilizer is configured to instruct the automatic voltage regulator to adjust its pulse output voltage based on the gain and the time constant.

Abstract: Systems and methods include an AC motor and one or more gas turbine generators configured to provide electrical power to the AC motor. The system also includes a controller configured to control operation of the one or more gas turbine generators by determining that the AC motor is to be started using the electrical power. Upon a determination that the AC motor is to be started using the electrical power, the controller is configured to boost the electrical power prior to starting the AC motor. The controller uses the boosted electrical power to pre-compensate for a drop in an electrical parameter of the electrical power due to an increased demand for the startup of the AC motor.

Abstract: A control house includes a motor control center. The motor control center includes a body, and the body includes a face. The motor control center also includes a first orientation bucket that is configured to be disposed at least partially within the body at a first plurality of positions. The first position of the first plurality of positions extends a first distance from the face, and the first position of the first plurality of positions is configured to couple the first orientation bucket to first contacts. A second position of the first plurality of positions extends a second distance from the face that is greater than the first distance, and the second position of the first plurality of positions is configured to decouple the orientation bucket from the first contacts. Additionally, the second distance is less than or equal to 160 millimeters.

Abstract: A system includes a bus duct that includes a first end, a second end, and a duct body extending between the first end and the second end. The duct body include a flexible bus duct section, and the duct body forms an interior cavity. The system also includes a bus bar disposed within the interior cavity of the bus duct. The bus bar includes a first rigid section, a second rigid section, and a flexible section disposed between the first rigid section and the second rigid section. The flexible section of the bus bar includes a conductive braid, and the flexible bus duct section and the flexible section of the bus bar are configured to translate along at least one of a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, and a vertical axis.
