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: 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.
