Abstract: A method for operating an inverter for coupling an electric machine designed for operation on AC voltage, to an AC voltage network, includes the steps of determining a torque-related machine current component composed of electrical machine currents of the electrical machine, detecting an actual value for a magnetic flux, determining an actual value of a machine torque of the electric machine by linking the detected magnetic flux to the torque-related machine current component, determining a torque difference between the actual value of the machine torque and a setpoint value of the machine torque of the electric machine, filtering the torque difference by a bandpass filter which is tuned to a machine-side natural frequency, determining a compensation signal by processing a filter output signal of the bandpass filter, and superimposing the compensation signal on the network control signal and/or the machine control signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, computer program product, and apparatus and control system and method for providing substantially uninterrupted power to a load. The apparatus includes a control system coupled with an electrical power storage subsystem and a electrical power generator. The control system is configured to provide a plurality of modes of operation including at least a static compensator (STATCOM) mode, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) mode and a generator mode (gen set), and to control transitions between each of the plurality of modes. In one embodiment, the control system is an integrated closed loop control system that includes a current control system and a voltage control system. The apparatus is capable of operating at least two of the plurality of modes simultaneously, including ramping the gen set mode up and simultaneously ramping the UPS mode down as the gen set mode is ramped down.

Abstract: A system for supplying power to a load connected to a power supply network, to achieve improve operating. the invention provides for the load to be connected via an inductive element, such as a duplex inductor, to the electrical supply network and to an energy store. With the inductive element having the same turns ratios, the impedance between the electrical power supply network and the energy store is greater by a factor of about 4 than that between the load and the power supply network or the energy store.
