  • Silicon carbide power inverter/rectifier for electric machines
    Patent number: 10910957
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves a two stage inverter, a system for electrical power conversation, and a method of converting electrical power using silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). One example implementation includes using two or more SiC MOSFETs in series with each MOSFET having a gate terminal for triggering a state switch between an on (conducting) and off (non-conducting) state of the MOSFET. An AC terminal is connected between the series SiC MOSFETS, and the series SiC MOSFETs are connected across a DC bus and in parallel with one or more capacitors.

  • Common monitoring and/or control of a flywheel and battery-based power supply system
    Patent number: 9099887
    Abstract: A power supply system includes a flywheel system electrically coupled to a DC bus for supplying electrical power between a power grid and a load. The flywheel system includes a flywheel coupled to rotate with a rotor of a motor/generator. A battery system is electrically coupled to the DC bus concurrently with the flywheel system.

  • Turbine with exhaust vortex disrupter and annular recuperator
    Patent number: 6634176
    Abstract: In a turbine engine with an annular recuperator surrounding the turbine, exhaust gas is directed from the turbine to the recuperator by a generally curved exhaust dome. A vortex disrupter structure extends from the exhaust dome to a point distal of the turbine to evenly distribute the exhaust gas entering the recuperator and sustain diffusion of the exhaust gas to increase the expansion ratio across the turbine.
