  • Power control converter and method for controlling power between two AC power units
    Patent number: 11201551
    Abstract: A power transmission unit for controlling a flow of electric energy between two AC power units is provided. The power transmission unit comprises a main transformer having a first winding and a second winding as well as a switchable auxiliary AC unit for applying a tunable auxiliary AC voltage across an auxiliary AC side of the auxiliary AC unit. The auxiliary AC side is connected in series with the first winding of the main transformer to form a series connection. Further, a power conversion unit comprising the power transmission unit and two AC power units as well as a method for controlling a flow of electric energy by using such a power conversion unit are provided.
