  • Publication number: 20180219379
    Abstract: A power plant installation includes a feed connection for feeding energy into an external energy supply grid and at least one energy-generating unit. The power plant installation includes at least one energy storage unit and at least one isolated component grid which is connected to the feed connection via a converter of the power plant installation and is electrically isolated from the feed connection and the external energy supply grid by the converter, the at least one energy-generating unit and/or the at least one energy storage unit are connected to the isolated component network, and the powerplant installation has a control device which, by actuating the converter, the energy-generating unit and/or the energy storage unit, adjusts the feed behaviour of the power plant installation which is effective towards the outside at the feed connection.

  • Patent number: 9318979
    Abstract: A converter arrangement has at least one AC voltage connection, at which an alternating current can be fed in or drawn, and at least one DC voltage connection, at which a direct current can be fed in or drawn. The converter arrangement contains at least two series circuits connected in parallel. The external connections of the series circuits form the DC voltage connections of the converter arrangement. Each of the series circuits is connected in parallel and contains in each case at least two submodules connected in series, each of the submodules containing at least two switches and a capacitor. An energy store is to be connected to the capacitor of at least one of the submodules, wherein a filter is connected electrically between the capacitor and the energy store.
