Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid generation system and a control method thereof. The hybrid generation system can maximize operation efficiency of a generator by selectively supplying normal utility power or power, which is generated by the generator, based on a power level supplied to a load. A hybrid generation system includes a generator and a generator controller. The generator generates power, and the generator controller performs a control activity to supply one of the normal utility power and the generated power to the load. The selective supply of the normal utility power or the generated power can maximize efficiency of the generator and as a result, a power consumption level of the hybrid generation system can be decreased, thereby reducing related costs.

The airconditioning generation system includes one or more indoor units (111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 131, 132, 133), one or more outdoor units (110, 120, 130), a generator (70) for providing the indoor and outdoor units with a power-supply signal, and a distribution unit (80, 80?) for detecting an individual-phase power value consumed by the indoor units, changing a phase of the power-supply signal transmitted from the generator (70) to the indoor or outdoor units, and establishing three-phase equilibrium. Therefore, if an unbalanced phase occurs in the three-phase power-supply signals applied to an airconditioner, the system solves the unbalanced phase, such that it prevents a product from being damaged and increases product reliability.

Abstract: A method for controlling multiple compressors for use in an airconditioner is disclosed. In the airconditioner having N compressors, the method sequentially and equally operates the N compressors using a two-dimensional matrix which prevents only a specific compressor from among the N compressors from being repeatedly operated, arranges rows and columns of the two-dimensional matrix to allow all compressors to be alternately operated according to the number of operating compressors from among all compressors, and stochastically operates and stops the N compressors using the two-dimensional matrix. As a result, the method controls the N compressors to be equally operated without overlapping operation times of the N compressors, and alleviates fatigue of the compressors, resulting in equally longer lifetimes of the N compressors.
