Method And Apparatus For Bidirectional Storage And Renewable Power Converter

View page
US Patent:
20190052092, Feb 14, 2019
Filed:
Aug 14, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/103145
Inventors:
- South Burlington VT, US
Apurva SOMANI - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:
H02J 3/38
H02M 7/797
H02J 7/00
Abstract:
An energy storage system for renewable energy applications includes a renewable energy source, a bidirectional inverter connected an AC bus and a DC bus, an energy storage unit connected to the bidirectional DC/DC converter, and a control system comprising one or more controllers coupled to the bidirectional inverter and the bidirectional DC/DC converter. The bidirectional inverter is connected to the renewable energy source and a bidirectional DC/DC converter through the DC bus. The control system is configured to facilitate the operation of the bidirectional DC/DC converter and the bidirectional inverter. The energy storage system both stores energy from the renewable energy source and a utility grid, and also supplies power to the utility grid. The energy storage system is utilized in a method for supporting frequency regulation of a utility grid and a method for controlling an output power ramp rate for a renewable energy storage system.

US Patent:
20180331543, Nov 15, 2018
Filed:
May 14, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/978585
Inventors:
- South Burlington VT, US
Apurva SOMANI - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:
H02J 3/38
H02M 3/335
H02J 7/35
H02J 7/00
Abstract:
An energy system for renewable energy applications includes a renewable energy source, a bidirectional inverter connected an AC bus and a DC bus, an energy storage unit connected to the bidirectional DC/DC converter, and a control system comprising one or more controllers coupled to the bidirectional inverter and the bidirectional DC/DC converter. The bidirectional inverter is connected to the renewable energy source and a bidirectional DC/DC converter through the DC bus. The system is configured to capture low power of a photovoltaic (PV) array, energy typically lost to inverter clipping, and through the utilization of ramp rate control.

Power System And Method Of Starting Multiple Power Converters In Grid Forming Mode

US Patent:
20180131268, May 10, 2018
Filed:
Oct 18, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/786996
Inventors:
- South Burlington VT, US
Apurva SOMANI - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:
H02M 1/36
H02J 3/38
Abstract:
A power system and method for performing a blackstart on a microgrid. The power system includes at least a first power converter and a second power converter. The first power converter comprises a first controller having a plurality of startup sequences for performing the blackstart. The second power converter is electrically coupled to the first power converter at a point of common coupling. During the blackstart, the first controller is configured to select and perform one of the plurality of startup sequences according to a point at which the second power converter is within the second power converter's startup sequence during the blackstart. The first controller selects the one of the plurality of startup sequences according to a microgrid voltage at the point of common coupling.
