SYNTHETIC GENERATOR SYNCHRONIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17817535 titled 'SYNTHETIC GENERATOR SYNCHRONIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure contemplates a method for synchronizing a large number of generators on an AC bus by synchronizing each generator's output to a nominal output that is generated from a common external source.
- Each generator synchronizes to a nominal output provided by a master generator or centralized command module using a high-speed communication signal.
- Each generator can generate its own nominal output referenced to a common external time signal, such as a GPS signal.
- Generators synchronize independently of bus voltage and frequency, allowing for parallel synchronization instead of serial synchronization.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in power plants, microgrids, and other systems with multiple generators that need to be synchronized.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of synchronizing a large number of generators on an AC bus efficiently and accurately.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved system reliability, increased efficiency, and simplified maintenance procedures.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include power generation systems, renewable energy systems, and backup power systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art is the use of synchronization methods in power plants and microgrids to ensure proper operation of multiple generators.
What are the safety implications of implementing this technology in power plants or microgrids?
Implementing this technology in power plants or microgrids could improve safety by ensuring that generators are synchronized properly, reducing the risk of electrical faults and system failures.
How does this technology compare to traditional methods of generator synchronization?
This technology offers a more efficient and accurate method of synchronizing generators compared to traditional methods, which may rely on manual adjustments or less precise synchronization techniques.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure contemplates a method for synchronizing a large number of generators on an AC bus by synchronizing each generator's output to a nominal output that is generated from a common external source. For example, each generator, using a high speed communication signal, can synchronize to a nominal output provided by a master generator, or centralized command module. In another example, each generator can generate its own nominal output referenced to a common external time signal, such as a global positioning system (GPS) signal, or other reference. By synchronizing independently of bus voltage and frequency, the generators are able to synchronize in parallel, instead of serially.
