Method and system for managing an electrical output of a turbogenerator

摘要

The system and method manages an electrical output (11) of a turbogenerator (10) in accordance with multiple modes. In a first mode, a direct current (DC) bus (14) receives power from the turbogenerator output (11) via a rectifier (12) where turbogenerator revolutions per unit time (e.g., revolutions per minute (RPM)) or an electrical output level of the turbogenerator output (11) meet or exceed a minimum threshold. In a second mode, if the turbogenerator revolutions per unit time or electrical output level of a turbogenerator output (11) are less than the minimum threshold, an electric drive motor (28) or a generator (42) mechanically powered by the engine provides electrical energy to the direct current bus (14).
