A power generation system (10) and a method for storing electrical energy are provided. The method includes generating a first AC voltage from a wind turbine generator (22) and converting the first AC voltage to a first DC voltage, utilizing a rectifier (40). The method further includes routing the first DC voltage through a DC voltage bus (41) to an inverter (42) of the power converter (24), and converting the first DC voltage to a second AC voltage utilizing the inverter (42) and outputting the second AC voltage to an electrical grid (12) in response to a first control signal from a power converter controller (46). The method further includes receiving the first DC voltage from the DC voltage bus at a DC-DC converter (44) operably coupled to the DC voltage bus (41), and storing electrical energy from the first DC voltage in a battery storage unit (26) utilizing the DC-DC converter (44) in response to a second control signal. |
