A drive system () includes a power converter () with power modules () supplying power to one or more output phases (A, B, C), a central control system () in communication with the power converter () and controlling operation of the power modules (), wherein the central control system () comprises an advanced protection module (APM) configured via executable instructions to receive input data from an electrical load () operably coupled to the one or more output phases (A, B, C) utilizing power converter feedback from the electrical load (), determine one or more operating conditions of the electrical load () based on the input data; and output one or more protection parameters based on a determined operating condition of the electrical load () for protecting the electrical load ().

System and method for protecting an electrical load of a drive system

A system for delivering power to an offshore load is disclosed. The system may include an on-land source of three-phase power, an on-land AC-to-DC power conversion module, a DC transmission line, and an offshore DC-to-AC power inverter. The on-land AC-to-DC power conversion module may be configured to convert the three-phase power to DC power. The DC transmission line may have a source end and a load end, where the source end is configured to receive DC power from the on-land AC-to-DC power conversion module. The offshore DC-to-AC power inverter may be configured to receive DC power from the DC transmission line, convert the DC power to three-phase AC power, and deliver the three-phase AC power to an offshore load.
