A power generation system comprises a generator set, a switch device, an electrical storage device, a first inverter, a second inverter, and a controller. The switch device includes an input terminal connected to the generator set and an output terminal connected to a load. The first inverter is connected between the input terminal and the electrical storage device. The second inverter is connected between the output terminal and the electrical storage device. The controller is communicably coupled to the generator set, the switch device, the first inverter, and the second inverter. The controller is configured to determine whether an external power source is providing power to the load and, if not, the controller operates the power generation system in a first state. If the external power source is providing power to the load, the controller operates the power generation system in a second state.

Hybrid universal load conditioner

A power generation system () including an inverter () structured to convert a direct current (DC) power output from an external source () to an alternating current (AC) power. The inverter includes at least one phase for converting the DC power to a corresponding phase of AC power. The system also includes an alternator () of a generator set (). The alternator includes at least one phase, each comprising a first winding section and a second winding section coupled in series between a point of common coupling and an output terminal of the phase. A phase of the inverter is connected in parallel with the first winding section of the alternator. The inverter is configured to provide reactive power compensation, power factor correction or acts as an active filter to provide harmoincs damping and the system can be used to buffer and handle grids transients.
