Abstract
A method of controlling a variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) power converter is provided. The method includes receiving a determination that a sensed AC current output has exceeded a predetermined limit. The AC current output is converted from a DC voltage and has a constant frequency. The DC voltage is converted from a variable frequency AC voltage. The variable frequency AC voltage is generated in response to a mechanical energy input having a varying parameter. The method further includes decreasing the DC voltage in response to a determination that the sensed AC current output has exceeded the predetermined limit.
