Abstract
Protection against damage caused by excessively high input energies, e.g., from ocean storms, is provided in energy converting systems by, in response to the detection of excessively high input energies, changing the electrical impedance of the electrical load to which power from an electrical generator is being delivered for increasing the generator output current for reducing the power converting efficiency of the generator. This increases the mechanical impedance presented by the generator to the source of input energy for reducing the motion producing effect of the input energy.
