Definitions

  • This invention relates to a generator system and method of operating such a generator system when it is connected to a utility power supply.
  • a.c. generators can be connected to local loads via power cables that are provided by a utility power company, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the utility company 10 provides a three-phase supply to the local load 12 via three power cables LI, L2 and L3 and a neutral cable N.
  • the generator 14 is connected in parallel to the utility 10 and the local load 12 using each of the utility cables LI, L2 and L3 and N.
  • the utility company generally requires that the generator 14 does not export power to the utility supply 10, that is, it does not generate more power than the local load 12 requires.
  • the utility company 10 needs to monitor the usage of utility power by the local load 12 when the power supplied by the generator 14 is insufficient. Conventionally, this is achieved by fitting a power transducer 16 between the utility company and the generator, as shown in
  • the power transducer 16 is connected to each phase line LI, L2 and L3 of the utility supply 10 and monitors the average three phase power flow between the utility 10 and the combination of the generator 14 and the local load 12. In this way, the transducer 16 is able to detect when the generator 14 is generating too much power. When a net transfer of power to the utility 10 is detected, this information is fed back to the generator 14, which varies its output until there is no net power flow out of the local load. Likewise, when power is drawn from the utility 10, the transducer 16 is able to monitor the usage by the load 12.
  • a disadvantage of the arrangement of Figure 2 is that the power flow in each phase is not monitored or controlled, instead only the average three phase power can be maintained and controlled. Thus, if the power demand of the local load is unbalanced between the phases, this unbalance may be passed on at least in part to the utility.
  • a further problem arises when non-linear loads generate harmonic currents, because the flow of harmonic currents to the utility is effectively not monitored or controlled by the method described, so that the utility 10 has to support at least in part any harmonic currents caused by such non-linear loads.
  • a still further disadvantage is that there is no control of the reactive power, by which is meant the term VIsin ⁇ , where V and I are rms magnitudes of sinusoidal components of phase voltage and current respectively, and ⁇ is the phase angle between them, which corresponds to a component of power that oscillates in direction over the AC cycle when ⁇ is non-zero.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a system that reduces or eliminates reactive and harmonic currents seen by a utility power supplier when a local generator system is connected to the utility power supplier.
  • a generator system comprising: a local a.c. generator that is operable to be connected to a utility power line and a load, a current sensor for sensing instantaneous current demanded by the load and means for varying the output of the local a.c. generator as a function of the instantaneous current sensed to cause the local a.c. generator to supply a pre-determined portion of the instantaneous current demanded, preferably substantially all of the current demanded.
  • utility it is meant any independent supplier of electricity such as a national power supplier or alternatively another third party electrical supplier.
  • the local generator provides all or an agreed proportion of the harmonic current and all or an agreed proportion of the instantaneous power per phase demanded by the local load, which further means that it supplies all or an agreed proportion of the reactive power demanded by the local load.
  • the utility effectively maintains the voltage waveform and no instantaneous current is drawn from any line of the utility, except when the local load demand exceeds the local generator capability.
  • the local generator and the utility each have a plurality of phases in equal number, for example three.
  • a current sensor may be provided on each phase line between the local generator and the load.
  • the local generator comprises an output inverter, which acts (together with any output filter(s)) as a power conditioner to supply electrical power to the user with appropriate waveform and frequency, and a source of power to supply the inverter.
  • the power source may be a gas turbine driving a permanent magnet alternator, or a fuel cell, or an array of photovoltaic cells, or any other source of electrical power, which may be made suitable to supply the inverter.
  • the local generator is a hysteresis-band bang-bang type current generator or any form of generator with feedback such as to make its characteristics so that output current can be controlled in accordance with a current demand waveform or any other form of generator that achieves the effect of making the output current waveform closely follow the demand waveform.

  • the generator current waveform changes immediately, or within a few cycles, to match it. For example, should the power demand and the load current increase in any one phase, this is sensed by the relevant sensor and the output of the generator 14 is increased accordingly to provide more current in that phase and thereby accommodate the extra power required by the load 12. Hence, no instantaneous power is drawn from the utility 10. Likewise, if the instantaneous current load is decreased in any one phase, this is sensed and the output of the generator 14 is varied to reduce the current in that phase. In this way, no power is exported to the utility nor any current exchanged with it.
  • the current in the fourth neutral line N is equivalent to the sum of the currents in the other phase lines LI, L2 and L3, there is no need to monitor or control the neutral current.

In this way, instantaneous power is not drawn from the utility.

This is advantageous.
