| 20080315685 | Energy Converter System With Reactive-Power-Management - A distributed generation system is connected to an AC power line that provides AC electrical power from a source to a load. The distributed generation system includes a DC electrical power source, a capacitor for storing DC electrical power, a converter for converting electrical power stored in the DC electrical power source at a first voltage to a second, greater voltage for storage in the capacitor. The system includes an inverter for inverting the electrical power stored in the capacitor at the second voltage into AC electrical power having a peak voltage less than the second voltage. A controller is provided and operative for controlling the operation of the converter and the inverter to deliver electrical power stored in the DC electrical power source to the capacitor for delivery as AC electrical power to the AC power line. | 12-25-2008 |
