System And Method For Controlling A M2Lc System

View page
US Patent:
8618698, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Sep 9, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/228483
Inventors:
Marc Francis Aiello - Oakmont PA, US
Dustin Matthew Kramer - Fort Collins CO, US
Kenneth Stephen Berton - Greensburg PA, US
Assignee:
Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation - Cheswick PA
International Classification:
H01H 9/54
US Classification:
307140
Abstract:
A modular multilevel converter system. The system includes a plurality of series connected two-terminal M2LC subsystems and a control system module. The two-terminal M2LC subsystems are arranged into at least two output phase modules. A first one of the output phase modules defines a total value of inductance and includes a positive arm and a negative arm. The control system module is configured to apply selectively reassigned modulated switch functions to only one of the following at a given instance of time: the two-terminal M2LC subsystems of the positive arm of the first one of the output phase modules or the two-terminal M2LC subsystems of the negative arm of the first one of the output phase modules. The selective reassigning of the modulated switch functions forces charge balance of the individual capacitors of the series connected two-terminal M2LC subsystems at a predetermined rate.

US Patent:
8649187, Feb 11, 2014
Filed:
Sep 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/238002
Inventors:
Marc Francis Aiello - Oakmont PA, US
Dustin Matthew Kramer - Fort Collins CO, US
Kenneth Stephen Berton - Greensburg PA, US
Assignee:
Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation - Cheswick PA
International Classification:
H02M 3/335
H02M 7/537
US Classification:
363 17, 363 65, 363 98, 363131, 363132
Abstract:
A two-level two-terminal modular multilevel converter subsystem. The subsystem includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The modular multilevel converter subsystem is configured to selectively place the first capacitor in series with the second capacitor. The modular multilevel converter subsystem is also configured to selectively place the first capacitor in parallel with the second capacitor relative to first and second output terminals of the modular multilevel converter subsystem.

M2Lc System Coupled To A Rectifier System

View page
US Patent:
20120112545, May 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 4, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/289005
Inventors:
Marc Francis AIELLO - Oakmont PA, US
Dustin Matthew KRAMER - Fort Collins CO, US
Kenneth Stephen BERTON - Greensburg PA, US
Assignee:
Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation - Cheswick PA
International Classification:
H02J 9/00
H02M 3/335
US Classification:
307 65, 307 64, 307 66, 363 17
Abstract:
A system. The system is a modular multilevel converter system and includes a plurality of series connected modular multilevel converter cells. At least one of the modular multilevel converter cells is a three-level modular multilevel converter cell. The plurality of series connected modular multilevel converter cells are coupled to a rectifier system via a DC bus.

US Patent:
20130234681, Sep 12, 2013
Filed:
Mar 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/790442
Inventors:
MARC FRANCIS AIELLO - Oakmont PA, US
Kenneth Stephen Berton - Greensburg PA, US
Walter Gilbert Barie - Allison Park PA, US
Assignee:
Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation - Cheswick PA
International Classification:
G05F 3/08
US Classification:
323208
Abstract:
A modular multilevel converter system. The system includes a plurality of series connected two-terminal M2LC cells arranged into at least two output phase modules. A first one of the output phase modules has an inductance and an effective capacitance associated therewith. The first one of the output phase modules is configured so that a natural resonant frequency of the inductance with the effective capacitance of the first one of the output phase modules is greater than at least one of the following: an operating frequency of the first one of the output phase modules; a switching frequency of the first one of the output phase modules; and a switching frequency of any of the M2LC cells of the first one of the output phase modules.

US Patent:
44410638, Apr 3, 1984
Filed:
May 6, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/147415
Inventors:
Richard W. Roof - Lexington SC
Kenneth S. Berton - Monroeville PA
Assignee:
Square D Company - Palatine IL
International Classification:
H02P 742
US Classification:
318722
Abstract:

Automatic Fault Protection System For Power Recovery Control

View page
US Patent:
43084915, Dec 29, 1981
Filed:
May 5, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/146968
Inventors:
F. Carl Joyner - Columbia SC
Julius M. Liptak - Columbia SC
Richard W. Roof - Lexington SC
Kenneth S. Berton - Monroeville PA
Assignee:
Square D Company - Palatine IL
International Classification:
H02P 758
US Classification:
318732
Abstract:
An adjustable speed pumping system includes a plurality of pumps respectively driven by variable speed A. C. motors each having a power recovery circuit. Each power recovery circuit includes a series connected rectifier bridge, an inductive reactor and an inverter coupled to the secondary winding of the motor which has an A. C. source connected to the primary winding. A fault clearing mechanism is included in each circuit and includes solid state switches in the bridge actuated by a current level sensor coupled to the inverter output. The power recovery circuit also includes current foldback circuitry and secondary gating circuitry coupled to thyristors in the inverter. The power recovery circuits can be connected in parallel with a single motor and the system includes circuitry for sensing the highest amplitude current in the parallel circuits and controlling all circuits with this current. Each pump has a valve associated with the outlet and circuitry associated therewith to operate the pump at a low forward speed upon receipt of a stop command until the valve is closed to prevent significant reverse flow through the pump.
