Patent
Method and system for control of turbogenerator power and temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, a power controller controls the turbine of a turbine powered generating system regardless of the load on the system to maximize the efficiency of the turbine and maintain the turbine at a substantially constant temperature during a system load change by using an energy storage device to provide power to the load while the turbine is changing speed to meet the new load demand.
Patent
Detection of islanded behavior and anti-islanding protection of a generator in grid-connected mode
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of controlling a generator system connected to an electric power system in which the output frequency characteristic of the generator system is measured, a first phase angle and frequency of the measured frequency characteristic is estimated using a first-phase locked loop having a first bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth, and a second-phase angles and frequencies of the estimated frequency characteristic are estimated using an additional loop with a second bandwidth larger than the second bandwidth.
Patent
Turbogenerator with electrical brake
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated turbogenerator system with an air intake for a compressor to supply combustion air to a combustor, an electric brake device such as a resistor is connected to the electrical power output of the turboturbator and is situated in the air intake to be cooled by the stream of combustion air flowing into the intake.

TL;DR: In this paper, an isolated DC bus architecture was proposed to enable bi-directional power flow among interconnected elements. But the architecture is not suitable for the use of a turbogenerator to provide power to the primary energy source.
Patent
Method and apparatus for indirect catalytic combustor preheating
TL;DR: In this article, a turbogenerator system including a recuperator and a catalytic combustor employs a preheater located between the turbine outlet and the recuperators low-pressure inlet to heat the low pressure turbine exhaust.
