Title:
ENERGY GENERATION AND SUPPLY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF OPERATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/030296
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
There is provided an energy generation and supply system (50, 1000) provides, when in operation, instantaneous frequency response, for example from a diesel standby plant and/or gas turbine engine plant. The supply system (50, 1000) beneficially includes a power generator (101, 102, 103, 1100, 1110) for generating power, an arrangement of energy storage devices (106, 107, 1120A, 1120B, 1130) for receiving power from the power generator (101, 103, 1100, 1110) and for buffering energy flows within the supply system (50, 1000), an energy management system (EMS) (114) for managing power flows within the supply system (50, 1000), and a power-flow metering arrangement (M) (109, 110, 111) for monitoring power flows occurring in respect of an electrical power grid (113) to which the supply system (50, 1000) is coupled, and an energy consuming arrangement (112, 1020) to which the supply system (50, 1000) is coupled. The energy management system (EMS) (114) is coupled to the power-flow metering arrangement (M) (109, 110, 111) for receiving information indicative of power flows occurring within the supply system (50, 1000), and the energy management system (EMS) (114) is coupled to control an inverter arrangement (105, 108) for interfacing electrical characteristics of the energy storage devices (106, 107, 1120A, 1120B, 1130) to the power generator (101, 102, 103, 1100, 1110), and for interfacing the energy storage devices (106, 107, 1120A, 1120B, 1130) to the electrical power grid (113) and the energy consuming arrangement (112, 1020). The supply system (50, 1000) is beneficially used to provide, when in operation, recharging of one or more electrical vehicles, for example for fast charging a plurality of electrical vehicles concurrently at a vehicle forecourt or service station.
