Abstract

See full text

The present subject matter is directed to a method for controlling a generator of an electrical power system. The generator includes a generator stator magnetically coupled to a generator rotor. The method includes operating the generator stator of the generator at a first voltage level. Another step includes monitoring, via one or more sensors, at least one of a rotor speed or a rotor voltage of the generator rotor. The method also includes reducing the first voltage level of the generator stator by a predetermined percentage when the rotor speed is within a low speed range or the rotor voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold so as to increase an operating range of the rotor speed. Thus, the increased operating range of the rotor speed increases power production of the electrical power system in the low speed range.
