A MODULAR, SCALABLE, MULTI-FUNCTION, POWER QUALITY SYSTEM FOR UTILITY NETWORKS

摘要

A modular, scalable, multi-function, power quality system provides a modular and scalable power conditioning system for utility networks. A configurable frame is coupled to an electrical input and an electrical output. A plurality of functional slots each including a receiving connector are coupled to the frame. One or more unique function subsystems are coupled to selected functional slots. Each unique function subsystem includes one or more electrical components coupled to the receiving connector of selected functional slots configured to define functional capability associated with the one or more functional slots. A plurality of identical power modules are disposed in selected functional slots of each of the one or more unique function subsystems. A controller coupled to each of the power modules is configured to enable the power modules in predetermined functional slots of the one or more unique subsystems to perform a predetermined function associated with the electrical input or the electrical output.
