MULTI-PORT ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND CONTROL FOR LASER POWER SUPPLY
A hybrid induction machine includes a stator with an input winding, a plurality of output windings with output ports, and a rotor connected to a flywheel operating as a reserve of kinetic energy to buffer surges in demand for electrical power due to large, pulsed loads with high repetition rates. Degradation of power quality at the output ports of the hybrid induction machine due to electrical noise on a main bus providing electrical power to the hybrid induction machine and other apparatus can be eliminated through the use of feed-forward harmonic cancellation signals, galvanic and magnetic isolation of the output ports, and damper networks.
Motor-alternator-motor (MAM) systems and methods for using same
Like a transformer that can increase or decrease AC voltage or current by increasing or decreasing the turns-ratio of the transformer an amplification factor is developed. And like a transistor that can amplify/attenuate an electrical signal and by manipulating the hfe of the transistor, it could increase or decrease the amplification factor of the transistor. Likewise, the MAM unit, depending on the number of phases used, can amplify the power for a given output motor by increasing the number of phases of the output AC motor, which substantially reduces the amount of current an AC motor will draw for a specific amount of torque. By increasing the number of phases on an AC synchronous, asynchronous, axial, induction, or reluctance type motor, using alternating current, you can increase the efficiency, which implies an amplification factor of the motor thereby reducing the applied current required for a given amount of torque/speed.
