Synchrogenverter - parallel connection of synchronous generator and power converter with energy storage

The paper describes novel power generation topology wherein synchronous generator have a parallel connected power electronic converter. In this arrangement synchronous generator is only source of active power and power electronic converter is source of reactive power. Such power distribution allows to increase the synchronous generator generated active power by 25%, and operate with unity power factor. The power converter with energy storage system embedded can deliver additional active power in transient state to improve generator stability.
