Abstract

A power generation system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the power generation system includes a fuel source to provide fuel, a turbogenerator, coupled to the fuel source, to generate AC power, and a power controller electrically coupled to the turbogenerator. The power controller includes a first power converter to convert the AC power to DC power on a DC bus, and a second power converter to convert the DC power on the DC bus to an output power to supply a load. The power controller to regulate the fuel to the turbogenerator, independent of a DC voltage on the DC bus. A capacitor, such as an electrochemical capacitor or a hybrid capacitor, is coupled to the DC bus to source instantaneous power to and sink instantaneous power from the DC bus, due to load changes, to stabilize the DC voltage on the DC bus.
