The system contains a turbine directly connected to a high speed permanent magnet synchronous generator, an AC/AC converter and a microprocessor based supervisory control unit. The basic idea of the system is to convert the energy content of the working medium into electric energy by the turbine-generator set and the AC/AC converter. Application fields of the system include most of the alternative renewable energy resources that are suitable for producing saturated or superheated steam with low or medium pressure. Solar energy, geothermal energy and energy obtained from biomass can be utilized by the system under consideration. Flexible, economic and environment-friendly way of electric energy generation can be obtained by applying the analyzed system in steam, gas and fluid networks where the process of pressure reduction is a key issue. Optimal performance of the system requires novel control strategies to be applied to the electromechanical energy conversion process. The power equilibrium of the electric and mechanical sides of the system is ensured by an indirect speed control loop which provides optimum performance and economy in the combined mechanical-electric drive.
