Abstract:
An example system includes a gas-turbine configured to generate mechanical energy using fuel; an electrical generator configured to generate electrical energy using the mechanical energy generated by the gas-turbine; an electrical converter configured to process the electrical energy generated by the electrical generator; and a converter controller configured to reduce, responsive to detecting occurrence of a fault in the electrical generator or the electrical converter, an amount of fuel provided to the gas-turbine.
