Claim Text:
1. A power conversion system for converting a high voltage DC power input from one or more turbine generators to an AC grid supply power output, the system comprising: a line voltage input for receiving said high voltage DC power input exclusively from said one or more turbine generators; a converter module for converting said high voltage DC power input to an AC power output; a synchronous motor, said synchronous motor driven by said AC power output provided by said converter module; and a synchronous generator, separate from said converter module, operable to provide said AC grid supply power output for connection to a grid supply; wherein said synchronous generator is driven by said synchronous motor, and wherein said converter module is a thyristor bridge inverter coupled between said line voltage input and said synchronous motor to provide said AC power output to said motor to drive said motor, and wherein said synchronous motor is coupled between said thyristor bridge inverter and said synchronous generator to drive said synchronous generator and separate said thryistor bridge inverter from said synchronous generator to isolate said thyristor bridge inverter from said gird supply.
