Claim Text:
1. A system for operating a power generation system within a battery storage/discharge mode or a dynamic brake mode, the system comprising: a power convertor including a rotor side converter, a line side converter and a DC link coupled between the rotor side and line side converters, the rotor side converter being configured to convert AC power to DC power and the line side converter being configured to convert DC power to AC power; a selector switch coupled to the DC link; and a switching module coupled between the selector switch and the DC link, the selector switch being configured to selectively couple the switching module to one of a storage device or a resistive element of the power generation system, wherein the selector switch is movable between a first position, wherein the switching module is coupled to the storage device such that power is capable of being directed between the DC link and the storage device via control of the switching module, and a second position, wherein the switching module is coupled to the resistive element such that power is capable of being directed between the DC link and the resistive element via control of the switching module.
