This report presents a survey on generator concepts and power electronic concepts for wind turbines. The report is aimed as a tool for decision-makers and development people with respect to wind turbine manufactures, utilities, and independent system operators as well as manufactures of generators and power electronics. The survey is focused on the electric development of wind turbines and it y...

This paper presents an engine-in-the-loop validation of a power management strategy for hybrid electric powertrains that splits the power demanded by driver between the engine and battery depending on the frequency content. In particular, a series hybrid electric powertrain is considered where the engine is a real 6.4L diesel engine and the rest of the vehicle, including the battery, generator,...

This work gives sequence to the study on the measurement of the electrostatic charges in aerosols. The particle charge classifier developed for this purpose and presented in the previous paper (Marra and Coury, 2000) has been used here to measure the particle charge distribution of a number of different aerosols. The charges acquired by the particles were naturally derived from the aerosol gene...

This paper presents a Matlab based simulation model to regulate the terminal voltage and frequency of three phase self-excited induction generator using switching control . A new block in Matlab has been developed for steady state analysis of three phase self-excited induction generator wherein the output voltage and frequency of generator remains constant irrespective of changes in consumer lo...

The function of our new marine hybrid turbocharger, which has a generator on its rotor shaft, is to supply electric power for consumption onboard a ship and to supercharge the ship’s diesel engine. The generator is driven by the turbocharger shaft, which is rotated by exhaust-gas energy; thus, the generator is an exhaust-heat-recovery device, and energy savings can be expected. A high-speed, hi...

This paper describes the modeling of dual hybrid electric vehicle drivetrain and proposes a hybrid control system for controlling the drivetrains. In dual hybrid electric drivetrains, the energy from the engine passes through the planetary gear set and is split into the generator and motor paths. A complete dual hybrid electric drivetrain system model is developed. The modeling process is discu...

This paper presents the development of a printed circuit board (PCB) integrated vibration-induced power generator with total volume of ~1cm that uses lasermicromachined springs as resonating structures. The goal of our research is to create a minimally sized, economical, and circuit integrated electric power generator capable of producing enough voltage to drive low-power IC circuit or wireless...
