Electrical subsystem of the low-power cogeneration plant with low-speed vehicle

Nowadays diesel power plants form the basis of distributed power generation in Russia, but they have disadvantages. The alternative variant is cogeneration plant based on the rotary-vane machine. One of the types of such machines is the rotary-vane external combustion vehicle (engine) developed in Pskov State University. Electrical subsystem of the plant requires its effective work to provide both start and generation modes. Development of such subsystem structure, employment of elements for links with other subsystems in the hierarchic control system is an actual task. The paper considers structures of the electrical part of the plant, simulation and experiment results

Investigation of permanent magnet synchronous machine with recuperation block

permanent magnet synchronous machines (motors) (PMSM) are getting increasingly involved in electrical engineering and electric power sector. The possible application for PMSM is autonomous decentralized low-power source which requires electric starter-generator.Structure designing electric starter-generator for the autonomous cogeneration plant based on the rotary-vane external combustion vehicle (RVECE) is mostly consists of designing electric energy generating system. But the designing and investigating system starting operating modes is also of interest.The paper considers structures of the starter-generator for autonomous low-power sources based on RVECE, the test stand composition and the experiment results
