Diesel engine + PM generator control

Diesel engine + PM generator control

Diesel engine + PM generator control

(OP)
Hi All

I am involved in a project where we have a diesel engine that has a permanent magnet DC generator attached directly to the fly wheel.  We need to implement a control scheme for this generator set.  The generator is going to be installed in a hybrid vehicle.  At the moment we have a simulink model of the engine that captures the dynamic performance, and we also have a model of the PM machine.

We will be laying a power demand on the generator set and I am investigating the different methods that could be used to get the generator set to achieve the desired power demand.  What about this - power control of the engine, with an inner speed control loop, based on engine lookup tables?  Then just let the generator control electronics worry about delivering the power required?

I am wondering if anyone out there can point me to some previous work in this area or could possibly offer some advice from their own experiences.

Thanks in advance,

Russell.
