A toroidal AC generator includes an outer casing and an annular stator core of ferromagnetic material which is encased in a hollow annular cover of plastics material and which is fixed to the casing between the discs of a twin disc rotor. Each rotor disc carries a circular array of alternately polarised permanent magnets which face the stator core. The hollow annular cover is a two-part moulding and is formed of radially inner and outer ring portions which are joined by circular arrays of radial ribs which extend across the opposed radial faces of the annular core and form open-ended radial passages for the electrical phase windings which are wound around the cover. The ribs project radially beyond the radially outer ring portion and form hooks around which a winding may be retained temporarily during winding.

A rotor disc assembly 10 for an AC machine includes a rotor disc 20, permanent magnets 30 and a spider 40. The rotor disc 10 has a circumferential lip 22 projecting from a surface thereof. The permanent magnets 30 are positioned in a circular array on the surface of the rotor disc 20, with constant angular pitch, and so as to lie against the lip 22. The spider includes an annular base portion 41, with a plurality of arms 42 projecting radially outwards therefrom. The spider 40 is fixed to the surface of the rotor disc 20 such that each arm 42 is between and abuts a respective juxtaposed pair of the permanent magnets 30. The arms 42 and the members 30 are each provided with cooperating wedge-shaped cross sections such that each arm 42 constrains the respective two permanent magnets 30 both axially and tangentially on the surface of the rotor disc 20.

A rotor disc for an electrical machine is disclosed. The rotor disc comprises a series of magnetisable members arranged in a circumferential series on a surface thereof and against peripheral retaining structure of the disc. The disc also includes a retainer fixable to the surface and arranged for assisting in retaining the members at least axially on the surface when so fixed. The retainer is arranged to abut at least one of a substantially circumferentially and substantially tangentially extending, radially inner part of each member and thereby to provide the axial retention.

A generating set includes an engie driven generator (PGM) having two sets of stator windings (Ga and Gb). A bi-directional AC/DC converter (BCo) has its AC input connected to a junction between the two sets of stator windings (Ga and Gb) and its DC input connected to a number of the generator (PGM) is converted into an intermediate DC link by a convertor (Col) to produce an output for a load Lo. In normal operation of the system, an emf generated in one (Ga) of the sets of stator windings is rectified by the bi-direcitonal converter (BCo) to charge the energy storages (ESI-ESN) whilst the remainder of the generator output is fed through the converter to the load (Lo). In the event of a stepped increase in the load demand, the bi-directional converter (BCo) is operated to feed energy from the storage devices (ESI-ESN) to the stator windings (Ga) of the generator (PGM) to impart a driving torque to the generator rotor to accelerte the rotor to meet the increased load demand. The energy stored in the storages devices (ESI-ESN) could be used to start the engine (EN).

An electric power generating set which automatically varies its speed to match load variations at any time includes an engine driven generator G which provides a positive, Ga and a negative, Gb AC output voltage each of which is rectified by a respective rectifier Re3a, Re3b. Each rectifier Re3a,Re3b has one terminal connected to a common neutral line N. The DC output voltage of each rectifier Re3a, Re3b is boosted in a respective booster circuit which also has one terminal connected to the neutral line N. The combined output of the two booster circuits, Va+Vb is fed to an Inverter IN which converts it to the AC power output of the generating set. A DC load current between the booster circuits and the inverter IN is monitored and used to provide a speed demand feedback signal Srs to the speed control of the engine EN. The inverter IN is controlled so that the voltage and frequency of the AC power output of the generating set are reduced in response to a fall in the intermediate DC voltage Va+Vb that is fed to the inverter IN and which is monitored by a voltage sensor Vsab.

The stator (24) of a permanent magnet axial flux alternator comprises two annular stator components which are each wound with a respective two phase winding arrangement (48). Each of the two phase winding arrangements (48) is wound so that there is no mutual inductance between the windings of each phase. Each phase of the two phase winding arrangements (48) wound on the two stator components has a high internal impedance and is for energising a respective high intensity lamp of a light tower.

An apparatus is described including a hybrid power train having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The apparatus includes a hybrid power system battery pack that is electrically coupled to the electric motor. The apparatus includes an energy securing device that is thermally coupled to the hybrid power system battery pack. The energy securing device selectively removes thermal energy from the hybrid power system battery pack, and secure removed thermal energy. The energy securing device secures the removed thermal energy by storing the energy in a non-thermal for, or by using the energy to accommodate a present energy requirement.
