A self-regulating permanent magnet device has a first rotor segment and second rotor segment, each supporting a set of permanent magnets, wherein the position of the second rotor segment relative to the first rotor segment is modified based on the speed of the self-regulating permanent magnet device. By modifying the position of the second rotor segment relative to the first rotor segment, the alignment between their respective sets of permanent magnets, and therefore, the electromotive force (emf) generated in the stator coils is regulated. The position of the second rotor segment is defined by the connection of a torsion spring between the first rotor segment and second rotor segment and a reactionary torque device connected to the second rotor segment. The torsion spring creates a spring force that acts to maintain the alignment between the first rotor segment and the second rotor segment. The reactionary torque device provides reactionary torque that is proportional to the speed of the self-regulating permanent magnet device and opposes the spring force. As the speed of the self-regulating permanent magnet device increases, the reactionary torque causes the second rotor segment to rotate, thereby creating a misalignment between the first rotor segment and second rotor segment.

A permanent magnet generator voltage regulation system controls the output voltage of a permanent magnet generator. The output voltage of the permanent magnet generator is controlled by configuring the electrical connection of the stator coils. A monitoring device monitors the output voltage generated by the PMG, and a controller selectively configures the stator coil configuration based on the monitored output voltage. A switch array having a number of switches is connected to the stator coils, the switches being controlled by the controller to configure the electrical connection of the stator coils. For instance, to maximize output voltage generated by the PMG, the controller causes the switch array to connect the stator coils in series with one another. To reduce the output voltage, the controller causes the switch array to connect at least some of the stator coils in parallel with one another. In this way, the output voltage of the permanent magnet generator can be coarsely controlled.

A fault protection system provides fault protection to a permanent magnet (PM) generator. The fault protection system includes one or more overload and short-circuit protection circuits, an unbalanced protection circuit and a thermal protection circuit. The overload and short-circuit protection circuit detects both overload and short-circuit conditions by monitoring current and voltage generated at a single phase by the PM generator. The unbalanced protection circuit monitors and compares current and voltage generated associated with at least two individual phases to determine unbalanced conditions between the phases. The thermal protection circuit detects a thermal overload condition by monitoring the temperature of the PM generator. If the overload and short circuit protection circuit, the unbalanced protection circuit, or the thermal protection circuit detects a fault signal, a control circuit causes a control device to reduce or prevent mechanical power from being supplied to the PM generator, preventing the PM generator from generating power and protecting it from damage.

摘要:
A power generating system provides high voltage AC power and low voltage DC power using a single generator. The generator includes a rotor and a stator that is wound with a first winding and a second winding. The first winding has a greater number of turns than the second winding and generates high voltage AC power in response to the rotating magnetic field created by the rotor. The second winding generates low voltage AC power in response to the rotating magnetic field created by the rotor. The low voltage AC power is converted to low voltage DC power by a rectifier. The low voltage DC power is further controlled by a DC-DC converter to generate controlled DC power. A controller monitors the DC power generated by the DC-DC converter, and generates pulse width modulation signals that are provided to the DC-DC converter, selectively increasing or decreasing the controlled DC power provided by the DC-DC converter.
