Re: Controlling load of the generator

Well I do know most of what was proposed here. I admit that I didnt explain myself very well.

Usually when you have a grit tied generator, you have a turbine, a generator then recitifier and lastly a grid tie inverter. Say there is a turbine that is most efficient at just right speed, no matter how much power would it produce. So I want to directly connect a permanent magnet alternator to it and somehow controll the load on the generator, or control the power drain on it. Just as like havning a constant voltage battery where you change the load on it trough changing resistance of the loop.

I think that may be possible trough having two sets of capacitors, so that a generator is only connected to a capacitor and not the grid.

Basically I want to control the power output with load, so that the system would drain as much power from the turbine as it can.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
