System and Method for Controlling an Output of an Auxiliary Power Source of a Diesel Powered System
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a power output of an alternator of a diesel powered system having at least one diesel-fueled power generating unit, the alternator powering at least one dynamoelectric device of the diesel powered system, the system for controlling the power output comprising:
- an alternator coupled to a diesel-fueled power generating unit of a diesel powered system having a wound rotor for supplying electrical power to at least one dynamoelectric device of the diesel powered system;
a controller for determining a desired operating frequency of the dynamoelectric device and providing a control signal for producing the desired operating frequency; and
a regulator for providing a rotor control output responsive to the control signal to control an electrical condition of the rotor for adjusting the electrical power supplied to the dynamoelectric device effective to produce the desired operating frequency.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling a power output of an auxiliary alternator of a diesel powered system having at least one diesel-fueled power generating unit, the alternator powering at least one dynamoelectric device of the diesel powered system. The system includes an alternator coupled to the diesel-fueled power generating unit having a wound rotor for supplying electrical power to at least one dynamoelectric device of the diesel powered system. The system also includes a controller for determining a desired operating frequency of the dynamoelectric device and providing a control signal for producing the desired operating frequency. The system further includes a regulator for providing a rotor control output responsive to the control signal to control an electrical condition of the rotor for adjusting the electrical power supplied to the dynamoelectric device effective to produce the desired operating frequency.
