Hygen is an adjustable‑speed, load‑adaptive electricity generating system that can combine one or more energy sources such as an engine‑generator unit, energy storage, and power electronics. The system integrates a medium‑frequency permanent magnet alternator into a diesel engine, uses a variable‑ratio boost rectifier to convert the generator’s variable voltage/frequency, and employs a microprocessor‑controlled power electronic converter to regulate the output. This integrated configuration delivers a compact and efficient energy‑delivery subsystem with multiple benefits.
Hygen is an adjustable-speed load-adaptive electricity generating system comprising one or more energy sources, e.g. an engine-generator unit, an energy storage means and a power electronic converter system with microprocessor control. A medium frequency permanent magnet alternator is integrated into a diesel engine to form a compact generator unit. A variable-ratio boost rectifier converts the variable voltage/frequency of the generator unit and regulates the output as required by the converter system. This combination provides a compact and efficient energy delivery sub-system with many benefits.
