ELECTRICAL GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

An electrical generation system is disclosed. The electrical generation system includes a motor coupled to a permanent magnet generator and a liquid pump coupled to a liquid source to provide a pressurized stream of liquid that impinges upon a water turbine that is coupled to a second generator. An initial power supply provides the power to start operation after which output from the generators is used to power the motors and liquid pump to sustain operation. Power from the generators is rectified and then converted back to alternating current by a power inverter.

1. An electrical generation system, the system comprising:
a motor having a rotor coupled to drive a permanent magnet generator; a liquid pump coupled to a liquid source to provide a pressurized stream of liquid that impinges upon a water turbine coupled to a second generator; at least two rectifiers, each of the rectifiers coupled to a corresponding one of the permanent magnet generator and the second generator to provide a DC power output; a power inverter coupled to the DC power output of each of the at least two rectifiers to provide an output power supply, and wherein the power inverter is coupled to the motor and the liquid pump for continuous operation of the system; and an initial power supply coupled to any one of the motor and liquid pump to provide initial power until the power inverter can sustain operation of the motor and liquid pump.
