SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MULTIPLE VOLTAGE BUSES ON A SINGLE VEHICLE

摘要

A system provides multiple voltage buses on a single vehicle having a combustion engine. The system includes at least one turbine disposed in flow communication with an exhaust flow of the combustion engine productive of exhaust gases; at least one generator operably connected to a respective one of the at least one turbine to produce respective AC electrical power in response to operation of the at least one turbine; a first inverter operably connected to the at least one generator to produce first electrical power in response to a presence of the respective AC electrical power; and a second inverter operably connected to the at least one generator to produce second electrical power in response to a presence of the respective AC electrical power. The first electrical power and the second electrical power have different voltages.
