DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC CURRENT

摘要

The invention relates to a device for generating electric current for an AC network (1) by means of two or more mutually cooperating electricity generating units (3a, 3b), each of which comprises a generator (7a, 7b), a combustion engine (6a, 6b) and an engine control unit (5a, 5b). A first engine control unit (5a) is arranged to transmit to a second engine control unit (5b) information concerning the speed and angular position of a first combustion engine (6a). Said second engine control unit (5b) is arranged to regulate the speed and angular position of the associated combustion engine (6b) on the basis of said information so that the associated generator (7b) is synchronised with the generator (7a) belonging to the first combustion engine (6a). The invention also relates to a method for control of a device (2) intended for generating electric current for an AC network (1).
