An alternator having a sensorless power angle control includes a three phase stator winding and three stator winding outputs connected to a controlled full wave rectifier bridge with a dc output. The controlled full wave rectifier bridge includes upper MOSFET switches and lower MOSFET switches with body diodes. Operation of the alternator results in a three phase back EMF generated in the stator windings and phase voltages across each of the stator windings. The output of the alternator is increased by introducing a phase shift between the back EMF and the phase voltages, resulting in an optimized power angle. In order to provide a reference for the phase of the back EMF, a zero crossing detector is provided which monitors the zero voltage crossings across the body diodes of the lower MOSFET switches. The negative to positive zero voltage crossings across the body diodes of the lower MOSFET devices correspond to the negative to positive zero crossings of the three phase back EMF. With an indication of the zero crossings of the back EMF, the MOSFET switches of the controlled full wave rectifier bridge may be controlled to introduce a desired phase delay in each of the phase voltages. A phase delay between the back EMF and each of the phase voltages results in an optimized power angle and increased alternator output.
