Jan Leuchter - Otakar Kůrka - Pavol Bauer - Vladimír Řeřucha

   This paper brings some practical results of research devoted to the new generation of mobile electrical power sources based on the VSCF technology (Variable Speed - Constant Frequency). In this generation of mobile electrical power sources the driving motor and generator speeds are optimally controlled in accordance with the load power thus decreasing the fuel consumption. The output voltage and frequency are stabilized by means of an electronic power converter.

Keywords: power generating sets, power converter, optimal control speed of diesel engine
