The electrical group develop and build all the devices that form the “conversion system”, starting from the generator and finishing with a Li battery pack. In particular we build the inverter unit, a device that manage the conversion between the three-fase output of the generator and the DC voltage of the battery pack. The electronic engineers of the team write the firmware for the MCU that controls the power flow through the boar.
The battery pack is made up of 120 lithium cells, each one capable to manage 2.5 Amps and have a nominal voltage of 3.7V, starting with a total capacity of 40 Ah. The energy engineers of our division, thanks to Matlab simulation, talk with mechanical division to make sure that the case of the battery pack ensure the properly ventilation, avoiding overheating phenomenon between single cells.
Our test bench is designed to simulate the real operating conditions of a three-phase synchronous electric generator, the main component of our analysis. Thanks to the mechanical connection via pulleys and belt with an electric motor, the system allows us to replicate the generator’s operating dynamics in the laboratory, collecting essential data to evaluate its performance and characteristics. The motor regulation through an inverter also ensures precise control over the test conditions, providing accurate and relevant results.
