This generator is a new simplified design version of an alternator with DC stator excitation that was published by the authors in the SAE 2003 and SAE 2004 World Congresses. [7, 8] In automotive applications, this type of electrical machine may be useful for regular cars, hybrid and fuel cell electrical vehicles with an electrical power source system of 12 VDC, 24, and higher. Brushless car alternators with DC stator excitation have less rotor inertia because the excitation windings are located in the stator. Smaller rotor inertia eliminates drive belt slippage. This generator is more reliable in view of the absence of contact rings and graphite brushes in a rotor circuit, which exist in a standard claw-pole alternator [9]. The laminated salient pole rotor of the alternator is very simple in construction and has low cost of production. The two-phase alternator is simpler than the three-phase, as it has only two output windings instead of three.

The use of alternating current machines of a simple construction with the squirrel cage rotor or the soft iron salient pole rotor as a car generator allows to increase a reliability of a generator and the maximum rotor rotation frequency as well in comparison with synchronous machines. The main feature of a car generator operation is a wide range of a rotation frequency change (five or six times). The use of alternating current machines aforementioned with the capacitor excitation is impossible, because it requires a capacitance value change in a wide range. In the paper presented the rotor excitation by passing current impulses through the stator winding over necessary periods of time is considered. The possibility of such an excitation is confirmed by the experiment. The single-phase generator with external rotor excitation is analysed on the basis of a digital model.

The main feature of the described sensor is its contact-less construction. The lack of contacts on the moving rod increases reliability of the sensor. The sensor comprises the core with the short - circuited two - layer secondary winding. In addition, the sensor is provided with the two multilayer windings, the first being the long primary winding, the second one is the short output winding. The output signal is induced on the output winding. In order to produce the output signal, the alternating voltage with frequency of 20…50 kHz is applied to the primary coil. Depending upon the core position of the short-circuited winding, the current of various values will be induced, which causes various voltages to be induced on the output winding. The position of the core may vary in range 0...40 mm. The range can be modified in a particular construction. The output characteristics of the sensor are roughly linear.

The reliability, efficiency and ecological parameters of diesels are mainly determined by their operational perfomance in unstable conditions when the air supply to cylinders lags as compared to the fuel supply. Hereat, the excess air coefficient decreases, which results in decreasing the fuel consumption efficiency as well as the exhaust gas smoke. The aforesaidnecessitates the adjustment of the fuel feed depending upon the amount of the air supplied into cylinders. The modelling of the diesel controller system for the rotation frequency regarding the adjustment of the fuel feed depending upon the supercharging pressure is considered. The mathematical model of the diesel is based on calculating the gas - dynamic processes in each cycle of the cylinder operation, which makes it possibleto take into account the nonlinear characteristics of the diesel in different operational conditions as well as the discreteness of the fuel injection.
