Experimental micro-turbine power generator

This paper presents a design of an experimental micro-turbine power generator for combined electrical energy and heat production. The generator is composed of an automotive turbocharger and a high speed permanent magnet synchronous motor. The generator parameters are 40 000 RPM, torque 7 Nm. The control system is presented as well as the control algorithm. Some test results obtained during initial workbench testing with unloaded motor are shown.
