Abstract
A scalable power source that includes a controller that is electrically connected to an engine component that generates electrical power and includes a modular connector that electrically connects the controller to plural auxiliary power sources or plural types of auxiliary power sources to provide a selected power output.
Claims20
A power source comprising:
- an engine component adapted to generate electrical power;
- a power controller in communication with the engine component, wherein the power controller receives electrical power from the engine component;
- a housing encompassing the engine component and the power controller;
- an auxiliary power source electrically connected to the power controller by a modular connector, the modular connector including a power connection adapted to transmit electrical power from the auxiliary power supply to the power controller;
- the modular further including an identification assembly adapted to provide identification information from the auxiliary power supply to the power controller, wherein the power controller controls electrical power from engine component and the auxiliary power source to generate a selected electrical current or voltage output.

A power source comprising:
- a controller that is electrically connected to an engine component that generates electrical power;
- a modular connector that electrically connects the controller to an auxiliary power component;
- wherein the controller combines the electrical power from the engine component and the auxiliary power component to provide a selected power output, wherein the selected power output is scalable by connecting at least one of plural types of auxiliary power sources within the auxiliary power component or connecting plural auxiliary power sources together within the auxiliary power component.
A power source comprising:
- an engine component adapted to generate electrical power;
- an auxiliary power source;
- a power controller electrically connected to the engine component and the auxiliary power source, wherein the power controller receives electrical power from at least one of the engine component or the auxiliary power source and controls the electrical power from the engine component or the auxiliary power source to generate a selected electrical current or voltage output;
- a modular connector including a power connection adapted to transmit electrical power from the auxiliary power source to the power controller;
- and
- an identification assembly adapted to provide identification information from the auxiliary power source to the power controller.
