Abstract
A power supply system includes a regulated power source that has an a synchronous machine, a flywheel with the shaft connected thereto, an electrical generator electrically connected through a switch to the synchronous machine of the regulated power source, an engine having a main shaft coupled to the shaft of the electrical generator, a power supply, and a switch connected between the electrical generator, the power supply and the regulated power source. The switch transfers power from the regulated power source to the electrical generator so as to cause the electrical generator to rotate the shaft in order to rotate the shaft of the engine during engine start-up.
Claims11
A power supply system comprising:
- a regulated power source having a synchronous machine with a flywheel, said flywheel being mounted to a common shaft, said synchronous machine comprising:
- an excitation stator winding;
- an excitation rotor winding cooperative with said excitation stator winding, said excitation winding rotating with a rotation of said common shaft of said regulated power source;
- a main stator winding;
- a main rotor winding cooperative with said main stator winding and rotatable with the rotation of said common shaft of said regulated power source;
- a squirrel cage winding cooperative with said main stator winding and said main rotor winding, said squirrel cage winding being rotatable with the rotation of said common shaft of said regulated power source;
- and
- a rotating rectifier affixed to said common shaft of said regulated power source, said rotating rectifier cooperative with said excitation rotor winding and said main rotor winding, the power supply system further comprising:
- an electrical generator electrically interconnected to said regulated power source, said electrical generator having a shaft therein;
- an engine having a main shaft integral with or coupled to said shaft of said electrical generator;
- a mains power supply;
- and
- a switch connected between said electrical generator and said mains power supply and said regulated power source, said switch transferring power from said regulated power source to said electrical generator so as to cause said electrical generator to rotate said shaft of said electrical generator in order to rotate said main shaft of said engine.
