They bring more flexibility and better efficiency to power production and transportation for distributed/power systems wind and hydro electric generators are prime candidates for variable speed better system design optimisation and sensorless control methodologies are still desired University “Politehnica” of Timisoara 55 of 61 • automotive starter-alternator system for mild (42V d.c.) and heavy (150-600V d.c.) hybrid vehicles have been proposed in various configurations. The IM solution has been brought to markets by Toyota and Honda. Up to 35% fuel consumption reduction in town driving has been reported for Toyota Prius but the additional electrical equipment has been rated at 3000 USD. PM-RSM or transverse flux PM rotor configurations are currently proposed as they are credited with slightly less initial system costs for lower total system losses. University “Politehnica” of Timisoara 56 of 61 PM or induction generators with full (respectively fractionary) power electronics rating are proposed for dedicated stand alone or mobile gensets in the tens or hundreds of kW. Faster availability, lower volume and better energy conversion ratio with faster response for load transients are expected for such solutions. • Superhigh speed PM generators with powers up to 150kW and 75 krpm and for higher powers (up to 5 MW and 15 krpm ) are proposed for distributed power systems, aircraft and small vessel. University “Politehnica” of Timisoara 57 of 61 Home combined electricity and heat production through burning natural gas has been demonstrated with quiet, free piston Stirling engines and linear PM generators for efficiency above 85%, and at the power electric grid for tens of thousands of hours in the kW range. More compact configurations with still high efficiency and lower initial costs are required to make home electricity generation truly practical with all implicit advantages.
