Abstract

A linear generator driven by hydrogen (or other kind of fuel) combustion engine requires special consideration for starting because of its none-conventional way of operation. This study investigates the possibility of replacing mechanical (hydraulic) start-up with electrical motoring. Simulation study based on 1 kW prototype system shows that the mover position of a linear generator can be controlled with a proper current control of power converter.
