  • Patent number: 11942891
    Abstract: A voltage regulator for a generator having a dynamic voltage-to-frequency (V/F) ratio includes a memory, a voltage calculator, and a selection module. The memory is configured to store a plurality of voltage-frequency curves for the generator. The voltage calculator is configured to receive data indicative of an output of the generator and configured to determine a resistance value from the output of the generator and a voltage value from the output of the generator. The selection module configured to select a voltage-frequency curve from the plurality of voltage-frequency curves in response to the resistance value and configured to select a voltage-frequency ratio from the selected voltage-frequency curve in response to the voltage value. An output adjustment for the generator is determined in response to the selected voltage-frequency ratio.
