  • Publication number: 20230079063
    Abstract: The present disclosure comprises a controller for controlling an electrical power supply system, the electrical power supply system comprising a generator for generating electrical energy and an engine for driving the generator, wherein the controller comprises a first control mode in which the generator is feedback-controlled on the basis a difference between an output voltage produced by the generator and a target voltage. The controller further comprises at least a second control mode in which the generator is feedback-controlled on the basis of engine speed and/or independently of output voltage.
