Patent number: 9739216Abstract: The invention concerns a method for regulating the injection of fuel into a heat engine of a generator set including an alternator driven by the heat engine, the alternator including a voltage regulator, the heat engine including a speed regulator having an inlet that can receive an external speed setpoint, the method including the following steps: detecting a variation in torque and kinetic energy from electrical measurements on the alternator, carrying out an action on the input of the setpoint of the voltage regulator and/or the speed regulator, on the basis of the magnitude of the variation in torque relative to the kinetic energy level.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: MOTEURS LEROY-SOMERInventors: Jean-Marie Andrejak, Samuel Moser, Patrice Betge

Patent number: 9595901Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the output voltage of the alternator of a generator set, said generator set including a heat engine driving the alternator, the alternator including a rotor having a pole wheel. Said method includes the following step: detection of an increase in the power at the outlet of the alternator, and in the event of a detected increase, the value of the current in the polar wheel is modified in such a way as to temporarily bring the output voltage of the alternator to a value lower than the value before the detection of the increase in power, with the aim of decreasing the level of torque required from the heat engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: MOTEURS LEROY-SOMERInventors: Jean-Marie Andrejak, Samuel Moser, Patrice Betge

Publication number: 20160329847Abstract: A system for controlling and regulating a generating set including an alternator that is mechanically coupled to a drive motor, the alternator including a terminal box borne by a casing and containing electric connections connected to the windings of the alternator. The system includes a controller part for controlling the motor of the generating set and a regulator part for regulating an output voltage of the alternator, the voltage regulator part being positioned outside the terminal box and solidly connected to the controller part of the set.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Applicant: MOTEURS LEROY-SOMERInventors: Emile MOUNI, Samuel MOSER, Patrice BETGE, Vincent MORISSEAU

Patent number: 9154068Abstract: A method for regulating the output voltage of the alternator of a generator set, the generator set including a heat engine driving the alternator and the alternator including a rotor having a pole wheel. The method includes the following step: modifying the current in the pole wheel, at least during an increase in the load at the outlet of the alternator, in such a way as to bring the output voltage of the alternator to a value lower than the value before the increase in the load, the modification of the current in the pole wheel depending on the deceleration of the heat engine.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: MOTEURS LEROY-SOMERInventors: Jean-Marie Andrejak, Samuel Moser, Patrice Betge
