  • Publication number: 20240186925
    Abstract: A voltage regulator for a generator having a dynamic voltage-to-frequency (V/F) ratio is disclosed. The voltage regulator may include 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.

  • Publication number: 20070157904
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the fuel pressure in the fuel feed circuit (7) of a fuel injection internal combustion engine (2), which includes at least one cylinder (2) and one exhaust line (6) for the combustion gases, characterized in that the device includes elements (8) for generating a value for measuring the fuel/air ratio of the exhaust gases in the exhaust line (6), elements (9) for generating a value for measuring the fresh air flow rate into the cylinder (2), elements (10) determining the mechanical opening time of the injector (4), and computation elements (1) for determining a reconstituted fuel pressure value from the value for measuring the fuel/air ratio of the exhaust gases, from the value for measuring the fresh air flow rate and from the mechanical opening time of the injector.
