An output control device of a generation device including: a rectifier circuit that rectifies an output of an AC generator and applies the output across a battery; an inverter circuit provided between the battery and the generator; inverter control means for controlling the inverter circuit to convert a voltage across the battery into an AC control voltage and apply the voltage to an armature winding of the generator; and phase detection means for detecting a phase of a phase current flowing through the armature winding of the generator as a maximum output current phase, wherein the inverter control means is comprised to control a phase of the AC control voltage so as not to be delayed with respect to the maximum output current phase, and thus prevent a reduction in the output of the generator caused by an excessive delay of the phase of the AC control voltage.

Output control device of generation device

A rotor position determination device for determining a position of a rotor of a rotating electric machine relative to m-phase (m is an integer equal to or more than 2) armature coils, the rotating electric machine including a stator having the m-phase armature coils, and the rotor having a magnetic field, includes: transient current energizing means for performing, for each of the m-phase armature coils, a transient current energizing process for temporarily applying a DC voltage to the armature coil of each phase of the rotating electric machine to pass a transient current through the armature coil of each phase; and rotor position determination means for detecting the transient current passed through each of the m-phase armature coils and determining the position of the rotor relative to the m-phase armature coils from the detected transient currents.
