Abstract
When a distortion of an output waveform of an alternating-current generator is improved, an output voltage control apparatus of a generator, which has versatility, is obtained. An output voltage control apparatus of a generator (), including a generator winding () and an excitation winding () wound around a stator side, a field winding () wound around a rotor (), and a rectifier () for rectifying a current generated by the excitation winding () and supplying the rectified current to the field winding (), the output voltage control apparatus includes a field current drive means () for comparing an output voltage generated to the generator winding () with a reference wave whose distortion ratio is 0% and flowing a field current to the field winding () by adjusting a drive timing of a PWM signal output by a drive unit () based on a result of the comparison.
