Abstract
An electric power generation system and method that permits enhanced power generation efficiency when applied to rotating electric power generation systems is disclosed. The system may be broadly described as generally improving energy generation efficiency by improving the efficiency of electric current extraction from stator coils in many alternator-based electric power generation systems. The system disclosed comprises a number of preferred embodiments, some of which utilize buck-boost converter technologies in conjunction with super-diode excitation/rectification to minimize IR power losses within rotating power generation system components while at the same time reducing heat losses and thus increasing overall rectification circuitry system reliability. The method disclosed generally monitors the position of rotating field coil(s) within a stator coil(s) assembly and excites these coil(s) depending on the desired/demand output power level of the power generation system and the detected position of the field coil(s) in relation to the stator coil(s).
