Abstract

This paper describes some experience gained with a construction of an experimental testing stand for micro turbine power generation with high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor and its control. The main goal of this research is to create an affordable small (order of kW) power supply preferably for combined electrical energy and heat production, that could be used in households, portable power generators etc. This approach promises lower fuel consumption, lower emissions and better efficiencies that classical piston based portable power generators. The presented test stand parameters are 40000 RPM, torque 7Nm.
