Abstract:

Research continued on the study of voltage regulation and power stability in Unconventional Electrical Generator systems. Test results are presented which illustrate the control of fuel cell output voltage by varying the velocity of mixtures of inert gas and reactant gas past the APPROPRIATE ELECTRODE. Information is included showing typical dynamic characteristics of thermoelectric and thermionic power sources. Design data giving weight, volume, and efficiency of series regulating switching circuits and dc-dc and dc-ac power transistor voltage converter circuits are presented. Weight versus efficiency characteristics of various combinations of source voltage control and external voltage converters are included. Weight data on minimum weight complete systems incorporating voltage regulation and conversion are presented. A laboratory model system consisting of a fuel cell and a dc-dc voltage converter-regulator is described. Performance test results for this laboratory model system are presented.
