Abstract

For the moment, the lead-acid battery is usually used as the startup power source of diesel generator sets, but in some alpine regions, the discharge capacity of the battery is obviously decreased, which affects the normal start of the diesel engine. In order to solve this problem, a new type of startup power source for diesel generator sets was designed by employing super capacitor modules. In this paper, the authors analyzed the capacitor configuration and voltage equalizing of the super capacitors, the design of the bidirectional converter, the control strategy of the whole startup power source, and other key questions. Therefore, the analysis above lays the foundation of the engineering practice for adopting supercapacitor as startup power source of diesel generator sets.
