Hi,

I am making a Simulink model for the drive cycle of a hybrid bus. My bus is using a gas turbine engine to power a generator which then charges the batteries.

I have a motor model which I have attached a screenshot of, and I know I can use this as a generator also. I just have no idea how to do this, or what I need to change. My gas turbine will have a certain RPM and a certain power (kW) and then the generator will give me a voltage to recharge my batteries with.

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers

Alex

I suggest a BLDC motor with controller for this project. Some of them can run as motors or generators. You can program it using the controller for suitable RPM, and power delivery.

Research BlDC motor/generator.

You also need to research the battery's requirements for charging. You don't say what the battery chemistry is. The best source of general battery information is here:
