Hi Everyone,
I am working on generator and interface circuit to generator to be used to charge up battery. I use multisim to simulate the circuit before actually building it. However, I have difficulty to simulate generator loading effect. For example,
electrical power generator (powered by wind or water) is delivering power such and such under no load conditions. When I attach a circuit, say voltage doubler or trippler , it creates a load on generator which makes it harder to generate power and so voltage or power generated is less than under no load. Note that when I attach bridge, it has no loading effect. I would like to know how to simulate that mechanical loading effect on electrical power generator using ordinary circuit components in multisim (for example capacitor, resistor, current source etc). I am attempting to use that to charge a 9v battery. Another interesting observation I made that when attaching generator to battery using diode to block battery source, the voltage on the generator drops (to a battery level) and increases the load to a point that generator stops because load exceeds the mechanical power available. My mechanical power source is of small value equivalent of small solar power cell.
Thank you for your time.
