Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Exhaust Gas Driven Turbine Powered Generator

Abstract

ABSTRACT The design and simulation of an exhaust gas‐driven turbine‐powered generator (EGDTPG) are the main topics of this study. The engine's exhaust gases, which are normally released into the atmosphere, are converted into energy by the EGDTPG. A turbine that is attached to a generator by a shaft is powered by this energy. The system's architecture, mathematical modeling, and creation of a MATLAB/Simulink simulation model are all included in the research study. The main goal is to reduce the engine's power usage by using the EGDTPG to create electrical power to support the vehicle's electrical systems. Through simulations at several engine speeds—low (700 rpm), middle (1500, 2000, and 2800 rpm), and maximum (3600 rpm)—the system's performance is assessed both theoretically and numerically. Both normally aspirated and turbocharged engines are included in the analysis. With a maximum output of 21.04 kW, the EGDTPG in naturally aspirated engines generates greater power than turbocharged engines, which only produce 12.12 kW, according to the data. Overall, the study highlights the potential usefulness of the EGDTPG by showing that it can produce enough power to run a vehicle's electrical systems.
