Re: [Electric Boats] ME0913 as generator?

 

Ok, just curious....

My very cursory understanding is that the 0913 is a 3 phase electric "motor".  
How does one go about running it in "generator" mode?  Is there enough of a permanent magnet in it so that it's "self-excited"?
I'm guessing you get 3 phase AC out of it if you spin the thing.  How do you rectify, then filter, then regulate it so that you can charge batteries?

The 0913 works great as a generator.

additional explanation....

not so interested in a pass through type situation where the diesel recharges the batteries as a by product of boat propulsion with a clutch or some such device directly connecting the diesel to the drive shaft but rather i'd like to have a completely separate system where the diesel ONLY turns an ME0913 to generate power which may in turn be used to power house load, recharge batteries or directly power the propulsion ME0913.....  I realize that there is an efficiency loss by going diesel to gen to electric motor but i am willing to  live with that

could someone please speak to the thought of utilizing an ME0913 attached to an engine as a  generator....  these are fairly inexpensive yet powerful engines and doing so would allow a single motor to serve as a spare for both the electric propulsion system and the genset which charges the batteries
