This paper presents a new scheme for the efficient generation of high electric power demanded for future automobiles. The new system consists of a permanent-magnet (PM) alternator having high-energy MAGNEQUENCH (MQ) magnets and split winding and a novel electronic voltage regulation scheme. A proof-of-concept system, capable of providing 100/250 A (idle/cruising) at 14 V, has been built and tested in the laboratory with encouraging results. This high output is provided at 15-20 percentage points higher efficiencies than conventional automotive alternators, which translates into considerable fuel economy savings. The system is 8 dB quieter and has a rotor inertia of only 2/3 that of an equivalent production alternator, thus allowing for a belt drive without excessive slippage.
