Abstract

The electromechanicai generator is a type of fuelless generator which has attracted ne w research attention recently in applications like improving power quality, ano uninterru ptible power supply (UPS). As a sustainable energy supply alternative, the electromecha nicai generator seeks to provide stable ana clean electricity in the midst of soaring oi a na gas prices, this project work fabricates an affordable energy alternative for power sy stems and micro-gria (MG), providing stable power for homes ana business offices. Th e aim is to improve its value ana enhance its applications in numerous fields such as re newable power generation ano practica demonstration of the dynamics ot electromech anicai systems to students. The electromechanical generator comprises of seria conne ction ot a battery, DC motor ana an a/c generator coil, coupled with other accessories s uch as the drive system, flywheel and capacitor. The machine was also found out to be 66.6% efficient. The machine has the potential ot providing sustainably cheap ano clean renewable energy to improve socio-economic development.
