Abstract
A linear generator driven by a hydrogen combustion engine has been developed. Unlike rotary engine-generator systems, the linear counterpart is inherently unable to start by itself unless external force is provided for initial compression/ignition cycle. When the generator is connected to utility power lines through a bidirectional power conversion system, however, the self start-up can be done by driving the generator as a motor. This paper introduces a prototype 1kW linear hydrogen engine-generator system being developed and shows the self start-up is possible with proper motoring mode.
