Charging System: definition
• Electric components and circuits that act as electrical power
source in a vehicle
• the term “charging system” is preferred in the mechanical/automotive
domain, against “power source” (used in the electrical engineering
domain), to distinguish from “engine/mechanical power”
• Combines two primary energy sources
• chemical energy (from the battery)
• supplies electrical energy when engine is off, cranking and
whenever the alternator does not cope with the load
• mechanical energy (from the engine and from the vehicle’s
kinetic energy, in electric/hybrid vehicles)
• enables to generate electrical energy when the engine is
running, through a generator (dynamo or alternator)

• Main requirements
• cope with the electrical power demand from all electrical/electronic
systems in the vehicle, in all operating conditions (RPM,
temperature, different number of electrical loads)
• mind the different types of electrical loads:
• guarantee a stabilized voltage, in all operating conditions
• reliable, light-weight, silent, low-cost
• energy-efficient (SOTA 80%)

Charging System: requirements
• Load types according to duty-cycle
• Continuous-operation electric loads
• always on
• e.g. fuel pump, fuel injectors, ignition, ECUs
• Prolonged-operation electric loads
• turned on for long periods
• e.g. head/tail lights, Multimedia, HVAC, radiator fan
• Sporadic-operation electric loads
• Turned on for short periods
• e.g. starter motor, power windows/roof/locks, wipers/washers, horn,
windows/mirrors defoggers, ABS/TCS/ESP, pre-heating systems
• These statistical properties must be accounted for
• dimensioning the battery/alternator (based on average power)

• Diode types
• “Phase” diodes – full wave rectification of the 3 phases
• 6 power diodes (minimum configuration)
• 3 + and 3 – power diodes (2 diodes per phase)
• for electrical power-hungry vehicles, each phase has 4 diodes
• “Neutral” diodes – full-wave rectification of the neutral
• 2 diodes connected to the neutral point (only for Y wiring)
• induced third harmonic voltage increases output current/power
at high RPMs (> 2000-3000) 5-10% extra output power
• can be used for B+ or to feed the regulator/field coil
• “Field” diodes (AKA as excitation diodes or diode trio)
• 3 diodes (connected to the phases) feed the field coil
• half-wave rectification (it is sufficient for the field coil)

• ECU-controlled regulator (alternator switch-off and ISC)
• Alternator switch-off when cranking the engine
• when the engine is started, the alternator is deactivated by
the PCM to reduce the engine drag torque
• the alternator is only switched on to the required value by
the PCM after the engine has been started up
• Engine idle speed control (ISC), depending on electrical load
demand and system voltage
• the PCM can increase the charge current by changing the
pulse-width modulated signal to the alternator
• when the electrical load (in idling) is very high
• when the vehicle electric system voltage is very low

Technology trends
• Overrunning Alternator Decoupler (OADs) pulley • helps "synchronize" the belt drive system for improved engine
efficiency, reduced noise and vibration and increased lifetime
• when RPM increases, the alternator's inertia creates resistance against the belt (alternator typically rotates 3x faster than engine)
• these factors often cause "rope-tow effect" in which belt and alternator speeds are out of phase; belt tensioners can absorb some of the resulting vibration, but the belt is affected by these forces
• an OAD pulley has an internal spring and clutch system that absorbs the force associated with belt accelerations and tension reversals and permits the alternator to "free-wheel" or "overrun" when the belt suddenly decelerates.

Technology trends
• Intelligent Alternator Control with regenerative braking
• generates electric power during
• overrun (drive phases in which the engine is not required to deliver
drive power)
• Braking (while the driver is applying the brakes)
• battery is charged to only about 80% of its capacity as long as the engine is
propelling the car
• battery charge exceeding the 80% threshold is generated only in overrun and
braking
• Advantages
• less fuel consumption (≈ 3%)
• more available (engine) power during acceleration (alternator is
disconnected whenever the engine is propelling the car)
