Effect of Valve Opening Frequency on the Performance of Free Piston Linear Generator

Combustion is considered as the main method of power generation of the free piston linear generator (FPLG), however other existing method such as expansion of the FPLG using compressed air will also be applicable in generating electricity.In this article, the effect of varying the valve opening freq...
