Abstract
The invention provides a device for producing electricity intended in particular to be stowed on board a vehicle or a container, including a three-phase alternator able to be driven in rotation at a variable speed by a thermal engine, a rectifier for generating a rectified current form the current delivered by the alternator and a voltage-booster chopper using the self-inductance of the alternator to step up the voltage. The alternator includes six or eight poles and operates with a switching frequency of preferably between 3 and 15 kHz.
