A preliminary experimental study on a free-piston engine generator prototype (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhu, S., Vijayalakshmi, S., Ngwaka, U., Roy, S., Williams, R., Smallbone, A., & Roskilly, A. P. (2024, September). A preliminary experimental study on a free-piston engine generator prototype. Presented at Energy Proceedings, Niigata, Japan

As an emerging micro- or small-scale energy conversion technology, free-piston engine generator (FPEG) features the advantages of high efficiency, high volumetric power density, and multi-fuel adaptability potential. To solve the issues that the prev... Read More about A preliminary experimental study on a free-piston engine generator prototype.
