Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a generator system (100) for connection to a vehicle axle (102). The generator system comprises: an electrically-actuated clutch (104) having an engaged position and a disengaged position; a generator (106) and a processor (108). The generator (106) comprises: a rotor (106a) configured to be selectively connected, via the clutch, to the vehicle axle; and a stator (106b). In the engaged position, the rotor is connected to the vehicle axle via the clutch such that torque from the vehicle axle is transmitted to the rotor. In the disengaged position, torque from the vehicle axle is not transmitted to the rotor. The processor (108) is configured to control the clutch to actuate between the engaged and disengaged positions, and the processor is configured to monitor an electrical output of the generator, wherein the processor is configured to command the clutch to move to the disengaged position if the electrical output moves outside a predetermined range. A method (400) of controlling a generator system (100) is also disclosed.
