Hi,
I'm thinking that if you can find the performance graphs for a given
alternator for an aircraft, especially those with rpm vs output
(whether voltage or current) and then put the values into an XML file,
it might do the trick for you. You could then use Kirchoff's laws to
sum the input from
Just some general info that may or may not be useful.
General aviation batteries : Typically lead acid
Commercial and military : Typically Ni-Cad (nickel cadmium)
Alternators are far more efficient at *low* RPM than generators but are still
terrible energy converters (unless you really need

I need to do some work beefing up our electrical system model a bit.
I'd like to add a simple model for a battery where output varies with
time and a simple alternator model where output varies with rpm. I'm a
