Abstract

The invention relates to a cascade activation method and mechatronic system for simultaneous generation and consumption. The system includes a non-return diode connected to an electric generator; a first voltage regulator connected to a microcontroller; a voltage converter; and an actuator, which has an activation voltage greater than the first activation voltage of the first voltage regulator. The actuator is configured to simultaneously consume a portion of the electrical energy generated by the electric generator. The method includes the steps of listing the elements of the mechatronic system that require power; calculating the activation sequence of the elements based on the minimum activation voltage and the activation time interval; selecting the electric generator based on the energy/power that needs to be provided to the mechatronic system; and programming the microcontroller with the activation sequence.
