Results for tag: "Synchronous Generator"

A synchronous generator is a type of generator used to produce electrical power. It works by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy using a rotating magnetic field. Synchronous generators are typically used in large-scale power generation applications, such as power plants and industrial facilities. They are also used in smaller applications, such as wind turbines and hydroelectric plants. Synchronous generators are typically powered by steam turbines, gas turbines, or diesel engines. They are designed to operate at a constant speed, and are capable of producing a steady output of electricity. Synchronous generators are also capable of providing reactive power, which is used to regulate the voltage and frequency of the electrical grid. The synchronous generator market is highly competitive, with a number of manufacturers offering a wide range of products. Major players in the market include Siemens, ABB, General Electric, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Other notable companies include Caterpillar, Cummins, and Wartsila. Show Less Read more
