  2. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

    Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydro-Québec's_electricity...

    The two major and three minor NERC interconnections, and the nine NERC Regional Reliability Councils. 735 kV substation near the Robert-Bourassa generating station. Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system (also known as the Quebec interconnection) is an international electric power transmission system centred in Quebec, Canada.

  4. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    The speed at which the rotor spins in combination with the number of generator poles determines the frequency of the alternating current produced by the generator. All generators on a single synchronous system, for example, the national grid, rotate at sub-multiples of the same speed and so generate electric current at the same frequency. If ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Macintosh_5500

    The Power Macintosh 5500 is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from February 1997 to March 1998. Like the Power Macintosh 5260 and 5400 that preceded it, the 5500 is an all-in-one design, built around a PowerPC 603ev processor operating at 225, 250 or 275 megahertz (MHz).

  6. Generac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generac

    Founded by Robert Kern in 1959, the company soon began producing portable generators for Sears, Roebuck and Co. under the Craftsman brand. During the 1970s, Generac expanded its offerings in the portable and recreational vehicle markets, and in the 1980s the company entered the commercial and industrial markets with its backup power generation systems.

  7. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

    Elementary generator is an example of single-phase generators with two poles. Single-phase generator (also known as single-phase alternator) is an alternating current electrical generator that produces a single, continuously alternating voltage. Single-phase generators can be used to generate power in single-phase electric power systems.

  8. Alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    The DC generator generates a small amount of electricity, just enough to excite the field coils of the connected alternator to generate electricity. A variation of this system is a type of alternator that uses direct current from a battery for initial excitation upon start-up, after which the alternator becomes self-excited.
