  2. APR-1400 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APR-1400

    The first commercial APR-1400 reactors at Shin Kori were approved in September 2007, [12] with construction starting in October 2008 (Unit 3) and August 2009 (Unit 4). [3] [13] [14] Shin Kori-3 was initially scheduled to commence operation by the end of 2013, but the schedules for both Units 3 & 4 were delayed by approximately one year to replace safety-related control cabling, which had ...

  3. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Due to high cost of a generator, a set of sensors and limiters will trigger the alarm when the generator approaches the capability-set boundary and, if no action is taken by the operator, will disconnect the generator from the grid. [3] D-curve expands with cooling. The D-curve for a particular generator can be expanded by improved cooling.

  4. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    The rotor of a turbo generator is a non-salient pole type usually with two poles. [5] The normal speed of a turbo generator is 1500 or 3000 rpm with four or two poles at 50 Hz (1800 or 3600 rpm with four or two poles at 60 Hz). The rotating parts of a turbo generator are subjected to high mechanical stresses because of the high operation speed.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Hydrogen-cooled turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hydrogen-cooled_turbo_generator

    A 500 MW Siemens multi stage steam turbine with generator set (rear, red) A hydrogen-cooled turbo generator is a turbo generator with gaseous hydrogen as a coolant . Hydrogen-cooled turbo generators are designed to provide a low- drag atmosphere and cooling for single-shaft and combined-cycle applications in combination with steam turbines . [ 1 ]

  7. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

    An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator. An engine–generator ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_station

    The generator room of the Krka hydroelectric plant (1895), with one of the first polyphase AC distribution systems in the world [4] AC systems used a wide range of frequencies depending on the type of load; lighting load using higher frequencies, and traction systems and heavy motor load systems preferring lower frequencies. The economics of ...
