Where a diesel-electric locomotive is equipped for dynamic braking, the braking resistor may be used as a load bank for testing the engine-generator set. On electric railways , old electric locomotives no longer required for regular service sometimes get converted into mobile load banks for testing the overhead line equipment and power ...
Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply devices (DRUPS) combine the functionality of a battery-powered or flywheel-powered UPS and a diesel generator. When mains electricity supply is within specification, an electrical generator with a mass functions as motor to store kinetic energy in an electro-mechanical flywheel .
A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]
The Frank A. Tracy Generating Station is a 12 unit 1,021-megawatt (1,369,000 hp) gas-fired power station located in Storey County, Nevada and owned by NV Energy, serving Reno and the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. Some peaking capacity is provided by diesel powered units. [1]
Some parts of the generator landed as far as 80 feet away from the generator. [7] In addition to the massive and obvious mechanical damage to the diesel engine itself, evidence of overheating of the alternator was later observed (upon subsequent disassembly of the unit). [3] In this attack, the generator unit was destroyed in roughly three minutes.
A massive power outage blanketed most of Puerto Rico early Tuesday, leaving more than 1.2 million people without electricity. Here's what to know about the blackout and Luma Energy, which handles ...
Whether you have a big yard or a small deck, string lights can add charm and sparkle to your space. This 25-foot string is heavy-duty, dimmable, weatherproof, and shatterproof.
A black start is the process of restoring an electric power station, a part of an electric grid or an industrial plant, to operation without relying on the external electric power transmission network to recover from a total or partial shutdown. [1] Power to restart a generating station or plant may come from an on-site black start standby ...
