2. 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 ...

3. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   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]

4. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

   The operation of the system is extremely quiet. A hybrid vehicle drivetrain uses electrical retardation to assist the mechanical brakes, while recycling the energy. The electric traction motor acts as a generator to charge the battery. The power stored in the battery is available to help the vehicle accelerate.

5. Superconducting electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_electric...

   Because they are light-weight and therefore offer lower tower and construction costs they are seen as a promising generator technology for wind turbines. With super conducting generators the weight and volume of generators could be reduced compared to direct drive synchronous generators, which could lead to lower costs of the whole turbine. [ 2 ]

6. Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_linear_generator

   The free-piston linear generator (FPLG) uses chemical energy from fuel to drive magnets through a stator and converts this linear motion into electric energy. Because of its versatility, low weight and high efficiency, it can be used in a wide range of applications, although it is of special interest to the mobility industry as range extenders for electric vehicles.
