2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   The generator is represented by an abstract generator consisting of an ideal voltage source and an internal impedance. The generator's V G {\displaystyle V_{\text{G}}} and R G {\displaystyle R_{\text{G}}} parameters can be determined by measuring the winding resistance (corrected to operating temperature ), and measuring the open-circuit and ...

3. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   The rotary converter can be thought of as a motor-generator, where the two machines share a single rotating armature and set of field coils. The basic construction of the rotary converter consists of a DC generator (dynamo) with a set of slip rings tapped into its rotor windings at evenly spaced intervals. When a dynamo is spun the electric ...

4. Linear alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_alternator

   A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. An alternator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator. The devices are often physically equivalent. The principal difference is in how they are used and which direction the energy flows.

5. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

6. 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.

7. Standby generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]
