2. 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]

3. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

   An example of using single-phase in a special case was implemented in 1902 at St. Louis Municipal Electric Power Plant. A 20 kW single-phase generator was direct-connected to a Pelton water wheel to generate electricity enough to power light loads.

4. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used, and there are even hybrid diesel-gas units, called dual-fuel units.

5. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   In addition to the engine and generator, engine–generators generally include a fuel supply, a constant engine speed regulator (governor) in diesel and a generator voltage regulator, cooling and exhaust systems, and lubrication system. Units larger than about 1 kW rating often have a battery and electric starter motor; very large units may ...

6. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

   In electrical engineering, single-phase electric power (abbreviated 1φ) is the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.

7. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

   The cycloconverter can feed power in both directions and thus the machine can be run both sub- and oversynchronous speeds. Large cycloconverter-controlled, doubly fed machines have been used to run single phase generators feeding 16 + 2 ⁄ 3 Hz railway grid in Europe. [10]

8. Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_rotary...

   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 .

9. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor–generator

   These are motor/generators rather than motor–generators, single units which can act as either a motor or a generator. They make the cars more fuel-efficient by harvesting energy from regenerative braking and from the turbocharger, and can also be used to provide up to 160 BHP extra to the wheels to aid acceleration and overtaking, or to spin ...
