2. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

   A generator interlock kit (or a transfer switch), eliminates the need for extension cords to power appliances. [2]Like a transfer switch, an interlock kit lets the generator energize the panel and all of its circuits (up to the load capacity of the generator); not just corded appliances.

3. Load bank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

   A resistive load bank, therefore, removes energy from the complete system: load bank from generator—generator from prime mover—prime mover from fuel. Additional energy is removed as a consequence of resistive load bank operation: waste heat from coolant, exhaust and generator losses and energy consumed by accessory devices. A resistive load ...

4. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed.For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz.

6. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   There are three basic elements to the system - the power source, the battery, and the power management center. Sources for hybrid power include wind turbines, diesel engine generators, thermoelectric generators and solar PV systems. The battery allows autonomous operation by compensating for the difference between power production and use.

7. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

   Worldwide, most electric power is produced by steam–electric power plants. [1] The only widely used alternatives are photovoltaics , direct mechanical power conversion as found in hydroelectric and wind turbine power as well as some more exotic applications like tidal power or wave power and finally some forms of geothermal power plants.
