2. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   The plant brings generator sets online and takes them offline depending on the demands of the system at a given time. An islanded power plant intended for a primary power source of an isolated community will often have at least three diesel generators, any two of which are rated to carry the required load. Groups of up to 20 are not uncommon.

3. Aurora Generator Test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_Generator_Test

   The failure of even a single generator could cause widespread outages and possibly cascading failure of the entire power grid as occurred in the Northeast blackout of 2003. Additionally, even if there are no outages from the removal of a single component (N-1 resilience), there is a large window for a second attack or failure as it could take ...

   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.

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

6. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   When the load current exceeds the capability of the generator to supply both magnetization reactive power and load power the generator will immediately cease to produce power. The load must be removed and the induction generator restarted with either an external DC motor or if present, residual magnetism in the core. [2]

7. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia
