2. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.

3. Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Combustion...

   The Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division (CTSD), part of Westinghouse Electric Corporation's [1] Westinghouse Power Generation [2] group, was originally located, along with the Steam Turbine Division (STD), in a major industrial manufacturing complex, referred to as the South Philadelphia Works, in Lester, Pennsylvania near to the Philadelphia International Airport.

4. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   A grid-tie inverter converts direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC) suitable for injecting into an electrical power grid, at the same voltage and frequency of that power grid. Grid-tie inverters are used between local electrical power generators: solar panel , wind turbine , hydro-electric , and the grid.

5. Inverter-based resource - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter-based_resource

   An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]

6. Slip ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

   Formally, it is an electric transmission device that allows energy flow between two electrical rotating parts, such as in a motor. Slip rings on a hydroelectric generator; A - stationary spring-loaded graphite brushes, B - rotating steel contact ring, C - insulated connections to generator field winding, D - top end of generator shaft.

7. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

   Parts: (A) commutator, (B) brush, (C) rotor windings, (D) stator (field) windings, (E) brush guides, (F) electrical connections. A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.

8. 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 ...

9. Synchroscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchroscope

   An example of synchroscope operation on a hydroelectric generator. Synchroscopes are used in any power plant that connects to an outside electrical grid and also in isolated plants containing more than one generator. Each generator must be synchronized with the others before being connected to the plant bus. If line voltages are unequal when ...
