2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

   Thermoelectric generators are primarily used as remote and off-grid power generators for unmanned sites. They are the most reliable power generator in such situations as they do not have moving parts (thus virtually maintenance-free), work day and night, perform under all weather conditions and can work without battery backup.

5. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

   An electrical grid may have many types of generators and loads; generators must be controlled to maintain stable operation of the system. In an electric power system, automatic generation control (AGC) is a system for adjusting the power output of multiple generators at different power plants, in response to changes in the load. Since a power ...

6. Electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

   An induction generator draws reactive power from the connected system and so cannot be an isolated source of power. In a Synchronous generator (alternator), the current for the magnetic field is provided by a DC current source, either separate or rectified from the output of the machine using a full bridge rectifier.

7. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   The generator is able to supply current out of phase with the voltage requiring more external equipment to build a functional isolated power system. Similar is the operation of the induction motor in parallel with a synchronous motor serving as a power factor compensator.
