Synchronous generators are essential parts of power generation systems, and as the need for renewable energy sources has grown, so has the demand for synchronous generators. Enhancing the ...

The loss of excitation (LOE) in synchronous generators represents a critical fault condition that can lead to severe operational disruptions and damage within power systems. Under normal conditions, ...

A group of researchers in Australia has outlined a new methodology to determine the minimum power rating of energy storage systems (ESSs) used for emergency under-frequency response. The ESS size must ...

The wound‐rotor synchronous starter/generator (WRSSG) system has evolved as a critical component in high‐performance electrical drives, particularly in aeronautical applications where reliability, ...

As we move away from large power plants with massive rotating turbogenerators, there will be problems with maintaining lock-step grid system frequency stability. Wind turbines have much less ...

Carrier Injection Sensorless (CIS) rotor position estimation for electric machines depends on the rotor saliency "seen" from the stator terminals. Compared to permanent magnet and induction machines, ...

Generators are the active elements in the network.They are connected by a shaft to turbines in any type of power plants – to have the same speed and the same torque.

People in the power industry understand inertia and its importance to grid stability. As large thermal power plants and other inertia-providing units are replaced with renewable resources that provide ...
