Asynchronous x synchronous generators
This post is about a comparison between asynchronous and synchronous generators. Showing main advantages and disadvantages of both.
How asynchronous generator works?
The asynchronous generator is also called induction generator. It is used in small hydropower plants and wind turbines.
DC voltage to rotor of synchronous generator
This is the second part of synchronous generator. The subject is an introduction about ways to provide direct current to synchronous machine’s rotor.
How synchronous generators work?
Synchronous generators are used in many types of power plants to convert mechanical energy of turbines in electrical energy.
The white tariff system
Today is explained how the Brazilian white tariff system works. This is an alternative form to consumer pay electricity bill.
