Dual stator-winding induction generators represent a significant evolution in generator design, incorporating two independent stator windings to enhance operational flexibility and performance. By ...

When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

To meet the demand for drive motors / generators needed for hybrid vehicles, engineers at Remy International Inc. designed a line of off-the-shelf devices that are said to have the highest ...

KUTTAWA, Ky., (Dec. 6, 2013) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District's Barkley Hydropower Plant Unit 1 here is back in operation after a phase-to-ground fault caused a fire that damaged ...

On July 21, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”) issued a final rule (“Order No. 828”) modifying the pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) to require ...

Over the past decade, since industry deregulation, the typical utility power plant has lengthened the maintenance intervals of its major systems to minimize downtime and costs. Many plants schedule ...

Large electrical generator stators are normally cooled by water. Unfortunately, generator availability is reduced when copper corrosion products plug the hollow strands of the stator-winding coil.

Global demand for electricity supply continues to grow. Power generation providers constantly evaluate capacity additions and the tradeoffs between alternatives. Since American utilities are building ...
