Why are generators helpful?

Electrical generators produce electric power, and generators solve the problem of production. We use electricity in countless ways, and we need to access some kind of generator if we can't directly access the power grid.


Windmill is an example of what kind of energy transformation?

Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy


What type of current is produced in a generator?

In order to generate an electric current, a magnet is moved near copper, usually copper wires. Because of the magnetic field affecting the copper, an electric current is formed due to the electrons moving in the copper.


How can the power output of generators be coupled?

Generally speaking, the outputs of generators can be coupled by connecting the generators in parallel. In generators that produce DC (direct current), the voltages need to be equalized and the polarities of the connections needs to be observed. Both negatives are connected together and both positives connected together to create one parallel output. In an AC setup, the generators need to be running about the same voltage, and must be connected in phase for the setup to be successful. In practice, the generator that is being brought online is run up, and it frequency is allow to be a little bit faster than the unit that is online. When the phase difference is being observed, and the difference is approaching zero, at a "couple of degrees before" the zero, the generator that is being brought online is then connected to the grid and it "locks in" so that all the generators are running in phase. Connecting DC generators positive to negative is an invitation to disaster, and bringing an AC generator online 180 degrees out of phase with an running generator is the same kind of disaster. Shutting a breaker to parallel generators without insuring polarity concordance (in the case of the DC ones) or phase concordance (in the case of the AC ones) will pit one generator against the other, and severe damage will result.
