Any generator that rotates will naturally generate AC power into the stationary winding. Wind generators are (all I believe, but could be wrong) induction machines, meaning an AC source is applied to the field and an AC output is generated in the stator. Just like an induction motor, the machine operates with some slip (the rotor speed + the field power frequency = the stator power frequency). If the machine is turning above synchronous speed (so the slip is negative in my equation), the machine will be generating power instead of using it.

What are the reasons for generating energy as alternating current?
ENERGY CAN BE GENERATED ONLY AS A ALTERNATIG CURRENT.THERE IS NO WAYS OF GENERATING ENERGY AS A DC DIRECTY.IN CASE OF DC GENERATION ,AC IS GENERATED FIRST AND THEN RECTIFIED INTO DC. TO UNDERSTAND THIS CLEARLY YOU NEED TO KNOW THE WORKING OF GENERATORS. THE REASONS FOR GENERATING ENERGY AS AC IS ENERGY CANNOT BE GENERATED AS DC.
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
Can you generate direct current?
Direct current can be generated by a generator. Generators are not as efficient as alternators ( that generated AC power ). Vehicles use direct current but come equipped with alternators. The AC power is rectified ( changed to DC ) for use.
Why use the synchronous generator in power plant?
The electrical power generated must be AC exactly phase synchronized with the AC on the power grid. If it is not synchronized the generators will take power from the grid and try to run as motors and probably severely damage themselves and maybe other parts of the power plant.
Is it possible to generate dc power. if yes please explain.?
Solar electric (photo-voltaic or PV) panels "generate" DC power when exposed to the sun. For rotary type generation such as hydro, wind, diesel or steam turbine (fuelled by coal, natural gas or nuclear), the actual generator part of the system can generate AC or DC depnding on the generator installed for that application.

Is electricity generated by rotating magnets around copper coils AC or DC?
It is AC, alternating current. To create DC the generated power needs to go through a full wave rectifier.
Can solar energy be used to power AC electric motor?
Yes, but the DC current generated needs to be turned into AC first.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of flexible ac transmission systems?

Why do power plants produce AC power naturally?
AC (alternating current) is the primary form of electricity because it can be generated at very high voltages and sent across many, many miles of carrying lines.
Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?
Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.
Why use the synchronous generator in power plant?

Why did electrical generation switch over from DC power to AC power?
It was near the beginning, around 1880, when it was found that AC power gives more flexibility in the supply and allows power to be transformed up and down in voltage for transmission over large distances.
Does a wind turbine produce ac or dc?
Big wind turbines (as those in a wind farm) generate ac, because it is easier to connect them to the grid. Most of the home turbines generate dc (trough a dc generator or an ac generator and a rectifier) i believe this is because they are often used to charge batteries. The usual way to get ac out of a home dc wind turbine is using a power inverter, just as a photovoltaic system.
