we do not use induction generator because it require an external source (synchronous generator) that provide reactive power to it.

How many types of AC generator are there?

Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.


Why do you use induction generators in wind generation rather than synchronous generators?

If you use synchronous generator... you need rotor to rotate always in synchronous speed... practically it s not possible always to produce that speed by air flow... Air flow always varies...But using induction generator, you need to get speed to make slip as positive value.. it is always possible...so induction generator is best one..


Is capacitor bank needed for generator?

Capacitors are usually used in power systems to corect power factor, which is a ver complex feild. However, yes capacitors are somtimes used with induction generators. When an induction motor is used as a generator, the spinning rotor has no appreaciable magnetisim and so the motor cannot generate electricity. Carefuly selected capacitors overcome the this difficulty induction machines have in generating voltage allowing them to opperate indipendently from another conventional generator.


What is the theory of conversion of AC to DC using 3-phase induction motor and DC shunt generator?

The theory of converting AC to DC using a 3-phase induction motor and a DC shunt generator involves utilizing the induction motor to mechanically drive the shunt generator. When the induction motor is powered by a three-phase AC supply, it operates and drives the rotor of the connected DC shunt generator. This generator then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, producing a DC output. The process allows for efficient conversion of AC to DC, leveraging the motor's mechanical properties and the generator's electrical characteristics.


What is the purpose of an electrical generator?

How does a generator use electromagnetic induction?

There is a motor in a generator which carries out this electromagnetic induction,as we switch on the generator the magnetic field lines between that motor get cuts off by the rotating coil which cause change in flux and change in flux cause induced emf,cue to emf at different points of coil cause current to get flow and then generator will get on.


How is energy transferred by a generator?

Energy is transferred by a generator through electromagnetic induction. As the rotor inside the generator spins, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces a current in the wire loops of the stator. This current is the electrical energy that is then transferred out of the generator for use.

Difference between induction motor and induction generator?

in case of induction motor the rotor speed is less than synchronous speed giving positive slip but in case of generator the rptor speed is greater than synchronous speed giving negative slip.......


Why is the frequency of a synchronous generator locked into its rate of shaft rotation?

By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.
