Residential applications for smart grid technologies continue to grow as electricity customers take more control of their energy usage and costs. Homeowners with rooftop solar have been selling power ...

Brushless doubly-fed induction generators (BDFIGs) represent an innovative class of electric machines that eliminate the need for mechanical brushes, thereby increasing reliability and reducing ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

Abstract The penetration of large-scale wind power generators to the grid has resulted in an increasing focus on the study on their fault ride through issue that is becoming imminent. The doubly fed ...

When the lights go out, it affects everyone. It's not only the inconvenience of having the TV shut off unexpectedly—a lot of heavy equipment really dislikes having the power disappear suddenly. For ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

You could have an engine driving a DC generator, with circuitry converting it to AC for the grid, with just 1-2% loss, and completely eliminate these issues of phase, whether with a single generator ...
