1. Synchronous generator excitation system Generally speaking, a generator set consists of an engine (providing kinetic energy), a generator (generating current), and a control system. Wind turbines rely on wind power to drive the generator to rotate and generate current; hydroelectric generators use the drop of water flow to generate power to drive the generator to generate electricity. Fuel generators rely on the combustion of diesel or gasoline to generate power to drive the generator set. Although the power source...
