Without a commutator, a dynamo becomes an alternator, which is a synchronous singly fed generator.
The converters consist of a three-phase synchronous motor and a single-phase synchronous generator.
As mentioned before, power is generated by synchronous generators that operate in synchronism with the rest of the system.
A 2004 Canadian report concluded that synchronous generators, installations like microhydro, were the main concern.
In 1892, he published a study on the coupling of synchronous generators on a large AC electric grid.
Increasing the mechanical input power to a synchronous generator will not greatly affect the system frequency but will produce more electric power from that unit.
Synchronous motors fall under the more general category of synchronous machines which also includes the synchronous generator.
Permanent-magnet synchronous generator, a kind of alternator.
The synchronous generator of this turbine is coupled directly with the grid.
Conventional synchronous generators (CSG) direct drive machines have the highest per-unit copper content.
