Load Forecasting – Purpose, Classification and Procedure
What is Load Forecasting? Electrical energy cannot currently be stored in large amounts. It has to be generated whenever there is a demand for it. It is, therefore, imperative for the electric power utilities that the load on their systems should be estimated in advance. The estimation of the active load at various load buses in advance is commonly known as load … [Read more...] about Load Forecasting – Purpose, Classification and Procedure
Working Principle of Alternator
The machine which produces 3 phase power from mechanical power is called an alternator or synchronous generator. The working of an alternator is based on the principle that when the flux linking a conductor changes, an emf is induced in the conductor. Alternators are the primary source of all the electrical energy we consume. These machines are the largest energy converters … [Read more...] about Working Principle of Alternator
4 Advantages of Stationary Armature in Alternator
An alternator operates on the same fundamental principle of electromagnetic induction as a DC generator i.e., when the flux linking a conductor changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the conductor. Like a DC generator, an alternator also has an armature winding and a field winding. But there is one important difference between the two. In a DC generator, the armature winding is … [Read more...] about 4 Advantages of Stationary Armature in Alternator
