What is the Difference Between a Synchronous Generator and an Asynchronous Generator


Synchronous generator, that is, an alternator with the same rotor speed as the rotating magnetic field of the stator. According to the structure, it can be divided into two types: a rotating armature and a rotating magnetic field.

Synchronous generators are one of the most commonly used alternators. In the modern power industry, it is widely used in hydropower, thermal power, nuclear power generation and diesel power generation.A synchronous motor that operates as a generator is one of the most commonly used alternators. In the modern power industry, it is widely used in hydropower, thermal power, nuclear power generation and diesel engine.



Electricity. Since the synchronous generator generally adopts DC excitation, when the single machine operates independently, the voltage of the generator can be conveniently adjusted by adjusting the excitation current. If it is integrated into the grid operation, the voltage is determined by the grid and cannot be changed. At this time, the result of adjusting the excitation current is to adjust the power factor and reactive power of the motor.

An asynchronous generator is an alternator that utilizes an air gap rotating magnetic field between a stator and a rotor to interact with an induced current in a rotor winding. According to the working principle, it is also called "induction generator". The speed is slightly higher than the synchronous speed. The output power increases or decreases with the slip rate. It can be excited by the power grid or self-excited with a power capacitor.

Economical efficiency

(1) The power station equipped with asynchronous generators has low investment cost due to the lack of DC excitation system and synchronous devices.

(2) Since there is no collector ring, brush, and rotor excitation winding, maintenance and operation costs are low.

(3) The asynchronous generator rotor is a rotor winding similar to the hidden pole and the non-synchronous generator. Therefore, the general efficiency is higher than that of the synchronous generator with the same capacity and the same speed. Under the same water source, the asynchronous generator can generate more power.

(4) The above economic advantages of asynchronous generators will be partially offset by the required excitation (or additional synchronous capacity or additional capacitors) of the asynchronous generator.

(5) The magnitude of the excitation required for the asynchronous generator is inversely proportional to the rated speed of the motor (ie, proportional to the number of pole pairs of the motor). The higher the speed, the lower the excitation of the target value.

(6) The area of ​​the asynchronous generator power plant is smaller than that of the synchronous generator power plant

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...
