Many turbine manufacturers are moving towards direct drive turbines and leaving the traditional gearbox turbines behind. Direct drive turbines achieve more reliability, efficiency and reduce the overall cost of producing electricity. In a direct drive method, power is taken directly from the mechanical source without any efficiency reductions earlier caused…
Wind energy is clean and green. It contributes towards a good percentage of total power generating resources any country has. This may reduce the consumption of other energy resources which use depleted resources and are not clean. Wind is variable and it does not provide its full power every single…
It is important for the customers as well as the manufacturers to know the voltage and rpm specifications of the product. But exactly how are they related? Simply said, voltage generated in an alternator is directly proportional to the speed of the generator or the prime mover; E = K…
Permanent magnet alternators can be operated at different speeds. Thus there are alternators working at low rpm and others at high rpm. This feature is suitable when these alternators have applications in various fields like wind turbines, hydro-kinetic energy and other renewable energy devices. For example, vertical axis permanent magnet…
PM Generator Ltd manufactures high speed permanent magnet generators for domestic and international markets. These generators can be used for Diesel Generator Sets, Hybrid Electric Propulsion, Wind Energy and Hydroelectric purposes. The conventional DG sets use traditional alternators which are much larger, heavier, noisier and up to 35% less efficient.…
When it comes to generating electricity, not all generators are the same. Some are designed to run at very high speeds, while others work at lower speeds to provide steady and efficient power. One such solution is the low RPM generator, which has become an important choice in industries and…
