A renowned wind turbine company wants to sell you a wind turbine to go on your roof. They say that you will be able to produce all of the electricity required for your home because their “WindX 5,000” turbine has reached an efficiency of 73%. Is it feasible to buy the turbine? Would you buy this turbine?
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
