c) On 24th May 2021, there was a fault that caused wide power outage in Ghana from 7pm to 1am, the whole country was in total darkness. When the Volta River Authority (VRA) was contacted, they explained that the generators experienced massive system transient stability. In your own understanding of Synchronous generator, what would you recommend VRA do to restore power and bring the country back to light anytime there is such occurrence
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.
