Generator auto throttle system not working?
Try putting a smaller load on it it, and slowly work your way up. If the auto throttle is working (and the switch is on for it) the engine should increase its RPM with the increase in load. It may be working fine, its just that the load is to much.
Can a solar on-grid system work with a DG (diesel generator)?
In fact, it is very simple: the solar cell converts solar energy into electrical energy (DC), and the inverter inverts the direct current into 50 Hz, 220 VAC, and supplies power.The diesel generator is another system, and the diesel engine directly drives the alternator to generate electricity. Diesel generator sets are generally used as backup power sources, that is, when the grid is out of power, the diesel engine is started.The photovoltaic system can be used for grid-connected power generation or as a backup power source.Switching between systems is achieved by switching devices.
What is the internal work of a generator?
Electrical generators are stand alone machines that provide electricity when power from the local grid is unavailable.Generators will not actually create electricity. Instead, they transfer the mechanical or chemical energy into electricity. They do this by capturing the power of motion and converting it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. A generator is essentially an electrical motor working in reverse.Some electrical generators, such as those at Hoover Dam, for example, are huge and provide large amounts of energy by converting the power created by water turning turbines into electricity. Residential and commercial generators, however, are much smaller and rely on more traditional fuel sources like diesel, gas, and propane to create mechanical power that can then be forced into a circuit and induce an electrical current.Once an electrical current has been established, it is directed through copper wires to power external machines, devices, or entire electrical systems.Faraday discovered that when a conductor moves in a magnetic field, electrical charges could be created and directed to create a flow of current. At its most basic, an electrical generator is nothing more than an electromagnet – moving wire near a magnet to direct the flow of electricity. It’s similar to how a pump pushes water through a pipe.Caterpillar Generators & Cat Engines Australia
How does the generator of the hydroelectric system work?
A generator operates as a rotating magnetic field which induces electrical current to be induced through the theory of electromagnetic induction.The theory of electromagnetic induction was discovered on August 29, 1831 by Michael Faraday.As electricity is induced by the rotating magnetic field of a generator it induces electricity at a low vibrational level (potential) to flow as current into the higher potential of the rotating magnetic field which is operating at a higher vibrational level meaning Hz.A generator at a hydroelectric plant never creates electricity it induces electricity through the Third Law of Thermodynamics. Electricity is apparent in all things, everywhere without entropy ever being realized.
Can this system of a self-sufficient motor generator work?
This is an often misunderstood concept in that even if the system shown was lossless and it maintained itself it is still not capable of doing any useful work. As soon as mechanical power is required by any external entity the system will collapse. Being lossless will only allow the system shown to keep itself running at a constant speed and that is all.The system given shows no other work other than to maintain itself as per Newtons first Law.“Any body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion, unless acted upon by an external force”The example given is a case of the latter (uniform motion) and which will require an external force to do any useful work other than just maintain itself.Finally a step up transformer makes no difference as any transformer is a constant power device and does not amplify power but rather just transforms voltage and current on either side but the power remains constant.It would be better for the hand driven system to have lossless magnetic bearings and with no mechanical or air friction it would be capable of maintaining uniform motion as per Newtons Law; thus the transformer etc would be unnecessary. However, power will be required for the magnetic bearings ! :(
Can flywheel energy storage work as a generator?
We would call a device as generator of electrical energy if it accepts energy in some other form, and converts it into electricity.A new generation high speed flywheel gets current from a supply source, its motor runs at higher speed and stores energy in the form of rotational energy. The flywheel runs in vacuum and on suspended electromagnetic bearings, and thus is virtually free from friction of any kind. It is very good energy storage device.When energy is needed for grid, the motor turns generator, and power is obtained from flywheel. In the process, its speed goes down. A flywheel can retain its energy for years, and is one of the ideal sources for power, just like ultracapacitor
How do electric generators work?
Generator works on a very basic principle. Take a loop of copper wire and a magnet. Place the loop of wire in between the poles of a magnet and rotate the wire. That’s it; the rotating wire in the invisible magnetic field which is produced by the magnet creates electricity. This principle is called electromagnetic induction. To measure the amounts of electricity produced attach the two ends of the wire to an ammeter (a device to measure current). Movement of the wire decides the flow of current, moving the wire in the clockwise direction allows the current to flow in clockwise and vice-versa.In order to create some huge amperes of electricity, giant magnets and loop of wires are used. It is not so simple to rotate those wires or magnets instead an external energy is used to rotate. A fan is attached to the wires as an example in the image. To rotate the fan, natural sources like wind, water, etc are used. This explains the definition of a generator, mechanical energy (fan in this context) converts to electrical energy (a bulb or ammeter to measure it).still confused...learn more about how generator works on How does a Generator work - HowTechnologyWork
How long does a 4000 watt generator last?
If you're on a budget, then I suggest you save your money towards getting the house electricity fixed. That's what you really need. In the meantime, ask your neighbor whether you can do your homework at their house. With a little more money, you could get a gasoline-powered generator. That will be much cheaper than any solar solution, even with the gas included. And that can sit in your garage for other emergencies. Of the complete solar systems that I've seen advertised as a single unit, all of them have had wildly unrealistic specifications. When an inverter has a peak rating like that, it's usually over maybe 10 seconds or so, enough to start a motor. Depending on the battery bank and size of cables used, the inverter may not even be able to deliver that. For the kind of system typically sold for $1000 - $2000, you can expect to get maybe 1-2 hours of laptop and a compact fluorescent bulb. A standalone solar system can be built for less that provides more, but it's not a simple thing to do. And the battery must be maintained, you can't just use the system and not think about it.
Can I create a Self sustaining Generator?
This is another term for a free energy machine, AKA a unicorn.There's an “important” difference between a free energy machine and a perpetual motion machine. A free energy machine outputs more energy than you put into it. A perpetual motion machine outputs 100% of the energy it receives without any loss due to heat, sound, friction, etcetera.Theoretically what you describe would be a generator that creates more energy than it uses. It sustains its turbine using the energy it generates and outputs a little extra, thus providing free energy.As you may have guessed, this is an impossible machine. You may be tempted to believe that this is only impossible until someone figures out a way to do it, but believe me there is something much deeper that prevents the existence of this machine… The most fundamental of all laws of physics, the conservation of mass and energy, make this machine impossible.Now if the generator only produces enough energy to sustain itself and no more, it is a perpetual motion machine. This is theoretically possible, but practically impossible. If there is any energy loss it will slow down and stop working. In reality, friction, air resistance, heat, back EMF, electrical resistance, magnetic field loss (Reluctance), vibration, and countless other factors will cause inefficiencies that waste energy and prevent 100% efficiency.And now you know why a self sustainable generator is also known as a unicorn.
