The theoretical operation of synchronous generators and synchronous motors is almost the same. The main differences are the direction of…

In all power systems the requirement is that the steady state speed deviation, and hence frequency, is kept small for…

Gas turbines are usually started by a DC motor or an air motor. Either system is available for most turbines…

The electrical engineer should take full account of the site location and environmental conditions that a gas turbine generator will…

The fuels usually consumed in gas turbines are either in liquid or dry gas forms and, in most cases, are…

There are basically two gas turbine driving methods, known as ‘single-shaft’ and ‘two (or twin) shaft’ drives. In a single-shaft…

At the earliest practical time in a project the engineers will need to identify areas of engineering and design where…

• Switchboards and motor control centre name and tag number. • Bus-section numbers or letters. • Cubicle numbers or letters.…

Single-line diagrams are the most essential documents that are developed during the detail design phase of a project. They identify…

The rating of a motor should exceed that of its driven machine by a suitable margin. The selection of this…
