“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

General Electric (“GE”)‚ similar to many major corporations in the 1980s and 1990s‚ underwent a restructuring phase in line with the McKinsey Restructuring Pentagon. Through this restructuring‚ General Electric implemented a portfolio-planning model to manage the ever-increasing demands of a company involved in over 190 businesses. Ultimately‚ this model allowed GE to formally??? GE set lofty goals of increasing earnings per share 25% faster than the growth of GNP. In order to achieve this the

HYDRAULIC TURBINES Meaning of the term ‘Hydraulic’ • The working fluid is a liquid or a gas?? ANSWER – WORKING FLUID IS A LIQUID. TURBINE – WORKING PRINCIPLE • In turbines the pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy(which is further converted into electrical energy). WORKING PRINCIPLE OF PUMPS it is just the reverse of the above‚ that is‚ the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy. OUR FOCUS OF STUDY • Working of various types of hydraulic turbines. • Working

DISCUSSION 8 REFERENCE 10 INTRODUCTION Synchronous generators or alternators are synchronous machines used to convert mechanical power to ac electric power. Nowadays‚ an isolated synchronous generator supplying its own load independently of other generators is very rare. Such a situation is found in only a few out-of-the-way applications such as emergency generators. For all usual generator applications‚ there is more than one generator operating in parallel to supply the power demanded by the

Feasibility of Residential Wind Turbines As Americans work to reduce fossil fuel dependence and look to more environmentally friendly energy sources‚ the use of wind energy technology has become the fastest growing segment of the energy market. The feasibility of residential wind turbines mainly comes down to wind resource‚ economic feasibility‚ and consumer acceptance. The use of residential wind turbines is certainly feasible in some areas‚ however; I do not believe they are feasible on a wide-scale

------------------------------------------------- Electric generator In electricity generation‚ an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow through an external electrical circuit. It is analogous to a water pump‚ which causes water to flow (but does not create water). The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine‚ water falling through a turbine or waterwheel‚ an internal
