Designed of Hydrogenator for Tropical Use in Rural Environment

The constant need for uninterrupted power supply by various consumers, particularly in rural communities has called for more ways in the design of alternative systems to meet this need. There are various sources of electrical power supply in which the use of a synchronous generator is inevitable, this even includes the latest development in renewable energy technologies. There are two distinct types of synchronous generators these are Hydro-generator and Turbo-generator.  A synchronous generator in principle is an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy which is supplied to load centres at various points.  The design of this hydro-generator 50MVA, 125rpm, 0.9 power factor is targeted for use in the rural areas of the tropics for which the prevailing temperature is taken care of; e.g. in Nigeria.
