Get a thorough introduction to generator protection in a combination of theoretical and hands-on sessions in Omicron Academy's new course. By enrolling in this new program, participants can become ...

Corrosion-induced events can lead to equipment failure, unit shutdowns, and in some cases injury or death. The most notable mechanism at present in this regard is flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), ...

The design of a generator system requires many hours of detailed planning with the goal of creating an extremely reliable backup power source. Properly installed, the ...

Generator manufacturers contend with a significant problem during installation that can result in a DOA (dead on arrival) equipment failure. The solution below describes a ‘universal circuit ...

In wind power plants, electrical circuit problems are known to cause short-term torque peaks. In this event, slip clutches protect the costly gearbox against overload by slipping at a defined maximum ...

Extreme weather seems more common these days – sustained blasts of arctic air, days of high winds with damaging gusts, and dramatic changes in temperature that cause flooding. As we all know, extreme ...

The loss of excitation (LOE) in synchronous generators represents a critical fault condition that can lead to severe operational disruptions and damage within power systems. Under normal conditions, ...
