Support through design

The variability of renewable energy sources—especially wind and solar—and the trend towards real-time electricity markets mean there is a growing need for flexible grid support plants to balance power fluctuations. Generators used for power balancing need to operate reliably under very demanding conditions.

Approaches to control partial discharge phenomena

Partial discharge (PD) is a known phenomenon in high voltage motors and generators. Various approaches are available to monitor winding condition and minimize the effects of PD.
