    Grid tie synchronous generator rotating forward and reverse directions

    Bill, My understanding based on earlier posts is that the AC generator connected to the rectifier can rotates forward or backwards. The change of phase sequence due to change of rotation is 'handled' by the rectifier and converted into DC. This DC amplitude is proportional to the generated AC...

    Grid tie synchronous generator rotating forward and reverse directions

    Thanks all for the explanations. It make sense now. My understanding was that the change of direction of rotation would change the phase sequence, hence affecting the power flow to the grid.

    Grid tie synchronous generator rotating forward and reverse directions

    Thanks Bill. Appreciate cooling may be a challenge, but my concern is whether the generator can generate power in bi-direction. It's for wave power application and I'm considering synchronous brushless AC generator connected to power converter (inverter). Assuming buoy movement cause the...

    Grid tie synchronous generator rotating forward and reverse directions

    Hi all, Is it possible for a sync generator generates continuous power if it rotates forward and reverse (clockwise and counter clockwise) directions? The generator can be connected to power converter and grid tie inverter. The application drive the generator in forward rotation for a fixed...

    Questions about MMSCFD

    Hello all, I'm pretty new in oil and gas I have few questions any advice is much appreciated: Question 1 Information of natural gas (assumes methane) provided by operator i.e. 5 mmscfd, 50 bar, 80 C am I right to say that it is referring to standard condition at 1 atm, 60 F not the specified...
