Generator Synchronization (Part 2 of 2)

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture on generator synchronization. The lecture walks through how to synchronize a generator to the grid, how to examine the electrical and mechanical transients that occur at the time of synchronization, and how a synchronized generator exports real and reactive power. In this video, presenter Jim Pytel explains how to detect the electrical and mechanical transients/temporary events that occur during synchronization through analyzing current, power, and torque. Also discussed is how, once synchronized to the grid, a generator can meet the electrical power needs of grid connected electrical loads.

This video runs 14:06 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately.
