An Impulse Voltage Generator is a specialized high-voltage test system designed to generate standard lightning impulse or switching impulse waveforms. These waveforms are applied to electrical ...

Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

It's been quite some time since we first covered the exploits of a company called LiquidPiston, and given what we've learned since then, we were quite anxious to find out what these guys are up to ...

In construction environments, load bank testing also helps teams evaluate how well the generator handles typical site loads. This information informs generator sizing, fuel planning, and maintenance ...

From rolling blackouts in California to windstorms toppling forests (and power lines) in Washington State; hurricanes devastating communities along the eastern seaboard to electrical grid failures in ...

Time and time again, Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) shows the global utility industry its strength, technical capability, and resource depth to serve as a premier alternative to the original ...

The future of renewable energy might be in the sky. Researchers in China have reportedly tested a new, gravity-defying wind turbine system that they say could generate power from the airspace above ...
