Learning Outcomes: -
Students will be able to:
 Know the basics of a synchronous machine.
 Know different types of alternators from application point of view.
 Understand the concept of power generation in hydro and thermal power plant.
 Know the various sources of power generation in India and Odisha.
 Analyse the basic concept of emf generation.

synchronous machines: -
 Synchronous Machine constitutes of both synchronous motors as well as
synchronous generators.
 An AC system has many advantages over DC system like:
i. It is easy to generate.
ii. It is cheaper.
iii. It can be transmitted over long distances.
iv. It is easy to increase or decrease the voltage levels in AC system, etc.
 Therefore, the AC system is exclusively used for generation, transmission
and distribution of electric power.
 The machine which converts mechanical energy into AC electrical energy is
called as Synchronous Generator or Alternator.
 Synchronous machine can also converts AC electrical energy to mechanical
power while running at synchronous speed. In this mode of operation it is
called as Synchronous Motor.
6
 A rotary electric machine whose rotor rotates in synchronization with a
rotating field produced by an AC current flowing through its armature winding,
is called a synchronous machine.
 Synchronous machines run at synchronous speed (independent of the loading
condition) given by:
120
s
f
N
P
 Where, ‘f’ is the frequency of the AC current and ‘P’ is the
number of poles.
 Electrical machines which do not run at synchronous speed are called
asynchronous machines (e.g. Induction motors).
7
 In simple terms alternators are the alternating current generators which are
widely used in power plants for generating bulk of electricity world wide.
Basically there are five different types of alternators:
i. Automotive alternators – used in modern automobiles.
ii. Diesel-electric alternators – coupled with a diesel engine to generate
electricity (Alternators used in Apartments, Multiplexes, etc.).
iii. Brushless alternators – used in electrical power generating plants to
generate bulk electricity (In Power Plants).
Types of Alternator from application point
of view: -

Automotive Alternators Diesel-Electric Alternators

Brushless alternators: -
These alternators are basically used in power plants to generate buck electricity, for example
in Hydro-electric power plants, Thermal Power Plants, Nuclear Power Plants etc.

Working Principle of alternator: -
An alternator works on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic
Induction, i.e whenever flux linking with a coil changes an emf is induced in
the coil. It can also be described as an emf is induced in a conductor when there
is relative velocity between the conductor and a magnetic field (Motional emf).
Magnitude of the generated emf in the coil is given by:
d
e N
dt

 
Where ‘N’ is the number of turns in the coil. ‘–ve’ sign indicates that the polarity of
induced emf is such that when current flows through the coil it produces a flux to
oppose the change of flux causing the generation of emf in the coil (Lenz’s Law).

Magnitude of the induced emf (Motional emf) can also be determined as:
Direction of induced emf/current can also be determined by using Fleming’s Right
Rule.
sine Blv 
In this example the direction of magnetic field is
towards left, motion of the conductor is upward,
so the direction of current is towards the
observer. If we mark the polarity of induced emf
the end facing the observer (A) is at higher
potential (+) with respect to the other terminal
(B) (-).
** Current through the source flows from lower
potential to higher potential whereas in the
external circuit it is from higher potential to
lower potential.

Where ‘B’ is the magnetic flux density, ‘l’ is the length of the conductor and ‘θ’ is
the angle between the magnetic field and velocity.

sine Blv 
Here ‘θ’ is 2700 (Measured counter clockwise from +z-axis to +y-axis on the yz-
plane). So the induced emf is –ve, i.e. if we move through the conductor along the +ve
x-axis, there will be a fall in potential (because we will be moving from a higher
potential to a lower potential).

Lenz’s Law: - By applying the principle of motor operation, (i.e. a current
carrying conductor placed inside a magnetic field, experiences a mechanical
force) it can be seen that the force experienced by the conductor is opposite to the
direction of motion of the conductor causing the generation).
 Direction of force experienced by the current
carrying conductor can also be obtained by
using Fleming’s Left Hand Rule.

 To generate sinusoidally varying emf we need to rotate the conductor so that
the angle between the velocity of the conductor and the magnetic filed must
change from 0-360 in one cycle of rotation.
 To achieve this we need to rotate the conductor in a circular path.
 At position 1, θ=00, at 2, θ=450, at 2, θ=900, at 4, θ=1350, at 5, θ=1800, at 6,
θ=2250, at 7, θ=2700, at 8, θ=3150, at 1, θ=3600=00.

One conductor rotating in a magnetic field gives a very small value of induced emf.
 If we take a single turn coil (two conductors) and rotate it in a magnetic field,
we will have an induced emf twice that of with a single conductor.
 So, in practice a generator has many conductors or coils rotating
simultaneously in a magnetic field.

  • 19. 19  To generate sinusoidally varying emf we need to rotate the conductor so that the angle between the velocity of the conductor and the magnetic filed must change from 0-360 in one cycle of rotation.  To achieve this we need to rotate the conductor in a circular path.  At position 1, θ=00, at 2, θ=450, at 2, θ=900, at 4, θ=1350, at 5, θ=1800, at 6, θ=2250, at 7, θ=2700, at 8, θ=3150, at 1, θ=3600=00.

  • 21. 21 One conductor rotating in a magnetic field gives a very small value of induced emf.  If we take a single turn coil (two conductors) and rotate it in a magnetic field, we will have an induced emf twice that of with a single conductor.  So, in practice a generator has many conductors or coils rotating simultaneously in a magnetic field. + + - - 2 V -2 V
