Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The generator feeds two-thirds of the nominal power from the directly connected stator and the one-third from the rotor. The converter is used to control the generator’s speed and power factor, allowing a wider speed range for power production as well as the ability to feed reactive power to support the grid. 2, record 1, English, - wound%20rotor%20asynchronous%20generator
