The loss of excitation (LOE) in synchronous generators represents a critical fault condition that can lead to severe operational disruptions and damage within power systems. Under normal conditions, ...

Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a ...

Traditional power stations are increasingly being replaced by wind and solar power plants – but that means the power grid lacks a stable pacemaker. Researchers from ETH Zurich are developing a control ...
