Asynchronous Generator/ Hydro Generator / Hydro Power Plant

The asynchronous generator is an alternating current (AC) generator. The benefit of asynchronous generator is that it can directly send electricity to the grid (under 500kW), which saves money on the transformer and related auxiliary system. Additionally, it requires less complicated construction and saves civil work cost. It is often used by areas with reliable power grid.

Fuchun Industry consistently supplies small asynchronous generator (500kW) to our customers in the European market. They can be easily installed and started by our customers even without our engineers on-site.

An asynchronous or asynchronous generator is a type of electric generator that does not rely on synchronization with an external electrical grid to produce power. Also known as an induction generator, an asynchronous generator generates electricity by creating a rotating magnetic field within its stator windings. This field induces an electric current in the rotor windings, which in turn produces a magnetic field that rotates in the opposite direction to the stator field. This relative motion between the two fields creates a voltage difference, which generates electrical power. Asynchronous generators are commonly used in small-scale power generation applications, such as wind turbines or micro-hydroelectric systems, where it is not practical or cost-effective to connect to an external electrical grid. They are also used as backup power sources in case of grid failures. Asynchronous generators are generally less efficient than synchronized generators, and they may require more maintenance due to their complex rotor design.
