Alternators:
The generator employed in power plants are three
phase synchronous generators, called as alternators
Main types are Hydro-generators and Turbo Generators
Used to generate electricity
Input to Hydro-generator is velocity or pressure of
water and output is electrical power
Input to turbo generators is pressurized steam and
output is electric power
Turbine used for hydro generators are Kaplan turbine,
Francis turbine
Turbine used for turbo generators are impulse and
reaction turbines
