⚡
AC Generator

A rotating coil between magnetic poles, inducing alternating voltage.

⚡
Steam Turbine Generator

Condensing Rankine-cycle steam turbine simulator with a 3D power island, admission/grid controls, temperature-entropy diagram and condenser/cooling loop.

⚡
Gas Turbine Cycle

Single-shaft, grid-connected Brayton-cycle gas turbine simulator with compressor/turbine design settings, a pressure-ratio sweep and fault/trip logic.

⚡
Combined-Cycle Power Plant

Gas turbine coupled to an HRSG and steam turbine — see how recovered exhaust heat produces extra, fuel-free electrical output.

⚡
Synchronous Generator

Run a wound-field synchronous generator through its prime mover, exciter and breaker, synchronize to a grid or island load, and study phasors, power-angle curves and protection.

⚡
Generator Synchronization

Parallel a generator onto a live bus using the synchroscope, three-dark-lamp method and ANSI 25 sync-check permissives before closing the breaker.

⚡
Generator Excitation

Control a static exciter and AVR to regulate a generator's field current, terminal voltage and reactive power on island or grid networks.

⚡
Governor & Frequency Control

Model a turbine governor and watch droop vs. isochronous control restore frequency after a load change.

⚡
Generator Step-Up Transformer

Follow generator energy through a step-up transformer to the grid, with voltage ratios, losses and thermal behavior.

⚡
Generation vs. Load

Balance two generators, renewables and a battery against demand, and see how inertia and dispatch hold frequency steady.

⚡
Generator Protection

Apply internal faults, reverse power, loss of field and unbalance, then follow relay operation, lockout and breaker interruption through the trip chain.
