On single-phase operation of three-phase synchronous generators (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Spagnolo, C., Nuzzo, S., Giangrande, P., Galea, M., & Serra, G. (2020). On single-phase operation of three-phase synchronous generators. In ICEMS2020 Web Remote Conference, The 23rd International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems, November 24 to 27, 2020 (1994-1999). https://doi.org/10.23919/icems50442.2020.9290872

Classical synchronous generators have been used for decades in the field of power generation. The traditional manner of operation of these systems is the balanced, three phase configuration. However, recently there has been an interest in re-configur... Read More about On single-phase operation of three-phase synchronous generators.
