Induction Generator

An induction generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetic principles, typically found in wind turbines. It operates by rotating a coil within a magnetic field, creating electricity without needing an external power source to generate the magnetic field itself. Instead, it relies on the power supplied by the grid or a separate source initially to establish the magnetic field, then it can generate electricity when driven by wind or other mechanical means. This type of generator is favored for its simplicity, robustness, and cost-effectiveness in renewable energy systems.
