ABSTRACT
Wound-rotor induction generators (WRIGs) have been built for power per unit as high as 400 MW/unit in pump storage power plants, to as low as 4.0 MW/unit in wind power plants. Diesel engine or gasturbine-driven WRIGs for standby or autonomous operation up to 20-40 MW may also be feasible to reduce fuel consumption and pollution for variable loads.
