Explain how a doubly fed alternator operates

What will be an ideal response?


A doubly fed alternator uses a tightly controlled ac voltage from an external source to generate the rotating field. The output frequency of the generator is determined by a combination of the rotating speed of the generator and the frequency of ac that is

supplied from the external source. As a result, the generator's output is controlled to be in perfect sync with the grid even if the rotor speed changes.
