Title: Digital slip frequency generator and method for determining the desired slip frequency

Patent ·
OSTI ID:866910

The output frequency of an electric power generator is kept constant with variable rotor speed by automatic adjustment of the excitation slip frequency. The invention features a digital slip frequency generator which provides sine and cosine waveforms from a look-up table, which are combined with real and reactive power output of the power generator.
