How does one convert an AC motor into a generator?

Answer Posted / sidda raghavendra

* For an induction machine:

at the time of starting if we can set the speed of the
machine is just less than its synchronous speed it works as
induction motor as we must give electrical power as input

at the time of starting if we can set the speed of the
machine is just higher than its synchronous speed it works
as induction Genearator as we must give Mechanical
(steam,hydral or diesel and so on) power as input

*For synchonous machine:

Its all depend on only the input of the machine

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.

1)we have 1000 cfm Blower,Dia-1Mtr,Velocity of air 94 m/s 2)We have Natural Air velocity 94m/s 3If i Put Wind Mill in natural air ,speed is 94m/s Then it will generate Assume 100kw 4)If i put same wind mill across the Blower,air speed is same 94m/s now the Question is Will it generate 100 kw?
