What is the difference between induction generator and
synchronous generator?

Answer Posted / rakesh

an induction generator is one which needs a continuous
supply from the mains , that is it is not self starting it
needs to be first started as an induction motor and then
the primemover torque be applied in opposite to the
electromagnetic toreque so that the rotor startss moving at
a sped greater than the synchronous speed , while a
synchronous generatore is self starting and requires only
prime mover torque which rotates it in the direction
opposite to electromagneticc torque and it rotates with the
synchronous speed
