5. What is PMG in Alternators?

Answer Posted / s.madhavan

The answer above is partially correct. All AC alternators
presently manufactured are brush less type with built in
AVRs ( Automatic Voltage regultors ) Normally AVR get feed
back from load for its regulation. If the loads connected
have excessive harmonic content, feed back to AVR get
distorted and hence regulation gets affected. To avoid this
a PMG is mounted on the alternator itself which feed DC to
armature winding without reference to the load

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
