FGB is not only a leading manufacturer of direct drives, it also develops and builds high-performance and energy efficient generators for small power plants (up to 100kW) based on permanently excited synchronous machines. An electrical generator is the name given to a system that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The company produces both rotative and also translational operating generators.

The benefit of synchronous generators compared to asynchronous machines lies in the fact that these have good part load behaviour in connection with corresponding power electronics. This allows very high levels of efficiency to be achieved even in operating points that vary greatly from the rated range. This is especially important in the field of wind and water power, because wind and water are not always available in the same way.

Come and be inspired by the energy efficiency and high-performance density of our generators. We will be happy to advise you in detail here.

Picture: Hydrogen-powered 4-cylinder internal combustion engine with 120kW crankshaft generator. The crankshaft generator converts the mechanical power of the combustion engine into electrical power. The combustion engine is powered by hydrogen and complements fuel cell technology.
