About 600 industrial facilities will be affected: cement companies, oil refineries and electric power generators.
In 2010, a small number of very large electric power generators accounted for roughly one third of all natural gas delivered to consumers.
The rest comes from Regals gears, gearboxes and other power transmission equipment for cars, trains, boats and irrigation systems, plus electric motors and generators.
The application WL- LSMS provides a nanoscale analysis of important materials such as steels, iron-nickel alloys and advanced permanent magnets that will help drive future electric motors and generators.

For example, according to BCA Research, a firm of economic analysts, the prices of Chinese exports of electric motors and generators doubled over the past five years, yet because they remain much cheaper than American-produced products, their share of the American market has more than doubled, forcing local producers to cut prices.
ECONOMIST: Why China is not to blame for the surge in global inflation
Far Solitaire is powered by a conventional diesel-electric system consisting of three engines connected to generators that run electric motors.
Battery regeneration: Whenever the driver releases the accelerator pedal or applies the brakes, and the battery is insufficiently charged, the two electric motors act as generators and feed energy recovered from the brakes into the lithium-ion battery.

Backup generators only run when the electric grid goes down or for scheduled maintenance.
FORBES: Backup Generators Are the Bad and Ugly of Decentralized Energy
The amendment would require gas stations located within a half-mile of a highway exit or hurricane evacuation route to be prewired for backup generators, which would allow electric pumps to continue to pump fuel in the case of a power outage.
After Ralls completed the purchase, it prepared to install wind turbine generators made in China by a company called Sany Electric.

After all, it spawned George and Robert Stephenson's railway engines, Joseph Swan's electric light bulbs, and Sir Charles Parson's steam turbines and electricity generators.
In places where sunshine is bright and electric rates are stiff, solar cells could soon hold their own against fossil-powered generators.
Cell-towers are dependent on electric power from the grid, but many of them have backup batteries, and in some cases generators that can power the antennas independently for longer.
Backup generators are filthy, wasteful and prone to performance problems depending on the frequency and duration of electric grid outages.
FORBES: Backup Generators Are the Bad and Ugly of Decentralized Energy
In fact, you say, electric utilities are prepared to contract for this power even before you make the loan to build the windmills or solar generators.
Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) has organised eight mobile hot food outlets in Argyll and Arran, while 18 large generators and 50 smaller sets have been installed in the areas.
Each year U.S. electric utilities waste tens of billions of cubic feet of natural gas on "spinning reserves, " for example, generators that are running below top efficiency so they can supply electricity on a moment's notice.
