Description : With a neat diagram explain doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). 

Last Answer : Diagram of Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG):  Explanation :-  DFIG can feed power through the stator as well as rotor to the grid. The stator is directly connected to the fixed frequency ... voltage is 690 V AC. So it must be step up to 33 KV to connect to power grid.  

Description : Why synchronous machine is called doubly excited machine?

Last Answer : Armature windings of synchronous machines either deliver 3 phase AC or absorb 3 phase AC source,  whereas field windings are energized from DC source. Thus due to presence of AC on armature and DC on field windings, synchronous machines are often referred as doubly excited machines.
