Abstract :
The synchronous machine has long been the most important of the electromechanical power-conversion devices, playing a key role both in the production of electricity and in certain special drive applications. This paper describes the synchronous generator achievements chronologically from the beginning up to now in separate decades. An outlook into a dynamic future is presented in the last section.
