An alternator is machine that
generates alternation electricity. It is a type of generator by which
mechanical energy is converted into alternating electrical energy. Alternator
is also called as synchronous generator. By applications, the alternators are classified
as automotive type, diesel electric locomotive type, marine type, brush less
type and radio alternators. The automotive alternators experimentation expanded
in the year 1949, based on their military applications during World War II. The
power for modern vehicle electrical system is produced from an alternator when
the car engine is in running state. In automobiles, alternators
are also used for charging the battery. Therefore, the alternator is much
simpler, lighter, cheaper and rougher than other DC generators used. Although
motor vehicles electrical system generally needs direct current but an
alternator with diode rectifier is better choice than a DC generator as there
is no complicated commutation in it. Commutator is the moving part of a rotary
electrical switch in electric motors as well as generators that reverses the
direction of current between the rotor and external circuit in a period of
time.
Alternator is also used in diesel electric locomotives. The
alternating current produced is converted to direct current with the help of
silicon diode rectifiers to run the traction motors which are used to drive the
locomotive wheels. The alternator used in marine is typically designed with
suitable adaptations to saline water environment. The brush type alternators
are used in power electric generation plant as a main power source. The radio
alternators are used for the transmission of low band radio frequency. On the
basis of design, alternators are categorized into two major types which include
salient pole type and smooth cylindrical type. The salient pole type
alternators are the medium or low speed alternators having large diameters and
small axial lengths. They look like big wheels and are used mainly in hydro
power plant. The smooth cylindrical type alternators are used for steam
turbines having a high speed rotor.

Providing low costs offerings
for alternators sourced from overseas would be a good opportunity for
alternator market to significantly grow in the near future. The shift towards
salient pole alternators from cylindrical pole alternators leads to increasing
complexity, along with time, cost, as well as skill of remanufacturing, which
makes these new products a better alternative. Therefore, in order to remain
stiff in an increasingly competitive market, manufacturers should align their
product line as well as distribution strategies with the market needs, while
also considering geographic expansion.
The market for alternator is highly competitive and includes
various key players such as Robert Bosch GmbH, Denso Corporation, Hitachi
Automotive Systems, Ltd., Valeo SA, Mitsuba Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric
Corporation, Hella Kgaa Hueck & Co., Lucas Electrical, Controlled Power
Technologies Ltd., Asimco Technologies, Letrika Group, Lucas Electrical,
Prestolite Electric, Remy International, Wonder Auto Technology, and Zhejiang
Dehong Automotive Electronic & Electrical Systems Co., Ltd.
