What does motorization indicate in power generation?

Motorization in power generation refers to a generator that is connected to the electrical grid but is not carrying any load. This condition means that while the generator is operational and ready to provide power, it is currently not supplying any electricity to end users or the system. This state can occur due to various reasons such as maintenance schedules, system demand fluctuations, or operational decisions to keep the generator in standby mode until it is needed.

When a generator is in a motorized state, it may still be running to maintain readiness or for testing purposes but isn’t actively contributing to the power supply. Understanding this concept is important for effective power generation management and ensuring that generators can be brought online quickly when demand increases.
