the operation of connecting an alternator with other alternator or with common bus-bars is known as synchronizing.Generally alternator used in power system where they are connected in parallel with other alternator.
condition for parallel operation of an alternator
1. The terminal voltage of incoming alternator must be same as the bus-bars voltage.
2. The speed of incoming alternator must be such that its frequency f =pn/120 as the same frequency of the bus-bars.
3. The voltage of incoming alternator and the bus-bars voltage are in same phage.

When two generators are to be run in parallel, one generator is first started and some load is given. Then second generator is brought in parallel with the running generator (subject few conditions, like voltage, frequency, phase angle). First generator which is running is known as running generator, the second generator which gets connected is known as incoming generator
a motor drives something a generator is driven by something
In the operation of a standard generator, the exciter rotor and stator provide DC-type energy to an AC-type supply. This allows the exciter to maintain a constant DC source.
Transformers can be connected in parallel, if they have the same primary and secondary voltages and equal operating frequency.
