While reading a book on electrical machines, I found a point that says that for power generation, a stationary armature is the preferred type. If in any generator, there must be moving parts, why is the choice of stationary armature preferred.

Because large currents need sizable conductors and brushes wear.
So fixed connections are easier and only a permanent magnet or a small excitation current needs to be rotated.
