  2. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

    Large penetration of the inverter-based resources (IBRs) reduces the short circuit level: a typical synchronous generator can deliver a significant overcurrent, 2-5 [7] p.u., for a relatively long time (minutes), while the component limitations of the IBRs result in overcurrent limits of less than 2 [7] p.u. (usually 1.1-1.2 p.u.). [4]

  3. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    The ratio of the voltage bases on either side of a transformer is selected to be the same as the ratio of the transformer voltage ratings. With these two rules, a per-unit impedance remains unchanged when referred from one side of a transformer to the other. This allows the ideal transformer to be eliminated from a transformer model.

  4. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

    In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...

    A delta system arrangement provides only one voltage, but it has a greater redundancy as it may continue to operate normally with one of the three supply windings offline, albeit at 57.7% of total capacity. [1] Harmonic current in the neutral may become very large if nonlinear loads are connected.

  6. Scott-T transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott-T_transformer

    Assuming the desired voltage is the same on the two and three phase sides, the Scott-T transformer connection (shown right) consists of a centre-tapped 1:1 ratio main transformer, T1, and a √ 3 /2(≈86.6%) ratio teaser transformer, T2. The centre-tapped side of T1 is connected between two of the phases on the three-phase side.

  7. Power plant efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_efficiency

    This thermal energy input of 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ = 3,412 Btu; Therefore, the heat rate of a 100% efficient plant is simply 1, or 1 kWh/kWh, or 3.6 MJ/kWh, or 3,412 Btu/kWh; To express the efficiency of a generator or power plant as a percentage, invert the value if dimensionless notation or same unit are used. For example: A heat rate value of 5 ...

  8. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    For example, an ideal fuel cell operating at a temperature of 25 °C having gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen as inputs and liquid water as the output could produce a theoretical maximum amount of electrical energy of 237.129 kJ (0.06587 kWh) per gram mol (18.0154 gram) of water produced and would require 48.701 kJ (0.01353 kWh) per gram mol ...

  9. Superconducting magnetic energy storage - Wikipedia

    Circuit breaker reclosing. When the power angle difference across a circuit breaker is too large, protective relays prevent the reclosing of the circuit breakers. SMES systems can be used in these situations to reduce the power angle difference across the circuit breaker. Thereby allowing the reclosing of the circuit breaker.
