  2. Grid code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_code

    Typically, a grid code will specify the required behavior of a connected generator during system disturbances. These include voltage regulation , power factor limits and reactive power supply, response to a system fault (e.g. short-circuit ), response to frequency changes on the grid, and requirement to " ride through " short interruptions of ...

  3. Power system operations and control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_operations...

    The graph on the right describes an extremely simplified system, with three committed generator units (fully dispatchable, with constant per-MWh cost): [7] unit A can deliver up to 120 MW at the cost of $30 per MWh (from 0 to 120 MW of system power); unit B can deliver up to 80 MW at $60/MWh (from 120 to 200 MW of system power);

  4. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

    If a system, solar cells for example, produces a current in excess of the maximum input current, that current is not used by the inverter. Maximum output current: The maximum output current is the maximum continuous alternating current that the inverter can supply. This value is typically used to determine the minimum current rating of the over ...

  5. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

    An electrical grid may have many types of generators and loads; generators must be controlled to maintain stable operation of the system. In an electric power system, automatic generation control (AGC) is a system for adjusting the power output of multiple generators at different power plants, in response to changes in the load. Since a power ...

  6. Variable-frequency transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_transformer

    A direct-current torque motor is mounted on the same shaft; changing the direction of torque applied to the shaft changes the direction of power flow. The variable-frequency transformer behaves as a continuously adjustable phase-shifting transformer. It allows control of the power flow between two networks.

  7. Harmonized System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System

    The process of assigning HS codes is known as "HS Classification". All products can be classified in the HS by using the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System ("GRI") that must be applied in strict order. HS codes can be determined by a variety of factors including a product's composition, its form and its function.

  8. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    For transmission systems with low power factor, losses are higher than for systems with high power factor. Utilities add capacitor banks, reactors and other components (such as phase-shifters ; static VAR compensators ; and flexible AC transmission systems , FACTS) throughout the system help to compensate for the reactive power flow, reduce the ...

  9. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

    In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as Voltage, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.
