  2. Nonintrusive load monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonintrusive_load_monitoring

    Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM), nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NIALM), [1] or energy disaggregation [2] is a process for analyzing changes in the voltage and current going into a house and deducing what appliances are used in the house as well as their individual energy consumption.

  3. Power system operations and control - Wikipedia

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

    The term power system control describes actions taken in response to unplanned disturbances (e.g., changes in demand or equipment failures) in order to provide reliable electric supply of acceptable quality. [3] The corresponding engineering branch is called Power System Operations and Control.

  4. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    Nuclear energy and renewable energy have reduced environmental costs by decreasing CO 2 emissions resulting from energy consumption. [42] There is a catastrophic risk potential if containment fails, [43] which in nuclear reactors can be brought about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission products into the ...

  5. Environmental impact of the energy industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    World consumption of primary energy by energy type. [1] Energy consumption per capita per country (2001). Red hues indicate increase, green hues decrease of consumption during the 1990s. [2] The environmental impact of the energy industry is significant, as energy and natural resource consumption are closely related. Producing, transporting, or ...

  6. Power outage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_outage

    During a power outage, there is a disruption in the supply of electricity, resulting in a loss of power to homes, businesses, and other facilities. Power outages can occur for various reasons, including severe weather conditions (e.g. storms, hurricanes, or blizzards), earthquakes, equipment failure, grid overload, or planned maintenance.

  7. Environmental degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_degradation

    Industrialized nations, with higher per capita consumption rates, often have a disproportionately large environmental footprint compared to less developed regions. Efforts to adopt sustainable development practices, including renewable energy, recycling, and waste reduction, could mitigate some of the environmental impacts of increased consumption.

  8. Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation

    Micro-moments are essential in realizing energy consumption patterns and are identified using a variety of sensing units positioned in prominent areas across the home. [1] The micro-moment is an event that changes the state of the appliance from inactive to active and helps in building users' energy consumption profiles according to their ...

  9. Power system protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

    Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network.
