  2. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    The demand, or load on an electrical grid is the total electrical power being removed by the users of the grid. The graph of the demand over time is called the demand curve. Baseload is the minimum load on the grid over any given period, peak demand is the maximum load. Historically, baseload was commonly met by equipment that was relatively ...

  3. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power...

    The electrical power grid that powers Northern America is not a single grid, but is instead divided into multiple wide area synchronous grids. [1] The Eastern Interconnection and the Western Interconnection are the largest. Three other regions include the Texas Interconnection, the Quebec Interconnection, and the Alaska Interconnection.

  4. Wide area synchronous grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid

    A wide area synchronous grid (also called an "interconnection" in North America) is a three-phase electric power grid that has regional scale or greater that operates at a synchronized utility frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions.

  5. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

    Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to a power grid or as an emergency power supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support, and export to the power grid. [2] Diesel generator size is crucial to minimize low load or power shortages.

  6. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    A steam turbine used to provide electric power. An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area.

  7. Western Interconnection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interconnection

    The Western Interconnection is a wide area synchronous grid and one of the two major alternating current (AC) power grids in the North American power transmission grid.The other major wide area synchronous grid is the Eastern Interconnection.

  8. List of largest power stations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations

    Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear fuel, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides and the wind. Only the most significant fuel source is listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.

  9. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    Mains electricity or utility power, grid power, domestic power, and wall power, or, in some parts of Canada, hydro, is a general-purpose alternating-current (AC) electric power supply. It is the form of electrical power that is delivered to homes and businesses through the electrical grid in many parts of the world.
