  2. 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 ...

  3. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    A resistive load bank, the most common type, provides equivalent loading for both generators and prime movers. That is, for each kilowatt (or horsepower) of load applied to the generator by the load bank, an equal amount of load is applied to the prime mover by the generator. A resistive load bank, therefore, removes energy from the complete ...

  4. Dynamometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer

    Integration of the dynamometer control system with automatic calibration tools for engine system calibration is often found in development test cell systems. In these systems, the dynamometer load and engine speed are varied to many engine operating points, while selected engine management parameters are varied and the results recorded ...

  5. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  6. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    A DC armature of a miniature motor (or generator) An example of a triple-T armature A partially-constructed DC armature, showing the (incomplete) windings In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1]

  7. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Tuning a control loop is the adjustment of its control parameters (proportional band/gain, integral gain/reset, derivative gain/rate) to the optimum values for the desired control response. Stability (no unbounded oscillation) is a basic requirement, but beyond that, different systems have different behavior, different applications have ...

  8. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    DTC has turned out to have better stability than current vector control especially when high reactive currents are required from the generator. [14] The doubly fed generator rotors are typically wound with 2 to 3 times the number of turns of the stator. This means that the rotor voltages will be higher and currents respectively lower.

  9. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...
