  2. Power-system automation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-system_automation

    The term “power system” describes the collection of devices that make up the physical systems that generate, transmit, and distribute power. The term “instrumentation and control (I&C) system” refers to the collection of devices that monitor, control, and protect the power system. Many power-system automation are monitored by SCADA.

  3. Phasor measurement unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor_measurement_unit

    Using a PMU, it is simple to detect abnormal waveform shapes. A waveform shape described mathematically is called a phasor.. A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is a device used to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of an electrical phasor quantity (such as voltage or current) in the electricity grid using a common time source for synchronization.

  4. Distribution management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_management_system

    A distribution management system (DMS) is a collection of applications designed to monitor and control the electric power distribution networks efficiently and reliably. It acts as a decision support system to assist the control room and field operating personnel with the monitoring and control of the electric distribution system.

    Gartner estimates that by 2020, more than 25% of recognized attacks on enterprises will involve IoT-connected systems, despite accounting for less than 10% of IT security budgets. [56] Existing cybersecurity measures are vastly inferior for Internet-connected devices compared to their traditional computer counterparts, [ 57 ] which can allow ...

  6. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    Solar inverters convert DC power to AC power and may incorporate MPPT. The power at the MPP (P mpp) is the product of the MPP voltage (V mpp) and MPP current (I mpp). In general, the P-V curve of a partially shaded solar array can have multiple peaks, and some algorithms can get stuck in a local maximum rather than the global maximum of the ...

  7. Smart grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid

    Smart power generation using advanced components: smart power generation is a concept of matching electricity generation with demand using multiple identical generators which can start, stop and operate efficiently at chosen load, independently of the others, making them suitable for baseload and peaking power generation. [42]

  8. Internet of things - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things

    The smart grid is a utility-side IoT application; systems gather and act on energy and power-related information to improve the efficiency of the production and distribution of electricity. [110] Using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) Internet-connected devices, electric utilities not only collect data from end-users, but also manage ...

  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.
