    Under the WAEC Marking and Grading Scheme, the letters A to F indicate how good a result is (while the numbers 1-9 are only used to rank the grades). In other words, To get an A1 in a subject, WASSCE Mathematics, for example, you need to score at least 75%.

  3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    In electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another. A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). It can also change the voltage or frequency of the current.

    WAEC Headquarters, Abuja WAEC office, Ogba, Lagos. The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is an examination board established by law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in the English-speaking West African countries, to conduct the examinations and to award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally.

  5. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    Power factor correcting capacitors can be added externally to neutralize a constant amount of the variable reactive excitation current. After starting, an induction generator can use a capacitor bank to produce reactive excitation current, but the isolated power system's voltage and frequency are not self-regulating and destabilize readily.

  6. International General Certificate of Secondary Education

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_General...

    The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an English language based secondary qualification similar to the GCSE and is recognised in the United Kingdom as being equivalent to the GCSE for the purposes of recognising prior attainment. [1] It was developed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.

  7. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

    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 grid requires that generation and load closely balance moment by moment, frequent adjustments to the output of generators are necessary.

  8. Direct energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

    The conversion is based on a Traveling-Wave Direct Energy Converter (TWDEC). A gyrotron converter first guides fusion product ions as a beam into a 10-meter long microwave cavity filled with a 10-tesla magnetic field, where 155 MHz microwaves are generated and converted to a high voltage DC output through rectennas.

  9. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    A power station, also known as a power plant or powerhouse and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility that generates electricity. Most power stations contain one or more generators, or spinning machines converting mechanical power into three-phase electrical power.
