2. 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 voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

3. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

   In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1][2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...

4. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

   In electrical engineering, three-phase electric power systems have at least three conductors carrying alternating voltages that are offset in time by one-third of the period. A three-phase system may be arranged in delta (∆) or star (Y) (also denoted as wye in some areas, as symbolically it is similar to the letter 'Y').

5. Load profile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

   In electrical engineering, a load profile is a graph of the variation in the electrical load versus time. A load profile will vary according to customer type (typical examples include residential, commercial and industrial), temperature and holiday seasons. Power producers use this information to plan how much electricity they will need to make ...

6. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

   Per-unit system. In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to the other.

7. Load balancing (electrical power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(electrical...

   Load balancing (electrical power) Electrical substation. Load balancing, load matching, or daily peak demand reserve refers to the use of various techniques by electrical power stations to store excess electrical power during low demand periods for release as demand rises. [1] The aim is for the power supply system to have a load factor of 1.

8. Electrical load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

   An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1][2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power.

9. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...
