  2. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Due to high cost of a generator, a set of sensors and limiters will trigger the alarm when the generator approaches the capability-set boundary and, if no action is taken by the operator, will disconnect the generator from the grid. [3] D-curve expands with cooling. The D-curve for a particular generator can be expanded by improved cooling.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Load profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

    In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...

  5. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart) is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    It is also known as a unipolar generator, acyclic generator, disk dynamo, or Faraday disc. The voltage is typically low, on the order of a few volts in the case of small demonstration models, but large research generators can produce hundreds of volts, and some systems have multiple generators in series to produce an even larger voltage.

  7. Nameplate capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nameplate_capacity

    Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or gross capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others.

  8. Capacity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

    For a wind farm, the capacity factor is determined by the availability of wind, the swept area of the turbine and the size of the generator. Transmission line capacity and electricity demand also affect the capacity factor. Typical capacity factors of current wind farms are between 25 and 45%. [12]
