A similar term to balance of system is “balance of plant (BOP)” which is generally used in the context of power engineering and applies to all the supporting components and systems of the power plant which are needed to produce the energy. These may include suitable transformers, inverters, cabling, switching and control equipment ...
In a wide area synchronous grid the short-term balancing is coupled with frequency control: as long as the balance is maintained, the frequency stays constant [4] (at the scheduled frequency), whenever a small mismatch between aggregate demand and aggregate supply occurs, it is restored due to both supply and demand being frequency-sensitive ...
Balancing is the methodical regulation of system fluid flows (air or water) through the use of acceptable procedures to achieve the desired or specified design airflow or water flow. When beginning the balance of a system, you must locate the terminal with the least amount of flow in regards to the engineer's drawing.
Energy economics, where the energy balance of a country is an aggregate presentation of all human activities related to energy, except for natural and biological processes; Energy Economics, a scientific journal published by Elsevier under its "North Holland" imprint; Energy returned on energy invested (EROEI), ratio of the amount of usable ...
A balancing authority (BA) is an entity in the US electric system (as well as in parts of Canada and Mexico) that is responsible for grid balancing: resource planning and unit commitment ahead of time, maintenance of the load-interchange-generation balance within a balancing authority area (also known as a control area) and support for real-time load-frequency control.

The U.S. hospice industry has quadrupled in size since 2000. Nearly half of all Medicare patients who die now do so as a hospice patient — twice as many as in 2000, government data shows.
In passive balancing, energy is drawn from the most charged cell and dissipated as heat, usually through resistors. Passive balancing equalizes the state of charge at some fixed point—usually either "top balanced", with all cells reaching 100% SOC at the same time; or "bottom balanced", with all cells reaching minimum SOC at the same time.
An Alabama woman "is recuperating well" after undergoing a pig kidney transplant in New York City, per reports. Towana Looney, 53, underwent surgery using the organ from a genetically manipulated ...
