  2. Grid balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_balancing

    The stored potential energy is later converted to electricity that is added to the power grid, even when the original energy source is not available. Grid balancing ensures that electricity consumption matches electricity production of an electrical grid at any moment. [1] Electricity is by its nature difficult to store and has to be available ...

  3. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, via a web of interconnected lines, to an electrical substation, from which is connected to the distribution system. This networked system of connections is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers.

  4. Outline of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_energy

    Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work — for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Machinery able to exploit wave power is generally known as a wave energy converter (WEC).

  5. Grid energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_energy_storage

    Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power , releasing it when needed.

  6. Grid-tied electrical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tied_electrical_system

    A grid-tied electrical system, also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is available, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall ...

  7. Electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_energy

    Electrical energy is energy related to forces on electrically charged particles and the movement of those particles (often electrons in wires, but not always). This energy is supplied by the combination of current and electric potential (often referred to as voltage because electric potential is measured in volts) that is delivered by a circuit (e.g., provided by an electric power utility).

  8. Power engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering

    Power system protection is the study of the ways an electrical power system can fail, and the methods to detect and mitigate for such failures. In most projects, a power engineer must coordinate with many other disciplines such as civil and mechanical engineers, environmental experts, and legal and financial personnel.

  9. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    A steam turbine used to provide electric power. An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area.
