2. Power system operations and control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_operations...

   The term power system control describes actions taken in response to unplanned disturbances (e.g., changes in demand or equipment failures) in order to provide reliable electric supply of acceptable quality. [3] The corresponding engineering branch is called Power System Operations and Control.

3. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are ...

4. Power system reliability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_reliability

   The power system reliability (sometimes grid reliability) is the probability of a normal operation of the electrical grid at a given time. Reliability indices characterize the ability of the electrical system to supply customers with electricity as needed [1] by measuring the frequency, duration, and scale of supply interruptions. [2]

5. Resilience (power system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilience_(power_system)

   So it is essential that electrical power systems (EPSs) around the world are resilient. A resilient EPS should ensure uninterrupted power supply, even in the face of minor faults and major disruptive events. It should be robust enough to be reliable and have the ability to predict and prepare for potential outages.

6. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   A large data-center-scale UPS being installed by electricians. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

7. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   In contrast, a linear power supply regulates the output voltage by continually dissipating power in the pass transistor. The switched-mode power supply's higher electrical efficiency is an important advantage. Switched-mode power supplies can also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply because the transformer can be much smaller.
