  2. Wheeling (electric power transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeling_(electric_power...

    As an economic concept, wheeling combines the traits of opposing designs of the electricity market: as a regulated public utility and a competitive market. [1] Two types of wheeling are: wheel-through, where the electrical power generation and the electrical load are both outside the boundaries of the transmission system

  3. List of IEC standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IEC_standards

    IEC 62067 Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages above 150 kV (U m = 170 kV) up to 500 kV (U m = 550 kV) – Test methods and requirements; IEC 62068 Electrical insulating materials and systems – General method of evaluation of electrical endurance under repetitive voltage impulses

  4. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations ...

  5. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.

  6. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power...

    There are three minor power grids in North America: the Alaska Interconnection, the Texas Interconnection, and the Quebec Interconnection. The Eastern, Western and Texas Interconnections are tied together at various points with DC interconnects allowing electrical power to be transmitted throughout the contiguous U.S., Canada and parts of Mexico.

  7. Current collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_collector

    Trolley pole wheel on top of the trolley pole of Twin City Rapid Transit Company No. 1300. A current collector (often called a "pickup") is a device used in trolleybuses, trams, electric locomotives and EMUs to carry electric power from overhead lines, electric third rails, or ground-level power supplies to the electrical equipment of the vehicles.

  8. Water turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

    Kaplan turbine and electrical generator cut-away view. The runner of the small water turbine. A water turbine is a rotary machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now, they are ...

  9. Flywheel storage power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_storage_power_system

    The electrical connections power low voltage motors via a DC intermediate circuit and the power converter systems are comparable to those found in plants used in the high-voltage direct current transmissions application. [2] Sometimes battery storage power stations are built with flywheel storage power systems in order to conserve battery power ...
