  2. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

    A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

  3. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    A type of transmission line called a cage line, used for high power, low frequency applications. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. This example is the antenna feed line for a longwave radio transmitter in Poland , which operates at a frequency of 225 kHz and a power of 1200 kW.

  4. Distributed-element model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed-element_model

    Unlike the transmission line example, the need to apply the distributed-element model arises from the geometry of the setup, and not from any wave propagation considerations. [3] The model used here needs to be truly 3-dimensional (transmission line models are usually described by elements of a one-dimensional line).

  5. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    A diagram of an electric power system. The transmission system is in blue. Most North American transmission lines are high-voltage three-phase AC, although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. DC technology is used for greater efficiency over longer distances, typically hundreds of miles.

  6. Solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

    The power generation of such solar hybrid power systems is therefore more constant and fluctuates less than each of the two component subsystems. [128] Solar power is seasonal, particularly in northern/southern climates, away from the equator, suggesting a need for long term seasonal storage in a medium such as hydrogen or pumped hydroelectric ...

  7. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    Smaller power systems are also found in industry, hospitals, commercial buildings, and homes. A single line diagram helps to represent this whole system. The majority of these systems rely upon three-phase AC power—the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world. Specialized power systems that do not ...

  8. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    The theoretical studies are of practical use because they predict the fundamental limits of a solar cell, and give guidance on the phenomena that contribute to losses and solar cell efficiency. Band diagram of a solar cell, corresponding to very low current (horizontal Fermi level), very low voltage (metal valence bands at same height), and ...

  9. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1] [2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...
