    Change of one or more of the characteristics of an electric power system essentially without appreciable loss of power by means of electronic valve devices. [e] (electronic) (power) converter An operative unit for electronic power conversion, comprising one or more electronic valve devices, transformers and filters if necessary and auxiliaries ...

  3. Adiaphora - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiaphora

    In Cynicism, adiaphora represents indifference to the vicissitudes of life through ascetic practices which help one become free from influences – such as wealth, fame, and power – that have no value in nature. [citation needed] Examples include Diogenes' practice of living in a tub and walking barefoot in winter. [citation needed]

  4. 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 ...

    The graph on the right describes an extremely simplified system, with three committed generator units (fully dispatchable, with constant per-MWh cost): [7] unit A can deliver up to 120 MW at the cost of $30 per MWh (from 0 to 120 MW of system power); unit B can deliver up to 80 MW at $60/MWh (from 120 to 200 MW of system power);

  6. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

    Schematics of a hybrid system. A stand-alone power system (SAPS or SPS), also known as remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation.

  7. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    The symmetric three-phase systems described here are simply referred to as three-phase systems because, although it is possible to design and implement asymmetric three-phase power systems (i.e., with unequal voltages or phase shifts), they are not used in practice because they lack the most important advantages of symmetric systems.

    The electric power industry; A source of electrical energy. Electric power system, a network of electrical components used to supply, transmit and use electric power Electricity generation, the process of generating electric power from other sources of primary energy; Power station, an industrial facility for the generation of electric power

  9. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

    Early hybrid power system. The gasoline/kerosine engine drives the dynamo which charges the storage battery. Hybrid power are combinations between different technologies to produce power. In power engineering, the term 'hybrid' describes a combined power and energy storage system. [1]
