  2. Voltage control and reactive power management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_control_and...

    injection of reactive power into transmission lines causes losses that waste power, forcing an increase in power supplied by the prime mover. Use of specialized voltage control devices in the grid also improves the power system stability by reducing the fluctuations of the rotor angle of a synchronous generator (that are caused by generators ...

  3. Unified power flow controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Power_Flow_Controller

    A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is an electrical device for providing fast-acting reactive power compensation on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. It uses a pair of three-phase controllable bridges to produce current that is injected into a transmission line using a series transformer. [ 1 ]

  4. 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.

  5. Dynamic voltage restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Voltage_Restoration

    In other words, the DVR is a solid state DC to AC switching power converter that injects a set of three-phase AC output voltages in series and synchronicity with the distribution and transmission line voltages. The source of the injected voltage is the commutation process for reactive power demand and an energy source for the real power demand.

  6. Flexible AC transmission system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_AC_transmission...

    Heavily loaded lines consumed reactive power due to the line's inductance, and as transmission voltage increased throughout the 20th century, the higher voltage supplied capacitive reactive power. As operating a transmission line only at it surge impedance loading (SIL) was not feasible, [ 2 ] other means to manage the reactive power was needed.

    Torrent files are normally named with the extension.torrent. A torrent file acts like a table of contents (index) that allows computers to find information through the use of a torrent client. With the help of a torrent file, one can download small parts of the original file from computers that have already downloaded it.

    Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Saturday's 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season, reports ...

  9. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    However, due to Kirchhoff's Laws, the voltage magnitude and thus the service voltage to customers will in fact vary along the length of a conductor such as a distribution feeder (see Electric power distribution). Depending on law and local practice, actual service voltage within a tolerance band such as ±5% or ±10% may be considered acceptable.
