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. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   A super grid or supergrid is a wide-area transmission network that is intended to make possible the trade of high volumes of electricity across great distances. It is sometimes also referred to as a mega grid. Super grids can support a global energy transition by smoothing local fluctuations of wind energy and solar energy.

4. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   Grid connected set-ups with net purchase and sale [22] All set-ups mentioned can work either on a single power plant or a combination of power plants (in which case it is called a hybrid power system). For safety, grid-connected set-ups must automatically switch off or enter an "anti-islanding mode" when there is a failure of the mains power ...

5. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   This was a 100 kW generator on a 30-meter (98 ft) tower, connected to the local 6.3 kV distribution system. It was reported to have an annual capacity factor of 32 percent, not much different from current wind machines. [citation needed] In the autumn of 1941, the first megawatt-class wind turbine was synchronized to a utility grid in Vermont.

6. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

   A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity.An MHD generator, like a conventional generator, relies on moving a conductor through a magnetic field to generate electric current.

7. Factoring (finance) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoring_(finance)

   Receivables are funded in two parts. The first part is the "advance" and covers 80% to 85% of the invoice value. This is deposited directly to the business's bank account. The remaining 15% to 20% is rebated, less the factoring fees, as soon as the invoice is paid in full to the factoring company.
