    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association...

    The International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers (AWIU or Insulators) is a trade union in the United States and Canada, founded in 1903. It is affiliated with the AFL–CIO and the Canadian Labour Congress and the North America's Building Trades Unions .

  3. Dispatch (logistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispatch_(logistics)

    Card systems employ a set of shelves with a slot for each unit in the dispatch fleet. Each vehicle or resource has a slot in the shelving system. In it, a card, like a time card used to track an employee's work hours, is stored. A time clock, similar to the one that stamps work hours on a time card, is used to stamp event times on each card.

  4. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    Thermal contact resistance is significant and may dominate for good heat conductors such as metals but can be neglected for poor heat conductors such as insulators. [2] Thermal contact conductance is an important factor in a variety of applications, largely because many physical systems contain a mechanical combination of two materials.

  5. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    Segments of the bus are temporarily supported by scaffolding. The interior aluminum conductors are temporarily braced for installation. The inner conductors and outer enclosure will be welded to form a unit. Inside the enclosure, the inner conductor is supported by polymer insulators; a small hatch for access to the insulator is visible.

  6. Dispatchable generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispatchable_generation

    The fastest plants to dispatch are grid batteries which can dispatch in milliseconds. Hydroelectric power plants can often dispatch in tens of seconds to minutes, and natural gas power plants can generally dispatch in tens of minutes. For example, the 1,728 MW Dinorwig pumped storage power plant can reach full output in 16 seconds. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_insulator

    An insulator of a telephone transmission line A pin insulator ceramic plate used for 20 KV lines. A pin insulator is a device that isolates a wire from a physical support such as a pin (a wooden or metal dowel of about 3 cm diameter with screw threads) on a telegraph or utility pole.

  9. Merit order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merit_order

    Economic dispatch is the short-term determination of the optimal output of a number of electricity generation facilities, to meet the system load, at the lowest possible cost, subject to transmission and operational constraints. The Economic Dispatch Problem can be solved by specialized computer software which should satisfy the operational and ...
