2. Capability curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

   Due to high cost of a generator, a set of sensors and limiters will trigger the alarm when the generator approaches the capability-set boundary and, if no action is taken by the operator, will disconnect the generator from the grid. [3] D-curve expands with cooling. The D-curve for a particular generator can be expanded by improved cooling.

3. Electrical load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

   Load affects the performance of circuits with respect to output voltages or currents, such as in sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers. Mains power outlets provide an easy example: they supply power at constant voltage, with electrical appliances connected to the power circuit collectively making up the load.

4. Slack bus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_bus

   The slack bus is crucial to a load flow problem since it will account for transmission line losses. In a load flow problem, conservation of energy results in the total generation equaling to the sum of the loads. However, there still would be a discrepancy in these quantities due to line losses, which are dependent on line current.

5. Swing equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_equation

   The above equation describes the behaviour of the rotor dynamics and hence is known as the swing equation. The angle δ is the angle of the internal EMF of the generator and it dictates the amount of power that can be transferred. This angle is therefore called the load angle.

6. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

   In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

7. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

   Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid.

8. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

   In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...

9. Load bank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

   A resistive load bank, therefore, removes energy from the complete system: load bank from generator—generator from prime mover—prime mover from fuel. Additional energy is removed as a consequence of resistive load bank operation: waste heat from coolant, exhaust and generator losses and energy consumed by accessory devices.
