  2. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    Two-way flows of electricity and information could improve the delivery network. Research is mainly focused on three systems of a smart grid – the infrastructure system, the management system, and the protection system. [42] Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are important aspects of ...

  3. Grid computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing

    “Distributed” or “grid” computing in general is a special type of parallel computing that relies on complete computers (with onboard CPUs, storage, power supplies, network interfaces, etc.) connected to a network (private, public or the Internet) by a conventional network interface producing commodity hardware, compared to the lower efficiency of designing and constructing a small ...

  4. Microgrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

    A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A 'stand-alone microgrid' or 'isolated microgrid' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4]

    Research is mainly focused on three systems of a smart grid – the infrastructure system, the management system, and the protection system. [2] Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are important aspects of the smart grid. [3]

  6. Inverter-based resource - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter-based_resource

    An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]

  7. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are synchronized.

  8. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    Some electric railway systems also use DC power and thus make use of power electronics to feed grid power to the locomotives and often for speed control of the locomotive's motor. In the middle twentieth century, rectifier locomotives were popular, these used power electronics to convert AC power from the railway network for use by a DC motor. [38]

  9. Smart grids by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grids_by_country

    The term smart grid is most commonly defined as an electric grid that has been digitized to enable two way communication between producers and consumers. [1] The objective of the smart grid is to update electricity infrastructure to include more advanced communication, control, and sensory technology with the hope of increasing communication between consumers and energy producers.
