  2. Load profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

    In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...

  3. Ellman's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellman's_reagent

    This reaction is rapid and stoichiometric, with the addition of one mole of thiol releasing one mole of TNB. The TNB 2− is quantified in a spectrophotometer by measuring the absorbance of visible light at 412 nm, using an extinction coefficient of 14,150 M −1 cm −1 for dilute buffer solutions, [4] [5] and a coefficient of 13,700 M −1 cm −1 for high salt concentrations, such as 6 M ...

  4. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Demand factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_factor

    Example: If a residence has equipment which could draw 6,000 W when all equipment was drawing a full load, drew a maximum of 3,000 W in a specified time, then the demand factor = 3,000 W / 6,000 W = 0.5

  7. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    This formula was derived in 1744 by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. [2] The column will remain straight for loads less than the critical load. The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally.

  8. Maximum demand indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_demand_indicator

    Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI) is an instrument for measuring the maximum amount [clarification needed] of electrical energy required by a specific consumer during a given period of time. [1] MDI instruments record the base load requirement of electrical energy .

  9. Diversity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_factor

    The unofficial term diversity, as distinguished from diversity factor, refers to the percent of time available that a machine, piece of equipment, or facility has its maximum or nominal load or demand; a 70% diversity means that the device in question operates at its nominal or maximum load level 70% of the time that it is connected and turned on.
