  2. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  4. Maximum power principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_principle

    Like the maximum power theorem, Odum's statement of the maximum power principle relies on the notion of 'matching', such that high-quality energy maximizes power by matching and amplifying energy (1994, pp. 262, 541): "in surviving designs a matching of high-quality energy with larger amounts of low-quality energy is likely to occur" (1994, p ...

  5. Power-voltage curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-voltage_curve

    The curve is important for voltage stability analysis, as the coordinate of the tip of the nose defines the maximum power that can be delivered by the system. As the load increases from zero, the power-voltage point travels from the top left part of the curve to the tip of the "nose" (power increases, but the voltage drops).

  6. Emergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergy

    The theoretical and conceptual basis for the emergy methodology is grounded in thermodynamics [citation needed], general system theory [2] and systems ecology. [3] Evolution of the theory by Howard T. Odum over the first thirty years is reviewed in Environmental Accounting [1] and in the volume edited by C. A. S. Hall titled Maximum Power.

  7. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    The plotted line represents the variation of instantaneous voltage (or current) with respect to time. This cycle repeats with a frequency that depends on the power system. In electrical engineering, three-phase electric power systems have at least three conductors carrying alternating voltages that are offset in time by one-third of the period ...

  8. Cummins M-series engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummins_M-series_engine

    The Cummins M-series engine is a straight-six diesel engine designed and produced by Cummins.It displaces 10.8 litres (659.1 cu in).Introduced as the M11 in 1994, it was built on the previous L10 engine (same 4.921 inches (125.0 mm) cylinder bore, but a longer 5.787 inches (147.0 mm) piston stroke compared to the L10's 5.354 inches (136.0 mm) stroke).

  9. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    For example, a maximum power point tracker is used to extract the maximum power from a solar panel and efficiently transfer it to batteries, the power grid or other loads. The maximum power theorem applies to its "upstream" connection to the solar panel, so it emulates a load resistance equal to the solar panel source resistance. However, the ...
