  2. Smart grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid

    The smart grid is an enhancement of the 20th century electrical grid, using two-way communications and distributed so-called intelligent devices. [1] 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 ...

  3. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

  4. Smart market - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_market

    Without the smart market, the line operator, all generators, and all distributors would have to be part of a monopoly in order to guarantee system coordination. Natural gas markets are sometimes cleared by smart markets, [ 7 ] as in Australia [1] .

  5. 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.

  6. Alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    Alternator. Alternators made in 1909 by Ganz Works in the power generating hall of a Russian hydroelectric station (photograph by Prokudin-Gorsky, 1911). [1] An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [2] For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators ...

  7. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    Electric generator. U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas ...

  8. ISO/IEC 14443 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_14443

    ISO/IEC 14443. ISO/IEC 14443 Identification cards -- Contactless integrated circuit cards -- Proximity cards is an international standard that defines proximity cards used for identification, and the transmission protocols for communicating with it. [1][2][3][4]

  9. ACORN (random number generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../ACORN_(random_number_generator)

    ACORN (random number generator) The ACORN or ″ A dditive Co ngruential R andom N umber″ generators are a robust family of pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) for sequences of uniformly distributed pseudo-random numbers, introduced in 1989 and still valid in 2019, thirty years later. Introduced by R.S.Wikramaratna, [1] ACORN was ...
