2. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to a power grid or as an emergency power supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support, and export to the power grid. [2] Diesel generator size is crucial to minimize low load or power shortages.

3. Distributed generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation

   Additionally, a California-based company, Gate 5 Energy Partners, Inc. has developed a process that transforms natural waste materials, such as sewage sludge, into biofuel that can be combusted to power a steam turbine that produces power. This power can be used in lieu of grid-power at the waste source (such as a treatment plant, farm or dairy).

4. Load-following power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-following_power_plant

   When the grid frequency is above the desired or rated value, the power being generated is fed or surplus grid power is drawn, in case cheaply available, to the battery units for energy storage. The grid frequency keeps on fluctuating 50 to 100 times in a day above and below the rated value depending on the type of load encountered and the type ...

5. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

6. Black start - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_start

   A battery starts a small diesel generator installed in a hydroelectric generating station. The power from the diesel generator is used to bring the generating station into operation. Key transmission lines between the station and other areas are energized. The power from the station is used to start one of the nuclear/fossil-fuel-fired base ...

7. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

   The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
