shunt capacitors are used in power systems since the 1910s and are popular due to low cost and relative ease of deployment. The amount of reactive power supplied by a shunt capacitor is proportional to the square of the line voltage, so the capacitor contributes less under low-voltage conditions (frequently caused by the lack of reactive power).
power-system automation The implementation of power-operated switching and control that allows automatic operation of power system elements, instead of manual operation. power-system protection The technology of limiting the spread of failures of a power system to a minimum, and of preventing permanent damage to apparatus or conductors by such ...
A distribution management system (DMS) is a collection of applications designed to monitor and control the electric power distribution networks efficiently and reliably. It acts as a decision support system to assist the control room and field operating personnel with the monitoring and control of the electric distribution system.
Power pooling is used to balance electrical load over a larger network (electrical grid) than a single utility.It is a mechanism for interchange of power between two and more utilities which provide or generate electricity [1] For exchange of power between two utilities there is an interchange agreement which is signed by them, but signing up an interchange agreement between each pair of ...
Moisture dew point is the temperature at which moisture condenses out of a gas. This parameter is inherently related to the moisture content, which defines the amount of water molecules as a fraction of the total. Both can be used as a measure of the amount of moisture in a gas and one can be calculated from the other fairly accurately.
A congestion is a symptom of a constraint or a combination of constraints in a transmission system, [3] usually the limits on physical electricity flow are used to prevent the overheating, unacceptable voltage levels, and loss of system stability. Congestion can be permanent, an effect of the system configuration, or temporary, due to a fault ...
A bound system is typically at a lower energy level than its unbound constituents because its mass must be less than the total mass of its unbound constituents. For systems with low binding energies, this "lost" mass after binding may be fractionally small, whereas for systems with high binding energies, the missing mass may be an easily ...
Energy modeling or energy system modeling is the process of building computer models of energy systems in order to analyze them. Such models often employ scenario analysis to investigate different assumptions about the technical and economic conditions at play.
