2. All Power Labs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Power_Labs

   In 2010, APL began to manufacture an integrated biomass gasifier-genset named the Power Pallet in 10 kW and 20 kW ratings. By the end of 2013 the sale of GEK kits and 10 kW version were abandoned along with the company's open-source distribution of its latest plans and designs, to concentrate on a 20 kW unit using a proprietary gasifier based ...

3. 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.

4. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

   All forms of electricity generation have some form of environmental impact, [1] but coal-fired power is the dirtiest. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This page is organized by energy source and includes impacts such as water usage , emissions, local pollution, and wildlife displacement.

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   It is also known as a unipolar generator, acyclic generator, disk dynamo, or Faraday disc. The voltage is typically low, on the order of a few volts in the case of small demonstration models, but large research generators can produce hundreds of volts, and some systems have multiple generators in series to produce an even larger voltage. [18]

6. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

   In an electric power system, automatic generation control (AGC) is a system for adjusting the power output of multiple generators at different power plants, in response to changes in the load. Since a power grid requires that generation and load closely balance moment by moment, frequent adjustments to the output of generators are necessary.

7. Electric power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

   The majority of the world's power still comes from coal-fired power stations like this. All power systems have one or more sources of power. For some power systems, the source of power is external to the system but for others, it is part of the system itself—it is these internal power sources that are discussed in the remainder of this section.
