    Corona discharges represent a significant power loss for electric utilities. The corona discharge around a high-voltage coil Corona discharge from a spoon attached to the high-voltage terminal of a Tesla coil Large corona discharges (white) around conductors energized by a 1.05-million-volt transformer in a U.S. NIST laboratory in 1941

  3. Losses in electrical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_electrical_systems

    In an electrical or electronic circuit or power system part of the energy in play is dissipated by unwanted effects, including energy lost by unwanted heating of resistive components (electricity is also used for the intention of heating, which is not a loss), the effect of parasitic elements (resistance, capacitance, and inductance), skin effect, losses in the windings and cores of ...

  5. Loss of load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_load

    Loss of load in an electrical grid is a term used to describe the situation when the available generation capacity is less than the system load. [1] Multiple probabilistic reliability indices for the generation systems are using loss of load in their definitions, with the more popular [2] being Loss of Load Probability (LOLP) that characterizes a probability of a loss of load occurring within ...

  7. Generation loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_loss

    Digital generation loss induced by rotating a JPEG image 90 degrees (from top to bottom) 0, 100, 200, 500, 900, and 2000 times (without using lossless tools) Generation loss is the loss of quality between subsequent copies or transcodes of data. Anything that reduces the quality of the representation when copying, and would cause further ...

  8. War of the currents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents

    The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting ...
