  2. Operating reserve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_reserve

    An idealized representation of the four kinds of reserve power and the time intervals after an unexpected failure that they are in use. [1]In electricity networks, the operating reserve is the generating capacity available to the system operator within a short interval of time to meet demand in case a generator goes down or there is another disruption to the supply.

  3. Ancillary services - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary_services

    An operating reserve is a generator that can quickly be dispatched to ensure that there is sufficient energy generation to meet load. Spinning reserves are generators that are already online and can rapidly increase their power output to meet fast changes in demand. Spinning reserves are required because demand can vary on short timescales and ...

  4. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed.For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz.

  5. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    The sequence of events is similar for manual or automatic synchronization. The generator is brought up to approximate synchronous speed by supplying more energy to its shaft - for example, opening the valves on a steam turbine, opening the gates on a hydraulic turbine, or increasing the fuel rack setting on a diesel engine.

  6. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    In order to be able to continue the operation as quickly as possible an active crowbar [16] has to be used. The active crowbar can remove the rotor short in a controlled way and thus the rotor side converter can be started only after 20–60 ms from the start of the grid disturbance when the remaining voltage stays above 15% of the nominal voltage.

  7. Dispatchable generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispatchable_generation

    the gas turbine can start in 15-30 minutes; the steam turbine (ST) heating process takes from 1 hour (for hot startup) to 6 hours (for cold startup); ST load increase takes additional 20 minutes (if "hot") to 2 hours ("cold"). Nuclear power plants have the longest startup times of few days for the cold startup (less than a week).

  9. 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.
