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. Grid code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_code

   Typically, a grid code will specify the required behavior of a connected generator during system disturbances. These include voltage regulation , power factor limits and reactive power supply, response to a system fault (e.g. short-circuit ), response to frequency changes on the grid, and requirement to " ride through " short interruptions of ...

4. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   Electrical grids vary in size and can cover whole countries or continents. From small to large there are microgrids, wide area synchronous grids, and super grids. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the power grid.

5. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   A transmission grid is a network of power stations, transmission lines, and substations. Energy is usually transmitted within a grid with three-phase AC. Single-phase AC is used only for distribution to end users since it is not usable for large polyphase induction motors. In the 19th century, two-phase transmission was used but required either ...

6. Grid-tied electrical system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tied_electrical_system

   A grid-tied electrical system, also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is available, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall ...
