  2. Grid balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_balancing

    Grid balancing ensures that electricity consumption matches electricity production of an electrical grid at any moment. [1] Electricity is by its nature difficult to store and has to be available on demand, so the supply shall match the demand very closely at any time despite the continuous variations of both. [2]

  3. Grid code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_code

    A grid code is a technical specification which defines the parameters a facility connected to a public electric grid has to meet to ensure safe, secure and economic proper functioning of the electric system. The facility can be an electricity generating plant, a consumer, or another network. [1] The grid code is specified by an authority ...

    The effect of a time-varying electric field, which induces a magnetic field just as the motion of electrical charges does. display device Any device that displays data from an information system, such as a watch readout or an automatic scoreboard. dissipation The loss of energy in a system, such as dielectric loss in a capacitor. dissolved gas ...

  5. Wide area synchronous grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid

    A wide area synchronous grid (also called an "interconnection" in North America) is a three-phase electric power grid that has regional scale or greater that operates at a synchronized utility frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions.

  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 ...

  9. Transmission congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_congestion

    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 ...
