2. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

   In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

3. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

   A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.

4. Load profile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

   In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...

5. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

   In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...

6. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

   These three wires run down the service drop to the building's electric meter and service panel. Connecting a load between the hot wire and the neutral gives 120 volts, which is used for lighting circuits. Connecting both hot wires gives 240 volts for heavy loads such as air conditioners, ovens, dryers, and electric vehicle charging stations.

7. Load regulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

   is the voltage at maximum load. The maximum load is the one that draws the greatest current, i.e. the lowest specified load resistance (never short circuit); is the voltage at minimum load. The minimum load is the one that draws the least current, i.e. the highest specified load resistance (possibly open circuit for some types of linear ...
