2. 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 ...

3. Power purchase agreement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_purchase_agreement

   A power purchase agreement (PPA), or electricity power agreement, is a long-term contract between an electricity generator and a customer, usually an utility, government or company. [1] [2] PPAs may last anywhere between 5 and 20 years, during which time the power purchaser buys energy at a pre-negotiated price.

4. Electrical load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

   An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1] [2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power. [2]

5. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

   In an electrical grid, the short circuit ratio (or SCR) is the ratio of: the short circuit apparent power (SCMVA) in the case of a line-line-line-ground (3LG) fault at the location in the grid where some generator is connected, to: the power rating of the generator itself (GMW).

6. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

   In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. . Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to t

7. Load-loss factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-loss_factor

   Multiple empirical formulae exist that relate the loss factor to the load factor (Dickert et al. in 2009 listed nine [5]). Similarly, the ratio between the average and the peak current is called form coefficient k [ 6 ] or peak responsibility factor k , [ 7 ] its typical value is between 0.2 to 0.8 for distribution networks and 0.8 to 0.95 for ...

9. Inertial response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_response

   The electrical load can have an inertia-like quality. For example, typical industrial electrical motors consume less power at lower frequencies, adding a small, but noticeable amount of inertia to the system, [9] this effect is diminishing due to switching to modern and efficient variable-speed controls that have much less inertia-like response.
