  2. Static synchronous compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_synchronous_compensator

    In Electrical Engineering , a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt-connected, reactive compensation device used on transmission networks. It uses power electronics to form a voltage-source converter that can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC power to an electricity network. It is a member of the FACTS family of devices.

    The research on cyclist power measuring devices performed by Team Strawberry and Balboa Instruments started the trend that resulted in the more affordable Power Tap (1998, Tune Corp., purchased by Graber Products in late 2000) and Polar S-710 (2001).

  4. Cycling power meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_power_meter

    Crank arm based power meter. The small box on the rear of the left crank arm contains the strain gauges. A cycling power meter is a device on a bicycle that measures the power output of the rider.

  5. Power strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_strip

    1.1 These requirements cover cord-connected, relocatable power taps rated 250 V AC or less and 20 A AC or less. A relocatable power tap is intended only for indoor use as a temporary extension of a grounding alternating-current branch circuit for general use. National Electrical Code recognizes power strip as Multioutlet Assembly in Article 380.

  6. Flexible AC transmission system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_AC_transmission...

    The goal shunt compensation is to connect a device in parallel with the system that will improve voltage and enable larger power flow. This is traditionally done using shunt capacitors and inductors (reactors), [13] much like Power Factor Correction. The most common shunt compensation device is the Static VAR Compensator (SVC). [14]

  7. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    Generally, static VAR compensation is not done at line voltage; a bank of transformers steps the transmission voltage (for example, 230 kV) down to a much lower level (for example, 9.0 kV). [5] This reduces the size and number of components needed in the SVC, although the conductors must be very large to handle the high currents associated with ...

  8. Voltage control and reactive power management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_control_and...

    The task of additional reactive power compensation (also known as voltage compensation) is assigned to compensating devices: [7] passive (either permanently connected or switched) sinks of reactive power (e.g., shunt reactors that are similar to transformers in construction, with a single winding and iron core [ 9 ] ).

  9. Unified power flow controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Power_Flow_Controller

    A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is an electrical device for providing fast-acting reactive power compensation on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. It uses a pair of three-phase controllable bridges to produce current that is injected into a transmission line using a series transformer. [1]
