2. Load management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_management

   Since electrical energy is a form of energy that cannot be effectively stored in bulk, it must be generated, distributed, and consumed immediately. When the load on a system approaches the maximum generating capacity, network operators must either find additional supplies of energy or find ways to curtail the load, hence load management.

3. High-voltage switchgear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_switchgear

   Circuit breakers are essential elements of high-voltage power systems because they are the only means to safely interrupt a short circuit current. The international standard IEC 62271-100 defines the demands linked to the characteristics of a high voltage circuit breaker. [7] The circuit breaker can be equipped with electronic devices to know ...

4. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

   Circuit breakers with higher ratings can have adjustable trip settings, allowing fewer standardized products to be used, adjusted to the applicable precise ratings when installed. For example, a circuit breaker with a 400 ampere frame size might have its over-current detection threshold set only 300 amperes where that rating is appropriate.

5. Intelligent electronic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_electronic_device

   Protective relay is an example of an intelligent electronic device. In the electric power industry, an intelligent electronic device (IED) is an integrated microprocessor-based controller of power system equipment, such as circuit breakers, transformers and capacitor banks. [1]

6. Distribution management system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_management_system

   An outage management system has a network component/connectivity model of the distribution system. By combining the locations of outage calls from customers with knowledge of the locations of the protection devices (such as circuit breakers) on the network, a rule engine is used to predict the locations of outages. Based on this, restoration ...

7. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Circuit breakers or RCDs to open/close the system based on relay and autorecloser commands; Batteries to provide power in case of power disconnection in the system; Communication channels to allow analysis of current and voltage at remote terminals of a line and to allow remote tripping of equipment.
