  2. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    However, once the generator's operating point reaches the corners of the D-curve, increasing the reactive power output will require reduction of the real (active) power. Since the electricity markets payments are typically based on real power, the generating company will have a disincentive to provide more reactive power if requested by the ...

  3. 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 Voltage, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

  4. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    [1]: 3 The portion of instantaneous power that results in no net transfer of energy but instead oscillates between the source and load in each cycle due to stored energy is known as instantaneous reactive power, and its amplitude is the absolute value of reactive power.

  5. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    Electrical loads consuming alternating current power consume both real power and reactive power. The vector sum of real and reactive power is the complex power, and its magnitude is the apparent power. The presence of reactive power causes the real power to be less than the apparent power, and so, the electric load has a power factor of less ...

  6. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

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

    SCR is used to quantify the system strength of the grid (its ability to deal with changes in active and reactive power injection and consumption). [1] On a simplified level, a high SCR indicates that the particular generator represents a small portion of the power available at the point of its connection to the grid, and therefore the generator ...

  7. Voltage control and reactive power management - Wikipedia

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

    Since the reactive power does not travel over the wires as well as the real power, [19] there is an incentive to concentrate its production close to the load. Restructuring of electric power systems takes this area of the power grid out of hands of the integrated power utility , so the trend is to push the problem onto the customer and require ...

  8. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    The red curve shows the power in the load, normalized relative to its maximum possible. The dark blue curve shows the efficiency η. The efficiency η is the ratio of the power dissipated by the load resistance R L to the total power dissipated by the circuit (which includes the voltage source's resistance of R S as well as R L):

  9. Slack bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_bus

    However, power will be flowing out, thus, the real power and reactive power will be both negative. The Load Bus will be used to find the bus voltage and angle. PV bus – the real power | | and the voltage magnitude | | are specified. It is also known as Generator Bus. The real power and voltage are specified for buses that are generators.
