  2. Full load hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_load_hour

    Full Load hour is a measure of the degree of utilisation of a technical system. [1] [2] [3] Full load hours refer to the time for which a plant would have to be operated at nominal power in order to convert the same amount of electrical work as the plant has actually converted within a defined period of time, during which breaks in operation or partial load operation can also occur.

  3. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

    htop displaying a significant computing load (top right: Load average:) In UNIX computing, the system load is a measure of the amount of computational work that a computer system performs. The load average represents the average system load over a period of time. It conventionally appears in the form of three numbers which represent the system ...

  4. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    A leading power factor signifies that the load is capacitive, as the load supplies reactive power, and therefore the reactive component is negative as reactive power is being supplied to the circuit. If θ is the phase angle between the current and voltage, then the power factor is equal to the cosine of the angle, cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle ...

  5. 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

  6. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    Load affects the performance of circuits with respect to output voltages or currents, such as in sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers. Mains power outlets provide an easy example: they supply power at constant voltage, with electrical appliances connected to the power circuit collectively making up the load.

  7. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    It may be used to power a remote control receiver so that when infrared or radio-frequency signals are sent by a remote control device, the equipment can respond, typically by changing from standby to fully on mode. Standby power may be used to power a display, operate a clock, etc., without switching the equipment to full power.

  8. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    The red crosses denote the most power efficient computer, while the blue ones denote the computer ranked#500. FLOPS per watt is a common measure. Like the FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second) metric it is based on, the metric is usually applied to scientific computing and simulations involving many floating point calculations.

  9. 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 ...
