Wind generation system is becoming increasingly important as renewable energy sources due to its advantages such as low maintenance requirement and mainly it does not cause environmental contamination ...

Artificial neural network–based power controllers are trained using back propagation algorithm for controlling the active and reactive power of a wind-driven double fed induction generator under ...

Let's look at key formulas that are the building blocks for the transfer of electricity: real and reactive power transfer formulas and their basics. The power triangle represents an essential building ...

Fundamentally, electrical power is developed, delivered, and consumed as voltage and current. In a simple direct current (DC) device such as a flashlight, the power (the brightness of the bulb) is the ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

Knowledge is power, allowing data centers to track and correct harmonics and power factor, avoiding costly energy waste, ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...

Heat rate is often the single most important factor in a coal-fired power plant’s economic and emissions profile. Expressed in Btu/kWh or GJ/kWh, heat rate is a measure of efficiency: the quantity of ...
