Wind energy
Stability
Energy; Wind energy
Is the ability of an electric system to maintain a state of equilibrium during normal and abnormal system conditions or disturbances. Stand-alone systems are electric power systems independent of the ...
Wind power
Energy; Wind energy
Wind power is the work derived from wind to create a useful form of energy. For example, using wind turbines to generate electricity, or building wind mills to produce mechanical power. As a clean ...
Primary control reserve
Energy; Wind energy
The (positive/negative) part of the primary control range measured from the working point prior to the disturbance up to the maximum primary control power (taking account of a limiter). The concept ...
Productivity
Energy; Wind energy
Is used here as employees per output unit in fixed prices. The 2 per cent increase in productivity used as a basic assumption implies that 2 per cent less people are needed to produce the same output ...
Progress ratio
Energy; Wind energy
Is related to the learning rate (see learning rate) – if the learning rate is 15 per cent, then the progress ratio is 85 per cent.
PX
Energy; Wind energy
Is a power exchange scheduling coordinator and is independent of system operators and all other market participants.
Rated wind speed
Energy; Wind energy
Is the lowest steady wind speed at which a wind turbine can produce its rated output power.
