AC power

Power in an electric circuit is the rate of flow of energy past a given point of the circuit.

Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction.

Capacitor

A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores potential energy in an electric field.

Flexible AC transmission system

A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) is a system composed of static equipment used for the AC transmission of electrical energy.

Flywheel energy storage

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.

Insulated-gate bipolar transistor

An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch which, as it was developed, came to combine high efficiency and fast switching.

Microgrid

Microgrid is a localized group of electricity sources and loads that normally operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional wide area synchronous grid (macrogrid), but can also disconnect to "island mode" — and function autonomously as physical and/or economic conditions dictate.

Power electronics

Power electronics is the application of solid-state electronics to the control and conversion of electric power.

Power factor

In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit, and is a dimensionless number in the closed interval of −1 to 1.

Static synchronous series compensator

A static synchronous series compensator or SSSC is a kind of flexible AC transmission system, which consists of a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled with a transformer that is connected in series with a transmission Line.

Static VAR compensator

A static VAR compensator is a set of electrical devices for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks.

Voltage regulation

In electrical engineering, particularly power engineering, voltage regulation is a measure of change in the voltage magnitude between the sending and receiving end of a component, such as a transmission or distribution line.
