Intermittent power source — [ Erie Shores Wind Farm monthly output over a two year period] An intermittent power source is a source of electric power generation that may be uncontrollably variable or more intermittent than conventional power sources, and therefore non… … Wikipedia
Electrical machine — is a device that convert either mechanical energy to electrical energy or vice versa, and change AC voltage from one level to another level.Electrical machines are divided into three parts:GeneratorGenerator is the device that converts mechanical … Wikipedia
Power over Ethernet — or PoE technology describes a system to transfer electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted pair cable in an Ethernet network. This technology is useful for powering IP telephones, wireless LAN access points,… … Wikipedia
Power factor — For other uses, see Power factor (pistol). The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load over the apparent power in the circuit,[1][2] and is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1… … Wikipedia
Power supply — For the Budgie album, see Power Supply (album). A vacuum tube rackmount adjustable power supply, capable of +/ 1500 volts DC, 0 to 100mA output, with amperage limiting capability. A power supply is a device that supplies electrical energy … Wikipedia
Electrical generator — In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor … Wikipedia
