2. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel genset) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine generator. A diesel compression-ignition engine is usually designed to run on diesel fuel, but some types are adapted for other liquid ...

3. Black start - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_start

   Black start. Toronto during the Northeast blackout of 2003, which required black-starting of generating stations. A black start is the process of restoring an electric power station, a part of an electric grid or an industrial plant, to operation without relying on the external electric power transmission network to recover from a total or ...

4. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   A tower type UPS with one IEC 60320 C14 input and three C13 outlets. A large data-center-scale UPS being installed by electricians. An uninterruptible power supply ( UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

5. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

   A common type is a photovoltaic diesel hybrid system, [51] [52] combining photovoltaics (PV) and diesel generators, or diesel gensets, as PV has hardly any marginal cost and is treated with priority on the grid. The diesel gensets are used to constantly fill in the gap between the present load and the actual generated power by the PV system. [53]

6. Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_rotary...

   Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supplydevices (DRUPS) combine the functionality of a battery-powered or flywheel-powered UPS and a diesel generator. When mains electricity supply is within specification, an electrical generator with a mass functions as motor to store kinetic energy in an electro-mechanical flywheel.

7. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery ( transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method. Consumable electricity is not freely available in ...

8. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

   Greenhouse gas emissions are one of the environmental impacts of electricity generation. Measurement of life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions involves calculating the global warming potential of energy sources through life-cycle assessment. These are usually sources of only electrical energy but sometimes sources of heat are evaluated. [ 5]

9. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

   Cogeneration or combined heat and power ( CHP) is the use of a heat engine [ 1] or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time. Cogeneration is a more efficient use of fuel or heat, because otherwise- wasted heat from electricity generation is put to some productive use. Combined heat and power (CHP) plants recover ...
