The maximum total electrical charge, expressed in ampere-hours, which a battery can deliver to a load under a specific set of conditions.
Industry:Energy
The simplest operating unit in a storage battery. It consists of one or more positive electrodes or plates, an electrolyte that permits ionic conduction, one or more negative electrodes or plates, separators between plates of opposite polarity, and a container for all the above.
Industry:Energy
Rated power of the inverter. However, some units can not produce rated power continuously. See duty rating.
Industry:Energy
Energy storage using electrochemical batteries. The three main applications for battery energy storage systems include spinning reserve at generating stations, load leveling at substations, and peak shaving on the customer side of the meter.
Industry:Energy
The action of a free electron falling back into a hole. Recombination processes are either radiative, where the energy of recombination results in the emission of a photon, or nonradiative, where the energy of recombination is given to a second electron which then relaxes back to its original energy by emitting phonons. Recombination can take place in the bulk of the semiconductor, at the surfaces, in the junction region, at defects, or between interfaces.
Industry:Energy
A device that converts alternating current to direct current. See inverter.
Industry:Energy
Prevents overcharging of batteries by controlling charge cycle-usually adjustable to conform to specific battery needs.
Industry:Energy
The chemical element commonly used as the dopant in photovoltaic device or cell material.
Industry:Energy
The amount of generating capacity a central power system must maintain to meet peak loads.
Industry:Energy
The property of a conductor, which opposes the flow of an electric current resulting in the generation of heat in the conducting material. The measure of the resistance of a given conductor is the electromotive force needed for a unit current flow. The unit of resistance is ohms.
