E-Grid 2 Week 3

One major advantage of dynamic line loading is line thermal monitoring

Reclosers are not circuit breakers

Can be installed in coordination with a recloser, allowing a permanent fault to be isolated from a recloser

Many companies continue to rely on the___for radial portions of circuits and ____for interconnected portions of circuits

Incorporation of the concepts, philosophies, and technologies that enabled the internet, into the electrical grid

The starin on the grid during peak loading and the effects of cascading best explain why we need a smart electrical grid

Daylight harvesting is using natural daylight for lighting and reducing artificial lighting from light bulbs

What one of these are not a form of energy storage

Network that allows a customer to remotely connect and control many automated digital devcies throught the home

Produces electricity by rotating a rotor at a very high speed, and then using the rotating energy to produce electricity

_______can carry as much as twice the current as its predecessors of the same size

______ means that power can flow through the circuits and equipment from either direction

The time of day when the demand for electricity is at its highest, typically late afternoon and early evening hours

It is estimated that energy consumption by lighting is the fourth biggest use of energy in the home

______ is most likely to occur durig the time of day when demand is at its peak

_____ continues to be expolred as a viable method of producing electricity where there is a plentiful supply of water

Optical Ground Wire is a shield wire installed at the bottom of structures

____ are strategically located in substations that interconnect the generators and transmission systems together

Islanding refers to a portion of the electrical system that can operate independently from the main grid

Conservation voltage reduction is the intentional lowering of system voltage to help reduce demand on the system

A smart meter will relay any price changes to the home-area-display unit which then communicates with smart appliances

maintained during times of low demand, and release short bursts of power into the grid during times of peak loading

Peaker Plants are generators that decrease operation during the peak loading times of the day, if needed

_____ can form when larger portions of circuits begin islanding

Switched __________ are automated to operate based on the conditions of the circuit

Can be quickly installed on the conductors providing valuable data for troubleshooting and localized power disturbances
