In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...
In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are synchronized.
e. Gateway Generating Station, a 530-megawatt combined cycle natural gas-fired power station in Contra Costa County, California. A combined cycle power plant is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy. On land, when used to make electricity the most common type is called ...

Adobe Fuse CC (formerly Fuse Character Creator) was a 3D computer graphics software developed by Mixamo that enables users to create 3D characters. Its main novelty is the ability to import and integrate user-generated content into the character creator. [1] [2] Fuse was part of Mixamo's product suite, and it is aimed at video game developers ...
Capacity credit. Capacity credit ( CC, also capacity value [1] or de-rating factor [2]) is the fraction of the installed capacity of a power plant which can be relied upon at a given time (typically during system stress), [3] frequently expressed as a percentage of the nameplate capacity. A conventional ( dispatchable) power plant can typically ...
Creative Commons Korea (CC Korea) is the affiliated network of Creative Commons in South Korea. In March 2005, CC Korea was initiated by Jongsoo Yoon (in Korean: 윤종수), former Presiding Judge of Incheon District Court, as a project of Korea Association for Infomedia Law (KAFIL). The major Korean portal sites, including Daum and Naver, have ...
A Simple-Cycle Combustion Turbine (SCCT) is a type of gas turbine typically used in the power generation, aviation ( jet engine ), and oil and gas industries (for electricity generation and mechanical drives). The simple-cycle combustion turbine follows the Brayton Cycle and differs from a combined cycle operation in that it has only one power ...
