energy

The rate of increase of wind strength with unit increase in height above ground level.

energy

A wind monitoring process that allows fast startup of engine driven generators in anticipation of diminishing wind strength where wind power is utilised.

energy

A group of wind turbines grouped together in one location for the generation of electricity.

energy

Power that is generated solely from the wind energy to drive electric generators by wind turbines. Wind is a renewable energy source.

energy

A tool used in the wind energy industry to simulate wind flow over terrain and estimate the long-term power production of wind turbines and wind farms.

energy

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale.

energy

Wide-area damping control is a class of automatic control systems used to provide stability augmentation to modern electrical power systems known as smart grids.

energy

In electric power transmission, wheeling is the transportation of electric energy (megawatt-hours) from within an electrical grid to an electrical load outside the grid boundaries.

energy

Also known as an "interconnection" in the USA is a large scale power grid that spans large areas and countries that are electrically connected and operating under a synchronised frequency.

energy

Wetting current is the minimum electric current needing to flow through a contact to break through the surface film resistance at a contact.[1] It is typically far below the contact's nominal maximum current rating.

energy

The wet sulfuric acid process is a key gas desulfurization processes. It is an efficient process for recovering sulfur from various process gases in the form of commercial quality sulfuric acid (H2SO4), with simultaneous production of high pressure steam.

energy

Water vapor that includes water droplets is described as wet steam.

energy

A device that remove pollutants from a furnace flue gas or from other gas streams.

energy

A wet gas is any gas with a small amount of liquid present.

energy

A wet cell battery has a liquid electrolyte.

energy

The wet-bulb temperature is the temperature read by a thermometer covered in water-soaked cloth over which air is passed.

energy

The Western Interconnection is one of the two major alternating current (AC) wide area synchronous power grids in the continental U.S. power transmission grid.

energy

A wellhead is the component at the surface of an oil or gas well that provides the structural and pressure-containing interface for the drilling and production equipment.

energy

In the petroleum industry, a well test is the execution of a set of planned data acquisition activities.

energy

Well logging, also known as borehole logging is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole.
