Power Systems]
Electric Service Provider
(ESP): An entity that provides electric service to a retail or
end-use customer. [DOE
Glossary of Electricity Terms] Electricity Sales Contract - Electricity sale contract covering a period of energy delivery that is not shorter than 1 day, with the volume of energy fixed for each basic trading period of 1 hour. Electric Power Research Institute: See EPRI Electronic Commerce: The transaction of business through on-line technologies including the Internet Electronic Mail (e-mail): A method of sending messages and attached files to anyone in the world with an e-mail address. Element: any electric al device with terminals that may be connected to other electrical devices such as a generator, transformer, circuit breaker, bus section, or transmission line. An element may be comprised of one or more components. (NERC "Terms and Their Definitions As Used in the NERC Planning Standards") E-mail Address: The address that identifies an electronic post office box where e-mail messages can be sent. All modern e-mail messages have the form UserName@domainAddress. E-mail Client: A program that allows you to send and receive e-mail. Popular e-mail clients include Eudora, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator. include Eudora, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator. Emergency Network Operating Conditions - Operating conditions of the equipment, installations and systems expected by the transmission system operator with an emergency outage of the specific grid elements. Emoticon: Characters that are meant to be viewed sideways that reflect the emotional state of the writer of the message. Because electronic mail does not allow for body language or other emotional clues, emoticons are very useful. Common emoticons are:
EMS (Energy Management System): used for analyzing the electric power transmission system and for automatic control of generation for load following. Encoding: A method of converting a message into digital data. Text is character encoded using; e.g., ASCII, cyrillic encoding, or Unicode. Non-text uses UUencode or MIME encoding. Encryption: The conversion of data into a secret code meant to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information transferred over the Internet or other network. Encryption relies on passwords or code keys for conversion. Popular encryption methods are PGP and SSL. Unencrypted data is called plain text; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text. End-Use Customer - Customer that consumes in its own ends all the purchased energy.
Energy: The capacity for doing work as
measured by the capability of doing work (potential energy) or the
conversion of this capability to motion (kinetic energy). Energy has
several forms, some of which are easily convertible and can be changed
to another form useful for work. Most of the world's convertible
energy comes from fossil fuels that are burned to produce heat that is
then used as a transfer medium to mechanical or other means in order
to accomplish tasks. Electrical energy is usually measured in
kilowatthours, while heat energy is usually measured in British
thermal units. [DOE
Glossary of Electricity Terms] Energy Supply and Delivery Curtailments - Curtailments applied to consumption of energy by customers (industrial ones in the first place) with a deficit of capacity or energy and in case of disturbance or a state of emergency in the power system. Enterprise Architecture - An Enterprise Architecture is a well-defined set of data structures, system components and processes that enable interoperability between diverse business entities across a wide set of domains. Environment: In the IntelliGrid Architecture, an Environment is a "domain" which is characterized by a common set of communication and information requirements. EPRI: Electric Power Research Institute was founded in 1973 as a non-profit energy research consortium for the benefit of utility members, their customers, and society. Their mission is to provide science and technology-based solutions of indispensable value to our global energy customers by managing a far-reaching program of scientific research, technology development, and product implementation. http://www.epri.com/ Equivalent load center: The equivalent load center is the site where the load of the distribution transformer is connected and is distanced from the secondary bus of the distribution transformer by a nominal secondary voltage drop value. E-text: The full text of a document available in electronic format. Ethernet: A network standard first developed by Xerox, and refined by DEC and Intel (DIX). Ethernet interconnects personal computers and transmits at 10 Mbps. It uses a bus topology. The access mechanism is CSMA/CD. Today the term Ethernet includes 10 (Ethernet)/100 (Fast Ethernet)/1000 (Gigabit Ethernet) Mbps technologies and the IEEE 802.3 standard. . Excitation Control System - Set of equipment for control (through a change of the excitation current) of voltage or reactive power seen at terminals of the generating unit. Expected Unserved Energy (EUE) - LOLP measures the instance of load being greater than the generation and other dispatchable resources available to meet it. EUE measures at each such occurrence the amount of load that went unserved, the total kilowatt-hours of outages that resulted.
