It is measured in 'volt-amperes' and often expressed in 'kilovolt-amperes' (kVA) or 'megavolt-amperes' (MVA). It comprises both active and reactive power. Such services may include load regulation, spinning reserve, non-spinning reserve, replacement reserve, and voltage support.Īpparent power: The product of the voltage (in volts) and the current (in amperes).

NERC definitionĪdjustment bid: A bid auction conducted by the independent system operator or power exchange to redirect supply or demand of electricity when congestion is anticipated.Īggregator: Any marketer, broker, public agency, city, county, or special district that combines the loads of multiple end-use customers in negotiating the purchase of electricity, the transmission of electricity, and other related services for these customers.Īll-electric vehicle: See Battery Electric Vehicle.Īmpere: The unit of measurement of electrical current produced in a circuit by 1 volt acting through a resistance of 1 Ohm.Īncillary services: Services that ensure reliability and support the transmission of electricity from generation sites to customer loads. Measurements below 7 indicate increased acidity, while those above indicate increased alkalinity.Īdequacy (electric): The ability of the electric system to supply the aggregate electrical demand and energy requirements of the end-use customers at all times, taking into account scheduled and reasonably expected unscheduled outages of system elements. A pH measurement of 7 is regarded as neutral. The term pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity and ranges from 0 to 14. Normal rain has a pH of about 5.6, which is slightly acidic. It can be wet precipitation (rain, snow, or fog) or dry precipitation (absorbed gaseous and particulate matter, aerosol particles or dust). Acid rain: Also called acid precipitation or acid deposition, acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids formed primarily by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned.
