The electrical capacity of a production unit, measured at the generator terminals in megawatts
Concept by which one estimates when the moment will come when one KWH of electricity generated by solar energy will cost the same as one KWH generated with fossil fuels. Grid parity is the point at which renewable electricity is equal to or cheaper than grid power, or namely when renewable energy can produce power at the same cost as fossil fuel.
Management of the electricity grid for the dispatch of electricity from the different power stations to consumers
As electricity travels through the national grid, a proportion of energy is lost as heat due to the resistance in the lines. The greater the distance the electricity travels and the lower the voltage of the line, the higher the losses
