Variable renewable energyVariable renewable energy (VRE) or intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) are renewable energy sources that are not dispatchable due to their fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power, as opposed to controllable renewable energy sources, such as dammed hydroelectricity or biomass, or relatively constant sources, such as geothermal power. The use of small amounts of intermittent power has little effect on grid operations. Using larger amounts of intermittent power may require upgrades or even a redesign of the grid infrastructure.
Vibration isolationVibration isolation is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Vibration is undesirable in many domains, primarily engineered systems and habitable spaces, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to such systems. Vibrations propagate via mechanical waves and certain mechanical linkages conduct vibrations more efficiently than others. Passive vibration isolation makes use of materials and mechanical linkages that absorb and damp these mechanical waves.
Tour par minuteLe tour par minute (symbole ou ) est une unité pour mesurer une vitesse de rotation. L'unité de référence utilisée par le Système international d'unités (SI) pour mesurer les vitesses de rotation est le radian par seconde (symbole ou ). En anglais : revolution per minute, rotation per minute, ou rpm, voire RPM, d'où r/min, rev/min. On trouve dans des ouvrages anciens : tr/mn, tpm. tr⋅min, min, /min. Dans le SI, la fréquence est exprimée en hertz (symbole Hz). L'unité internationale de la vitesse angulaire est le radian par seconde (symbole ou ).
