Capacitor bank

A capacitor bank is an assembly of power capacitor units connected in series or parallel to deliver reactive power, improving voltage profiles and power factor in power systems.

Capacitor bank switching

Capacitor bank switching is the energizing and de-energizing of shunt capacitor banks, unloaded lines, and cables on AC systems, managed to control restrike overvoltages and inrush currents.

Capacitor voltage transformer

A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), also called a coupling capacitor voltage transformer, measures high transmission voltages via a capacitor divider and can carry power-line carrier signals.

Capacity credit

Capacity credit is the fraction of a power plant's nameplate capacity that can be reliably counted on during peak demand, measured as effective load carrying capability.

Capacity factor

Capacity factor, also called plant load factor, is the ratio of a power plant's actual electricity output to its maximum possible output, usually as a percent.

Carbazole self-assembled monolayer hole-selective layers

Carbazole self-assembled monolayer hole-selective layers are single-molecule-thick films of carbazole phosphonic acid molecules (PACz family) that extract holes in inverted perovskite and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.

Carbon corrosion at fuel cell cathodes during start/stop cycling

Carbon corrosion at fuel cell cathodes during start/stop cycling is oxidation of the platinum catalyst's carbon support, driven by cathode potentials up to 1.6 V when a hydrogen/air front forms.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to gasoline

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to gasoline is the catalytic reaction of CO₂ with hydrogen to produce gasoline-range hydrocarbons, yielding a carbon-neutral fuel for existing engines without modification.
