Actuator An actuator is a device that converts a control command into physical action. It is the output element in many control systems and is used to move, open, close, position,… Hardware Advanced Metering Infrastructure The integrated system of smart meters, two-way communication network, and data management infrastructure that enables utilities to remotely collect detailed, interval-based energy consumption data and remotely execute certain meter functions… Concept/Framework Alarm Management Alarm Management is the practice of defining and handling alarms so operators can detect and respond to abnormal conditions effectively, focusing on alarm relevance, priority, and presentation. Operations AMR A remote meter reading technology transmitting periodic consumption totals outbound from the meter using one-way radio or power-line communication, eliminating the need for manual meter reading while providing no return… Concept/Framework Antenna Reflector Antenna Reflector is a shaped surface that directs electromagnetic energy toward or away from a feed element to form a desired radiation pattern. Hardware Anti Spoof Timing Anti Spoof Timing is timing protection that detects or resists false timing signals intended to mislead a receiver or control system. Concept/Framework Battery Management System Battery Management System is the subsystem that monitors, protects, and controls battery charging, discharging, and state of charge. It keeps the battery operating within safe limits. Hardware Carrier Frequency Carrier Frequency is the central frequency of a radio signal used as the basis for modulation and transmission. It places the signal in spectrum. Concept/Framework Chemical Propulsion Chemical Propulsion is a propulsion method that generates thrust by releasing energy from a chemical reaction. It converts stored reactants into directed exhaust. Hardware Continuous Process Control Continuous Process Control is control of processes that run without discrete batch boundaries and must remain stable as conditions change over time. Operations
