Class Information
Number: 60/652
Name: Power plants > Motive fluid energized by externally applied heat > Process of power production or system operation > Of accommodating, fluctuating or peak loads
Description: Process, including a procedure (1) by which the system may be temporarily made to produce power at a rate above its normal capacity; (2) by which a temporary excess of energy is stored for subsequent release; or (3) by which the operation of the system is varied as the load fluctuates to accommodate it to the load.
