The amount of generating capacity a central power system must maintain to meet peak loads.
Reserve Capacity, (RC) is a battery industry rating, defining a battery's ability to power a vehicle with an inoperative alternator or fan belt. The rating is the number of minutes a battery at 80 degrees F can be discharged at 25 amps and maintain a voltage of 10.5 volts for a 12 volt battery. The higher the reserve rating, the longer your vehicle can operate should your alternator or fan belt fail.
The amount of time, in minutes, that a battery can deliver 25 amps at 80 degrees Fahrenheit without falling below 1.75 volts per cell. (10.5 volts on a 12 volt battery)
Extra generating capacity available to meet unanticipated demands for power or to generate power in the event of loss of generation.
The number of minutes which new, fully charged batteries at 80 degree F (26.7C) can be continuously discharged at 25 amperes and maintain a terminal voltage equal to or greater than 1.75 volts per cell.
Physiological or biochemical capacity that may be available to maintain homeostasis when the body or an organism is exposed to an environmental change. resistance (in toxicology): Ability to withstand the effect of various factors including potentially toxic substances. resorptive effect: Action of a substance after its resorption from the gut into the blood. IRPTC, 1982
A performance rating for automobile starting batteries. It is the number of minutes at which the battery can be discharged at 25 Amps and maintain a terminal voltage higher than 1.75 volts per cell, on a new, fully charged battery at 80degrees Fahrenheit(27C).
The portion of a class enrollment capacity that is reserved for a particular group of students. This designation appears on the schedule of classes, directly beneath each section that has a reserve capacity assigned.
The difference between the capacity of a system component (or group of components) and the maximum actual or expected demand placed upon it.
Extra treatment capacity built into solid waste and wastewater treatment plants and interceptor sewers to accommodate flow increases due to future population growth.
Capacity in excess of that required to carry peak load.
