2020-04-11 11:22 Network synthesis Network synthesis is a design technique for linear electrical circuits. Synthesis starts from a prescribed impedance function of frequency or frequency response and then determines the possible networks that will produce the required response. The technique is to be compared to network analysis in which the response (or other behaviour) of a given circuit is calculated. [[User:SpinningSpark|SpinningSpark]]

2020-07-06 15:59 Electricity sector in Turkey (Electricity generation, transmission and consumption in the Eurasian country) Each year about 300 TWh of electricity is used in Turkey, which is almost a fifth of the amount of primary energy in Turkey. As the electricity sector in Turkey burns much local and imported coal the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey is the country's coal-fired power stations, many of which are subsidized.
