A fluid such as freon that is used in cooling devices to absorb heat from surrounding air or liquids as it evaporates.
Industry:Energy
The service provided by generating units equipped and operating with automatic generation controls that enables the units to respond to the ISO's direct digital control signals to match real-time demand and resources, consistent with established operating criteria.
Industry:Energy
