They help us see the derivation of words at a glance and follow their spread in different languages. The charts also show the earlier or original meanings of words that could help us understand the roots of some of our present social trends and attitudes.
The charts in this dictionary show derivation of over 9400 Persian and other Iranian words along with their cognates in Indo-European languages. Due to the exchange of words among languages, cognates in Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish and other languages are also included in these charts.

A storage system and power distribution based on capacitor capable of performing load leveling during peak demand periods on a public company (see Fig. 8). A capacitor (400) can be charged with power generated by the public company (510) during periods of low demand. Alternatively, the electric power stored in the capacitor (400) can be downloaded to the distribution grid of the public company (510) to increase the amount of electricity available for use.

During periods of low power demand charges the capacitor 400 to the electric energy generated by the utilities 510. The Further, the electric energy stored in the capacitor 400 may be discharged to a distribution grid 510 of the utility power plant in order to increase the electrical energy available.

Energy storage holds great promise in helping our grid meet the challenges it faces in the coming years as our smart, sustainable energy future continues to evolve.

Several emerging energy storage technologies are presented and their merits are compared against some recommended criteria. Some conventional storage technologies are also included in the analysis as reference points. In conclusion, a few of these technologies that are presently available or are most likely to become available in a few years, are identified.

To that end, AEP installed the first NAS battery-based, energy storage system in North America. After one year of operation and testing, AEP has concluded that, although the initial costs of DESS are greater than conventional power solutions, the net benefits justify the AEP decision to create a grid of DESS with intelligent monitoring, communications, and control, in order to enable the utility grid of the future. This report details the site selection, construction, benefits and lessons learned of the first installation, at Chemical Station in North Charleston, WV. This project could not have succeeded without the diligent support of many individuals, a great number of whom worked through weekends and even holidays to assure a successful project. The number of individuals is too great to enumerate, but they are recognized in the following groups: Employees of American Electric Power and Appalachian Electric Power, its subsidiary in West Virginia, for team support at all levels of management, planning, engineering, and field support. Employees of NGK Insulators LTD, for providing the batteries and technical support. Employees of Technology Insight, Inc. for representing NGK and providing support at all levels of the project. Employees of S&C Electric Co. for providing PCS and overall system integration. Employees of Kanawha Manufacturing Co. for providing the battery enclosures. Employees of the US DOE Energy Research Program and SANDIA National Laboratories for providing partial funding to offset non-repeat expenses of this project.

This deployment will continue to include temporary or permanent substation installations as well as CES. Storage installations will meet a variety of needs and will be tailored for the specific site and requirements. Beyond a technical solution as component of the power system, storage will also constitute a tactical component of the evolving business strategy.

Test results from field measurements involving over 120 aerial lifts show that the proposed method gives a direct measure of the contamination level. Comparisons are made as to how the total, capacitive and resistive currents are affected by the magnitude of contamination as well as the arm orientation and length of the insulating section. This paper also introduces guidelines or criteria for the arm maintenance based on its contamination current level.

However, the impact of load leveling on reducing transmission and distribution (T&D) losses is often ignored or lightly mentioned in the literature. A detailed analysis of T&D loss reduction is very specific to the
