Counter-drone technologies generally fall into two categories : detection and mitigation. Detection technologies include infrared devices to track heat signatures, radio frequency detection for signals from a drone's remote controller, and acoustic methods to recognize the unique sounds of drone motors. Mitigation technologies are those that can repel or intercept a drone. For example, interference signals can jam the communications between the drone and its operator. Other technologies can try to net the drone, shoot it down, or disable it using trained hawks. 1, record 1, English, - counter%2Ddrone%20technology

Maintaining a near-constant load on the turbine generates stable voltage and frequency. The controller compensates for variation in the main load by automatically varying the amount of power dissipated in a resistive load, generally known as the "ballast" or "dump load, "in order to keep the total load on the generator and turbine constant. Water heaters are generally used as ballast loads. 4, record 4, English, - dump%20load

Le maintien d'une charge presque constante à la turbine permet à la génératrice de produire un courant dont la tension et la fréquence sont stables. Le régulateur compense toute variation dans les charges principales en modifiant automatiquement la quantité d'électricité dissipée dans une charge résistive, généralement appelée «charge de délestage» ou «charge de lissage», afin de maintenir constante la demande totale exigée de la génératrice et de la turbine.
