The document discusses computer memory, which can be divided into primary (main) memory and secondary memory. Primary memory is where data that is currently being processed is temporarily stored, made up of RAM and ROM semiconductor devices. It is volatile and faster than secondary memory. Secondary memory is non-volatile storage like disks where data is permanently stored even when the computer is off, and is slower than primary memory. Both types of memory store data in small binary bits within cells that each have a unique address.

TYPES OF MEMORY
Primary memory (RAM and ROM) is the working memory of a computer that holds the data and instructions currently being processed. It is volatile and has limited capacity. Secondary memory (HDD, DVD, etc.) is used for permanent storage of large amounts of data and retains data even when powered off. RAM is faster than ROM but volatile, while ROM is non-volatile but slower and used for startup processes. Primary memory is accessed directly by the CPU while secondary memory requires data to be copied to primary memory first before CPU can access it.

Computer Memory
Computer memory can be categorized into three types: cache memory, primary/main memory, and secondary memory. Cache memory is very fast semiconductor memory that acts as a buffer between the CPU and main memory, holding frequently used data and instructions. Main memory is the working memory that holds the data and instructions currently being processed, though it has limited capacity and is volatile. Secondary memory provides permanent storage of data on disks, CDs, DVDs, and is non-volatile but slower than main memory.
Types of Computer Memories
Computer memory can be divided into primary and secondary memory. Primary memory, also called main memory, is directly accessible by the CPU and includes RAM and ROM. RAM is volatile and can be SRAM or DRAM, while ROM is non-volatile and includes PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM. Secondary memory refers to non-volatile storage devices like hard drives, solid state drives, USB drives, CDs, and DVDs that are not directly accessible by the CPU.

Random access memory (RAM) is used for temporary storage of programs and data while the computer is on, and read-only memory (ROM) permanently stores basic startup instructions. Other internal components mentioned include the graphic card for displaying images, motherboard as the main circuit board, sound card for audio input/output, network interface card for internet connectivity, and internal cooling fans. The CPU has three main parts - the control unit, immediate access store, and arithmetic/logic unit for calculations.
System components
The motherboard coordinates the components and connects to the processor. The processor processes information and tasks. A heat sink cools the CPU. Storage devices like hard drives store files and operating systems. RAM chips installed in the motherboard improve system speed. The power supply provides power to the motherboard and components. Optional components include graphics cards for enhanced graphics and wireless network cards for wireless connectivity.
ICT unit p1
The CPU processes digital information and communicates with other components via the motherboard. The motherboard connects all the parts including the CPU, memory, storage devices, ports and expansion cards. It communicates with these via the BIOS which allows the hardware components to communicate. The power supply converts mains power to a form suitable to run the computer components, while fans and heatsinks keep components from overheating.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
