power point

1. an electrical socket mounted on or recessed into a wall
2. such a socket, esp one installed before the introduction of 13 ampere ring mains, that is designed to provide a current of up to 15 amperes for supplying heaters, etc., rather than lights

PowerPoint

The de facto standard presentation graphics program for Windows and Mac from Microsoft. It is the most widely used application for creating a computer-based presentation or slide show. PowerPoint files are saved with a PPS or PPTX file extension, although the original PPS format is used for compatibility with older PowerPoint versions and viewer software.

Even If It Isn't a PowerPoint
People call any computer-based presentation a PowerPoint even if it is created in another presentation program.

Movies Are Linked
Inserting a video onto a PowerPoint slide actually only links the file, and all linked videos must accompany the PPS or PPTX presentation in order to play. Videos spice up a presentation but may be a problem sending via email as the files are very large. See presentation graphics.


Predefined Formats
Predefined templates have text boxes laid out in commonly used patterns.

Novel TPPO based maximum power point method for photovoltaic system
Maximum power point tracking is a technique used to achieve maximum power from the panel whenever the irradiance is below the required amount, this maximum power can be achieved by means of buck boost converter which has the inductor which acts as a temporary storage element for giving additional current flow in the circuit whenever there is a need.
