RPS can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are some possible meanings:
- Real People Slash: A type of fan fiction that depicts a romantic and/or sexual relationship between two members of the same sex.
- Resource Planning System: A system that enables the demand-oriented planning of personnel deployment in a company. It takes over the short-term planning of personnel deployment and ensures transparency regarding the utilization and availability of individual resources, but can also support long-term planning and individual employee development.
- Renewable Portfolio Standards: Policies designed to increase the use of renewable energy. RPS set a minimum requirement for the share of electricity supply that comes from designated renewable energy resources by a certain date or year. Generally, these resources include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and some types of hydroelectricity, but they may also include other resources such as landfill gas, municipal solid waste, and ocean energy. A common feature of RPS policies is a renewable electricity credit (REC) trading system that reduces the cost to comply with the RPS.
- Revolutions per second: A unit of frequency that measures the number of complete rotations or cycles per second.
- Other meanings: RPS can also refer to different societies, schools, groups, measures, systems, companies, and organizations, depending on the context.
It is important to consider the context in which RPS is used to determine its meaning.
