An amp is a measurement of the flow rate electrical current. Amps are referring to the amount of energy available per unit of time. This is volts per time. Kinda like how the showerhead in your bathroom provides a certain amount of water per minute.

The etymology (word/phrase derivation) of Amp station takes the above physical principal and pairs it to the American term for power plant -power stations- hence "Amp Station."

Hope this clears everything up!
