Distribution lines

In addition, other utiUties are installing estabUshed solar cells in a growing number of tests that may lead to a mass market. The studies may indicate the extent to which solar cells can be used to avoid installation costs for new distribution lines between conventional power plants and remote customers buildings. Also, among other objectives, PV cells may provide an economical means of helping to supply demand during peak summer periods in northern climates.

Interrupting an unloaded transmission or distribution line or a cable, i.e. interrupting a line charging current, which is capacitive and may lead the system voltage by nearly 90°. 

Series capacitor - connected in series at the far end of a long transmission or FTP distribution line to offset the reactive component of the line impedance, contain the voltage drop and enhance the receiving-end voltage. It can support a transmission or distribution system in the following ways ... 

In earlier years, to reach a remote area, where. separate telephone lines had not been laid it was normal practice to rttn them through the same poles as the HT power distribution lines (generally 11-33 kV). This was particularly true of internal communications of the electricity companies for ease of operation and to save costs and time. This commitnication was known as the magneto-telephone system. But the proximity of telephone lines to power lines adversely affected the performance of the telephone lines due to generation of overvoltages (Chapter 20) and eleetrical interferences (conductive and inductive interferences, discussed later) on the telephone lines by the power lines.. Some of these interferenees, particularly system harmonics, had the same frequency as the audio frequency of the telephone lines and alTected their audio quality. 

The running of telephone lines through power lines is long discontinued. They are now run on separate structures within a city and nearby areas at audio frequency (— 0.3-3.4 kHz), and maintain enough distance from HT power distribution lines. They are therefore almost unaffected from such disturbances. Nevertheless, interferences must be kept in mind when installing these lines so that they are out of the inductive interference zone of the power lines. The latest method in the field of communications to avoid disturbances is to use underground optical fibre cables, where possible, as discussed later. Optical fibre cables are totally immune to such disturbances. 

If there are many large or small consumers that a distribution line is feeding, it is possible that the voltage of the network may be distorted beyond acceptable limits. In this case it is advisable to suppress these harmonics from the system before they damage the loads connected in the system. Preferable locations where the series inductor or the filter-circuits can be installed are ... 

Under such a condition, the line will maintain a unity p.f. at all points of the line and the reactive power generated, due to the distributed line charging capacitances (Co), is offset by the reactive power absorbed by the distributed line inductances (Lg). The generator is now not unduly stressed by the reactive power feedback, i.e. 

For ease of calculation, let us consider the impedance of the transformer as its leakage reactance, ignoring resistance and draw an equivalent circuit diagram as in Figures 24.25 (b) and (c) Assuming the length of the primary distribution line to be 15 km, the total line parameters will become...

One of the reasons why it is important to remove suspended solids in water is that the particles can act as a source of food and housing for bacteria. Not only does this make microbiological control much harder but, high bacteria levels increase the fouling of distribution lines and especially heat transfer equipment that receive processed waters (for example, in one s household hot water heater). The removal of suspended contaminants enables chemical treatments to be at their primary jobs of scale and corrosion prevention and microbial control. 

Utility companies have a power system network including large generating plants, overhead transmission lines, power substations which reduce transmission line voltages to distribution line voltages, and over-head/underground distribution lines which carry power to the end users (such as a production facility). 

Some accidents can be attributed to structural failures. On October 20, 1944, one of the four liquid gas tanks at tlie East Ohio Gas Company in Cleveland began to leak. The plant converted natural gas to tlie liquid form, which was stored for emergency use in holding tanks. If needed, tlie liquefied product could be reconverted to its gaseous state tuid fed into the city distribution lines. The tanks were constructed in 1941 and luid a capacity of more tlian 400,000 cubic feet of liquid.

The North American electric power transmission system has been described as the largest, most complex machine ever built by humanity. It is a massive network of generating stations, transmission lines, substations, distribution lines, motors, and other electrical loads all interdependently linked for the conversion, transportation, and control of electrical energy. Approximately 60 percent of all energy utilized in the United States passes through the interconnected electric power system. The major goal of the system is to most efficiently and reliably deliver electric power from generating stations to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers.

Auxiliaries are additional boiler fittings that provide controls for ease of operation. They may include additional valves (such as check valves on feed lines, nonreturn valves on steam distribution lines, and the various boiler system drain valves), gauges, connections, and devices to regulate FW, air, and fuel and to provide for the efficient production, pressure, temperature, quality, and flow of HTHW or steam. 

Carryover is the term for BW (containing some level of contaminant) that is entrained in the steam and passes into the steam header and main distribution lines. Carryover is always detrimental to the steam cycle process and produces problems of ... 

Compressed air invariably contains water and usually oil from the compressor. It is also likely to pick up dirt and rust from the distribution line. For use in the laboratory, the air must be clean, particularly if it is to be used in instruments. One laboratory operator suggested the use of corrosion resistant pipes for the air distribution system in a building. This was turned down because of its high cost. The result was a heavy load of rust which began to accumulate in air filters after only a few months of operation.

At immediate after the aerobic tank was installed the anaerobic/anoxic one whose surface area and depth were 580m and 1.5m, respectively. The theoretical HRT of the tank was 8.7days. Municipal wastewater was distributed onto the surface of the aerobic tank by using the wastewater distribution lines (Figure 3). The distributed wastewater flows vertically under gravity force. 

As one can see from distribution of Cd concentration values in deciduous trees, there are three separate sections in this line. The first one amalgamates most wood samples, excepting Aspen tree samples. The second and third parts of the distribution line consist mostly the Aspen tree samples taken from two different... 

Natural gas, unlike oil, is delivered directly to homes and businesses through local distribution lines. Large distribution lines, called mains, move the gas close to cities. These main lines, along with the much smaller lines to homes and businesses, deliver natural gas under streets in almost every city and town and account for the vast majority of pipeline mileage in the U.S.—1.8 million miles.

The pipe diameter for the main distribution lines should be hydraulically sized based on projected flow and pressure demand, but in no case less than 8 in (20 cm). Larger line sizes should be considered when there is a possibility of facility expansion. Typically the cost of installing pipe is mostly excavation cost. Increasing line size is insignificant when compared to the total cost of the project. Lines terminating at hydrants, monitors, and other protective systems should be at least 6 in (15 cm) in diameter. 

Dismantling operations will create materials that are heavy and unwieldy. Handling heavy objects will create a risk of damaging structures and equipment still in operation or intended for abandonment in place. Workers could also incur risks. The placement and use of lifting equipment must be carefully planned to minimize the possibility of boom overload, collision of a boom or load with fixed objects, and contact with energized electrical distribution lines.
