By tire coiTect choice of the metal oxide/carbon ratio in the ingoing burden for the furnace, the alloy which is produced can have a controlled content of carbon, which does not lead to the separation of solid carbides during the reduction reaction. The combination of the carbon electrode, tire gaseous oxides and the foamed slag probably causes tire formation of a plasma region between the electrode aird the slag, and this is responsible for the reduction of elecU ical and audible noise which is found in this operation, in comparison with tire arc melting of scrap iron which is extremely noisy, and which injects unwanted electrical noise into the local electrical distribution network. 

Conversely, a goal to store sufficient hydrogen onboard to drive 300 miles could be too high. What if the refueling network morphology for hydrogen is based on the natural gas or electricity distribution networks,... 

Recloser (Fig. 4) is a modem power switching component, capable of breaking short-circuit currents and earth fault currents, based on data obtained from an adequate and comprehensive protection system. The utilization of Reclosers causes acceleration in handling and thus shortening of duration of a fault in the electrical distribution networks and leads to improved rehabihty of electrical energy supply. As the funds provided for replacement of section switches for Reclosers are often limited, it is necessary to proceed with replacement at the most needed places of distribution network. 

There are 12kVMV air-insulated switch-disconnectors in electricity distribution networks. These assets are located in MV/LV sub-stations and their function is to break the load current when sectioning the MV grid. 

To illustrate the implementation of remote-controlled systems within electrical distribution networks and their contribution to improvement in reli-abftity of electric energy supply to customers, we conducted an analysis of effects produced by the remote-controlled devices (Distribution substations within municipal underground system. Section switch-disconnectors and circuit-breakers in over-head hnes) to operation parameters of a selected section of the electrical distribution network in the Northern Moravia (Czech Republic). 

This electrical distribution network was subject to evaluation of three basic operation parameters (as listed below) over the recent seven years (2002 to 2008). The year 2002 actually brought the more intensive implementation of remote-controlled (RC) systems within particular regions and the consequences would be fully showed in the following years with the rising niunber of RC devices installed. The effect of such devices will be showed on the network operation parameters, the larger the number the more intense the effect. 

Figure 3 clearly shows the changing of operation parameters of electrical distribution network evaluated throughout the seven years period monitored. The table and graph herein show the following facts ... 

Therefore, the selected operation parameters of the certain section of network then show that the installation of remote-controlled systems renders the expected and desired results within the operation of electrical distribution networks. The funds invested into these systems are then easy to justify. 

As the modernization of distribution substations and the installation of remote-controlled systems within electrical distribution networks in the Northern Moravian region have not ceased, there are ftirther opportunities (with benefits) to utihse procedures and methods of the multi-criteria analysis as included within the MCA8 software. The results have actually shown that the modernizations and installations of new devices were implemented at the most convenient areas within the electrical distribution network as there has been a significant reduction of failure duration within the network resulting in improved reliabihty of the supply of electric power to customers. That fact is actually proven by the analysis of effects conducted for remote-controUed devices with respect to operation parameters of a selected section of the electrical distribution network described in the final part of this paper. 

This third type of stationary fuel cell application is split into two main sections (1) power to non-residential, commercial, buildings to provide electricity, and in many cases heat. This can be anything from an office block or convenience store and (2) distributed generation (DG) power plants providing electricity for the electricity distribution network. 

The SSR must have a power distribution network (e.g., an electrical distribution network) that must reach each of the SSR s machinery. The design of the layout and geometry of the power network must consider the variable geometry of the SSR enclosure, scaffolding, and interior space and structure. Particular consideration must be made for the zones affected by growth and shape changes.
