When the primary of a three-phase two-winding transformer, having its secondary wound for a three-phase open delta, is connected across an unbalanced supply system, a residual voltage across the open delta will appear. This is the principle on which this transformer is based (Figure 15.4(a)). As discussed in Section 21.2.2, and illustrated in Figure 21.7, the phasor sum of all the three line to ground voltages in a three-phase balanced system is zero, i.e. 

Since a switchyard is normally connected to more than one supply system, the ground fault current in a power station is contributed by the power plant as well as by the switchyard and the transmission networks. The following possibilities may arise ... 

The natural frequency, co associated with the mode shape that exhibits a large displacement of the pump is compared with the fundamental frequency, of the wall. If co is much less than ru, then the dynamic interaction between the wall and the loop may be neglected, but the kinematic constraint on the pump imposed by the lateral bracing is retained. If nearly equals nr , the wall and steam supply systems are dynamically coupled. In which case it may be sufficient to model the wall as a one-mass system such that the fundamental frequency, Wo is retained. The mathematical model of the piping systems should be capable of revealing the response to the anticipated ground motion (dominantly translational). The mathematics necessary to analyze the damped spring mass. system become quite formidable, and the reader is referred to Berkowitz (1969),... 

The basic reasons for grounding an electrical supply system are to limit the electrical potential difference (voltage) between all uninsulated conductive equipment in the area to provide isolation of faults in the system and to limit overvoltage on the system under various conditions. In the case of a grounded system it is essential to ground at each separately derived voltage level. 

Electrical supply systems and equipment are grounded in order to maintain the voltage at any part of the system at a known potential relative to true earth and to provide a path for current flow under earth fault conditions so that protective devices operate correctly. The connection to earth should be such that the flow of fault current to earth does not cause voltages or voltage gradients to be of sufficient magnitude or duration likely to cause danger. 

An electrical earth system comprises the provision on the supply system of an earth connection to facilitate earth fault current flow, the connecting of all exposed metalwork within the installation to a common grounding terminal and the connection of this terminal to earth. For a complete installation the principal factors which need to be considered, are ... 

The first ground-source heat pump was installed in Indianapolis, Indiana in the home of Robert C. Webber, an employee of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. It was a 2.2 kW compressor hooked to a direct expansion ground coil system in trenches supplying heat to a warm air heating system. The installation was monitored beginning October 1, 1945 and this is the first day of ground source heat pump operation documented in literature [2],... 

Advanced construction techniques would make the SPS concept more economical and could make a ground-based system more economical. Many SPS plans are based on building the framework with automated machinery supplied with raw materials, typically aluminium. Such a system could also be used for Earth stations.

Net carbon. It will be important to quantify, for various technologies and energy supply systems, the additional carbon that will be brought out of the ground to provide the energy necessary to capture and store the C02. 

Half the population of the United States relies on ground water for drinking water (Figure 1). hi 2000, more than 100 million people (over 35 percent of the population) were served by public water supply systems using ground water, and more than 40 million people (over 15 percent of the population) used self-supplied ground water, predominantly from private domestic wells (SoUey et al., 1998 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2001).
