Power networks

In 1840 a hydrauHc power network, which involved large reciprocating pumps that were driven by steam engines, suppHed fluid power to London. However, concurrent technology in steam (qv) turbines and the electric generators outmoded such networks until hydrauHc systems were improved with the use of rotary pumps and oil. The rotary piston pump marked the transition from use of water to oil as the hydrauHc fluid (4). The use of vacuum-distilled, refined mineral oils were instmmental in the success of rotary axial piston pumps and motors such as the Waterbury variable speed gear...

This is the most common scheme in normal use for any power system with more than one feeder, connected to a common bus, such as for distribution and sub-distribution power networks, having a number of load points, controlled through a main incoming feeder. In a switchgear assembly, for instance, common protection may be provided at the incoming for a ground fault or combined 0/C and G/F protections as discussed above. In such cases, a restricted G/F protection may not be appropriate or required, as the protection now needed is sy.stem protection, rather than individual equipment proteelion. The incomer must operate whenever a fault occurs at any point on the system. Moreover, for an LT system, where it may not be desirable or possible to provide individual protection to each feeder, such a scheme is adopted extensively. 

Filter circuits suppress harmonics in a power network 23/745... 

The use of a reactor in series with the ctipacitors w ill reduce the harmonic effects in a power network, as well as their effect on other circuits in the vicinity, such as a telecommunication network (see also Section 23.1 1 and Example 23.4). The choice of reactance should be such that it W ill provide the required detuning by resonating below the required harmonic, to provide a least impedance path for that harmonic and filter it out from the circuit. The basic idea of a filter circuit is to make it respond to the current of one frequency and reject all other frequency components. At power frequency, the circuit should act as a capacitive load and improve the p.f. of the system. For the fifth harmonic, for instance, it should resonate below X 50 Hz for a 50 Hz system, say at around 200-220 Hz, to avoid excessive charging voltages w hich may lead to... 

Canada, in response to extreme concerns regarding the reliability of the rapidly developing interconnected power networks in North America. NERC is a not-for-profit corporation owned by ten regional councils, whose members come from virtually all segments of the electric power industiy. Their parent companies account for virtually all the electrical energy supplied thronghout the United States, Canada, and northern portions of Baja California, Mexico. The various regional councils arc as follows ...

Unfortunately, the gap has not been spanned by these approaches. As far as I know, only JRC Ispra has once financed a project of EWICS TC7 (European Workshop on Industrial Computer Systems, TC7, Safety, Reliability and Security, an expert group in this area), on Study of the Applicability of ISO/IEC 17799 and the German Baseline Protection Manual to the needs of safety critical systems (March 2003)(www.ewics.org) (3), where the gaps between the security standards and the safety-related system evaluation requirements have been analyzed for several sectors (medical, railways, nuclear, electric power networks) and in general. 

The installation comprises laser emitter, laser power-supply unit, water-air cooling system and guiding computer. Total weight of the installation is 40 kg consumed power is 3 kW from power network 220 V. The installation capacity reaches to 2 m per hour the distance from emitter to surface to be decontaminated can attain 1.5 m. Laser emitter is installed at a remotely operated rotator. 

The final unit segment of Mir was the Priroda module, placed in orbit in 1996— ten years after the core module, and five years beyond the planned lifetime of the station. The 42-ft long, 14-ft wide module incorporated optical systems to study the Earth resources. Lacking solar arrays, however, Priroda was unable to generate its own power, relying instead on batteries or on the Mir power network.

Williams Bio-Energy will host the industrial site for this demonstration. Williams works with Nuvera and Caterpillar to provide them with site electrical load requirements. They will prepare the site to ensure that the fuel cell system links to their power network and will supply ethanol fuel and other utilities. During the demonstration, Williams personnel will monitor and service equipment and permit visitors to witness the demonstration in comfort and safety. 

The heater is lowered into the well on a cable reinforce mechanically to withstand relatively high temperatures in liquid medium. Electric power is supplied to the heater either by hook-up to the existing industrial power network or from special movable generators. Diesel generators manufactured in Russia can be used for this work under industrial oil field conditions. 

Such changes in the structure of the ergonomics/human factors profession indeed demand different evaluation methodologies. A powerful network of individuals, for example, who can, and do, call for human factors input in a timely manner can help an enterprise more than a number of individually successful project outcomes. Audit programs are one of the ways in which such evaluations can be made, allowing a company to focus its human factors resources most effectively. They can also be used in a prospective, rather than retrospective, manner to help quantify the needs of the company for ergonomics/human factors. Finally, they can be used to determine which divisions, plants, departments, or even product fines are in most need of ergonomics input.
