Before aetually designing the power system, the designer should develop the power system design speeifieation. The design speeifieation aets as the perfor-manee goal that the ultimate power supply must meet in order for the entire produet to meet its overall performanee speeifieation. Onee developed, it should be viewed as a semi-firm doeument and should only be ehanged after the needs of the produet formally ehange. 

Electric Power System Design For specific applications, fuel cells can be used to supply DC power distribution systems designed to feed DC drives such as motors or solenoids, controls, and other auxiliary system equipment. The goal of the commercial fuel cell power plant is to deliver usable AC power to an electrical distribution system. This goal is accomplished through a subsystem that has the capability to deliver the real power (watts) and reactive power (VARS) to a facility s internal power distribution system or to a utility s grid. The power conditioning...

With the onset of the computer age and the increasing trend toward miniaturization of electrical and electronic devices, power quality problems have taken on increasing importance. The designers of computers and microprocess controllers are not versed in power system power quality issues. By the same token, power system designers and operators have limited knowledge of the operation of sensitive electronics. This environment has led to a need for power quality standards and guidelines. Currently,...

The sixth and final step of the whole process should always be the evaluation and interpretation of the analysis results. Undoubtedly, the first priority for a power system designer is to have a power system that is always able to serve power demand, but the overall system cost should be also taken into account. Sometimes the system designer might choose to have a small amount of annual capacity shortage (less than 1%) if the system needs to be overdimensioned in order to serve such a small amount of energy, which will reflect a significant increase in total power system cost. 

It should be noted that a UPS on an important plant, such as a production platform, is in a critical situation. It must function in a very reliable manner otherwise the cost of lost oil or gas production will be very high in relation to the cost of all the components in the UPS system that are umeliable. If the umeliabihty is due to poor coordinations of protective devices then the marginal factors described above may need to be reviewed, or better still applied in the early stages of the power system design. 

The equivalent circuits such as those in Figures 5.1 and 15.11 cannot be used for this type of study, and the more precise d-q axes equations involving the stator flux linkages must be used, see Reference 5. These equations would be more useful to the motor designer than the power system designer, where he is concerned with the stresses, strains and materials used in the construction of the motor windings, shafts, couplings and their keys. 

The Nil-Ductility Transition (NDT) temperature, which is the temperature at which a given metal changes from ductile to brittle fracture, is often markedly increased by neutron irradiation. The increase in the NDT temperature is one of the most important effects of irradiation from the standpoint of nuclear power system design. For economic reasons, the large core pressure vessels of large power reactors have been constructed of low carbon steels.

Generic Safety Issue (GSI) B-53 in NUREG-0933 (Reference 1) addresses the use of load break switches or circuit breakers in some onsite/ offsite power system designs and their reliability with respect to the requirement identified in GDC 17 (Reference 2) to provide power from the offsite transmission grid to all station vital loads on a loss of all onsite power via at least two separate circuits,one of which must be immediately accessible. 

There are a number of tradeoffs with regard to facility AC power system design. An experienced, licensed electrical contractor and/or registered professional engineer should be consulted during the early stages of any renovation or new construction project.

EMG potentials are today largely used as control inputs for myoelectrically based powered systems designed for different body parts. Focusing our attention on the hand, the hterature offers a large number of studies concerned with EMG controlled hand orthoses (see, for instance, [23-25]), in addition to the equally relevant (although not of interest in this chapter) hand prostheses (see, for instance, [26-28]).

The DET power system designers believe that for optimum system reliability, the minimum solar-array size should consist of 110 strings in parallel and 63 cells in series per string, which will involve a minimum of 6,930 solar cells. These solar cells will limit battery charge current to approximately 5.52 amperes.

Apart from the generic reactor coolant pump seal question, station blackout frequencies at PWRs are determined by the plant-specific electric power system design and the design of other support systems. Battery depletion times for the three PWRs were projected to be shorter than for the two BWRs. A particular characteristic of the Surry plant is a gravity-fed service water system with a canal that may drain during station blackout, thus failing containment heat removal. When power is restored, the canal must be refilled before containment heat removal can be restored.
