The supply system for the power plant auxiliaries, including the provision of supplies to any important drives and the provision of standby supply systems. The protection and synchronizing schemes applicable to the generator circuit. 

This chapter introduces the basic items of design and specification for the principal systems and components of an electrical industrial installation. Electrical supply systems are discussed with regard to interface with the supply authorities and the characteristics. Salient features of switchgear, transformers, protection systems, power factor correction, motor control equipment and standby supplies are identified and discussed together with reference to the relevant codes of practice and standards. The equipment and systems described are appropriate to industrial plant installations operating at typically 11 kV with supply capacities of around 20MVA. 

Standby supply systems within an electrical installation provide supplies to critical loads on loss of normal power supplies. In an installation one or more of the following types of standby supply systems are likely to be found ... 

We observe that almost two thirds of the anomalies involve the reactivity control function (command of control rod positions), the containment (notably dome isolation and reactor building ventilation) and standby supplies (diesel generator sets, batteries and switchboards that they supply). The anomalies concerning sodium only involve eight events... 

In between these extremes there are numerous examples of floating devices that have more or less in common with ordinary shipping. One group comprises vessels specifically designed for standby, supply services, anchor handling, seismic or geological exploration, subsea work and so forth. These vessels may both look like...

The final specification (Table 10.4) is for an emergency power supply for a computer memory this is again a relatively small battery and the prime need is a long shelf life and the ability to work promptly on demand. Possible batteries would include secondary Ni/Cd or sealed Pb/acid or a long-life primary cell such a HgO/Cd or certain lithium cells. Table 10.4 Specification for standby supply to volatile computer memories. ... 

A rapid charge or discharge encourages the plates to buckle, and may cause permanent damage. Most batteries used for standby supplies today are equipped with constant voltage chargers. The principle of these is... 

It would be surprising to find a freshman chemistry text that fails to refer to Faraday s laws of electrolysis, or to terms such as ion" and electrode that he introduced. The electrochemist remembers him every time the symbol F appears in a numerical expression. Although he did not commercialize his discoveries of the principles of the electric motor, the dynamo, and the transformer, these discoveries led to enormous changes in our daily lives. With the appearance of practical forms of these devices the era of electricity for everyone began. Batteries were not banished today they are needed more than ever for standby supplies and for the vast amount of portable electrical equipment.
