| + | Power Flow Overloaded Network - Bloomberg</ | ||

| + | frequently&# | ||
| + | caused by renewable energy from Germany, jeopardizing the | ||
| + | security of the network, grid operator CEPS said. The most | ||
| + | critical situation occurred in the period between Nov. 25 and | ||
| + | Dec. 16 when unscheduled power flows amounted to 3,500 | ||
| + | megawatts while the usual value is about 1,000 megawatts, the | ||
| + | Czech operator said in a statement today on its website. The | ||
| + | near-emergency situation in the network was mainly caused by | ||
| + | excessive power output from German wind farms on windy days. | ||
| + | The shutdown of German nuclear plants, the rise of installed | ||
| + | capacity in photovoltaic power plants in Germany and intensive | ||
| + | power trading on spot markets also played a part in the | ||
| + | network overloads, CEPS (PCZPBL01) said. CEPS has implemented | ||
| + | measures to identify and predict such situations and said the | ||
| + | risk of the recurrence of such situations in the future still | ||
| + | persists and the transmission networks in the region must be | ||
| + | reinforced as quickly as possible, it said. The country may | ||
| + | have to install transformers at the borders to protect the | ||
| + | grid at a cost of 2 billion koruna ($99 million), CEPS chief | ||
| + | Vladimir Tosovsky told reporters at a press conference in | ||
| + | Prague today, newswire CTK reported. CEPS already plans to | ||
| + | invest 3.5 billion koruna in the network in 2012, the newswire | ||

| + | Questions and Answers 1</ | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | Connections At service equipment the NEC permits the grounded | ||
| + | (neutral) conductor, the equipment enclosure, and the | ||
| + | grounding electrode conductor to all terminate together. Is it | ||
| + | permissible to land the equipment grounding conductors on the | ||
| + | neutral bus bar with the grounded (neutral) conductors, or am | ||
| + | I required to set a ground bar for the equipment grounding | ||
| + | conductors? A1: Equipment grounding conductors can terminate | ||
| + | on the same terminal bar with the grounded (neutral) | ||
| + | conductors, but this is only permitted if the panelboard is | ||
| + | rated service equipment and it is used as service equipment in | ||
| + | accordance with 230.71(A). However, each grounded (neutral) | ||
| + | conductor must terminate within the panelboard in an | ||
| + | individual terminal [408.21]. // Grounding Remote Building and | ||
| + | Structures NEC 250.32 allows the grounded (neutral) circuit | ||
| + | conductor supplying a second building to be bonded to the | ||
| + | equipment grounding conductor at the remote building. | ||
| + | grounding electrode system of the second building. If the two | ||
| + | buildings are electrically connected via a conductive path, | ||
| + | such as the shielding of a coax cable or water pipe, this | ||
| + | would provide an alternate path for neutral current to flow | ||
| + | during normal operation (like resistors in parallel). Is this | ||
| + | a trivial concern? Do you know of any problems that can arise | ||
| + | from such a situation such as GFI relays in the main service? | ||
| + | All those whom I have discussed this with have dismissed it as | ||
| + | trivial. They site residential houses connected via a common | ||

| + | often use the following color system for power and lighting | ||
| + | conductor identification: | ||
| + | black, red and white • 120/208V, three-phase wiring — black, | ||

| + | the grounded side for neutrals, the wires have to be white or | ||
| + | gray. Buc prefers white at 120/240 (208) and gray for 277/480 | ||
| + | circuits. Green or bare wire is always the grounding | ||
| + | conductor. Personally, Buc specifies the latter 277/480 color | ||
| + | grouping; that removes the &# | ||
| + | confusion. Why? Orange is the only specified ungrounded | ||
| + | conductor and marks the &# | ||
| + | neutral delta configuration. For those unfamiliar: In wild leg | ||
| + | configuration, | ||
| + | provide 120 volts to neutral, but on the wild leg you will | ||
| + | find nearly 208 volts to the neutral. If you see an orange | ||

| + | world as we know it. That&# | ||
| + | is saying to itself these days. And they aren&# | ||
| + | some Mayan doomsday nonsense. On Jan. 1 the federal production | ||
| + | tax credit on wind investments expires. For the past 20 years | ||
| + | the credit has offset about 30% of the cost of building wind | ||
| + | turbines. Add to that the &# | ||
| + | green energy mandated by 29 states, and as a result we&# | ||
| + | wind farms spring up across the country. Since 2007 nearly 40% | ||
| + | of all the new electricity capacity built in this country has | ||
| + | been wind. Wind now generates roughly 3.5% of U.S. | ||
| + | electricity. Don&# | ||
| + | level any time soon. The end of the tax credit could very well | ||
| + | mean the end of the wind industry. According to the federal | ||
| + | Energy Information Administration, | ||
| + | wind power (including capital and operating costs) is 8.2 | ||
| + | cents per kWh. Advanced clean-coal plants cost about 11 cents | ||
| + | per kWh, the same as nuclear. But advanced natural gas-burning | ||
| + | plants come in at just 6.3 cents per kWh. But it could be | ||
| + | getting a lot worse for wind. A fascinating new report by | ||
| + | George Taylor and Tom Tanton at the American Tradition | ||
| + | Institute called &# | ||

| + | grounding is named after a consultant working for the US Army | ||
| + | during World War II. The technique Mr. Ufer came up with was | ||
| + | necessary because the site needing grounding had no | ||
| + | underground water table and little rainfall. The desert site | ||
| + | was a series of bomb storage vaults in the area of Flagstaff, | ||
| + | Arizona. The principle of the Ufer ground is simple, it is | ||
| + | very effective and inexpensive to install during new | ||
| + | construction. The Ufer ground takes advantage of concrete&# | ||
| + | properties to good advantage. Concrete absorbs moisture | ||
| + | quickly and looses moisture very slowly. The mineral | ||
| + | properties of concrete (lime and others) and their inherent pH | ||
| + | means concrete has a supply of ions to conduct current. The | ||
| + | soil around concrete becomes " | ||
| + | result, the pH of the soil rises and reduces what would | ||
| + | normally be 1000 ohm meter soil conditions (hard to get a good | ||
| + | ground). The moisture present, (concrete gives up moisture | ||
| + | very slowly), in combination with the " | ||
| + | good conductor for electrical energy or lightning currents. | ||
| + | Ufer techniques are used in building footers, concrete floors, | ||
| + | radio and television towers, tower guy wire anchors, light | ||
| + | poles, etc. Copper wire does not function well as a " | ||
| + | ground due to the pH factor of concrete (+7pH is common). The | ||
| + | use of steel reinforcement as a " | ||
| + | concrete does not chip or flake as has been found with copper. | ||
| + | The use of copper wire tied to the reinforcement rods outside | ||
| + | the concrete shows none of these problems.</ | ||

| + | from a GE transformer connections book copy righted in 1970. | ||
| + | Y-Y connected transformers, | ||
| + | units, are not capable of supplying an appreciable | ||
| + | single-phase load from line to neutral without a serious shift | ||
| + | in the position of the neutral, owing to the fact that the | ||
| + | corresponding primary currents of such loads, flowing through | ||
| + | the primaries of the unloaded phases, magnetize them. This | ||
| + | statement is primarily true for Y-Y connected single-phase | ||
| + | units and shell-type three-phase units. Core-type units, | ||
| + | however, may, on account of the interlinking of the magnetic | ||
| + | fluxes in the three legs, give tolerably good results under | ||
| + | conditions of single-phase loads from line to neutral or | ||
| + | unbalanced electrostatic charging currents. // The wye-wye- is | ||
| + | used under the same condition and to supply the same mixed | ||
| + | distribution loads as the delta-wye connection. The division | ||
| + | of load between transformers is also similar to t hat of the | ||
| + | delta-wye. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN MAKING THE WYE-WYE | ||
| + | CONNECTION TO MAKE SURE THAT A WIRE CONNECTS PRIMARY BANK AND | ||
| + | PRIMARY CIRCUIT NEUTRALS. iF NOT, TWO PRIMARY WINDINGS WILL BE | ||
| + | IN SERIES BETWEEN EACH TWO PHASE WIRES. Current into a | ||
| + | transformer from its phase wire can return only through the | ||
| + | other two phase since there is no neutral return. Thus , the | ||
| + | wye-wye without connected primary bank and primary source | ||
| + | neutrals can operate satisfactorily only when the load is | ||
| + | EXACTLY balanced between each phase and neutral on the | ||
| + | secondary with equal phase to neutral voltages. Only then will | ||
| + | the vector sum of the phase currents add up to zero at the | ||
| + | neutral point so that the return current equal zero.</ | ||

| + | Stanley Consultants was selected by the Liberia Electricity | ||
| + | Corporation (LEC) as the design engineer for the new Mount | ||
| + | Coffee 64 MW hydropower project on the St. Paul River in | ||
| + | Liberia, West Africa. Upon completion, it was named the Walter | ||
| + | F. Walker Hydro Dam and contained four vertical hydroelectric | ||
| + | generating units, 3 earth-filled dam sections, 10 flood | ||
| + | control gates, and a 69 kV substation and transmission line. | ||
| + | This facility became the country' | ||
| + | electricity. This facility operated successfully until 1990 | ||
| + | when the National Patriotic Front of Liberia took control of | ||
| + | the project site during the First Liberian Civil War and did | ||
| + | not permit LEC to open the tainter gates during high water | ||
| + | events. Eventually, the earth-filled dam was overtopped and | ||
| + | destroyed. Since then, the powerhouse has been vandalized, | ||
| + | looted and all mechanical and electrical systems have been | ||
| + | destroyed, leaving only the concrete substructure, | ||
| + | superstructure and steel penstocks. In 2007, Stanley | ||
| + | Consultants was again retained by LEC to determine the | ||
| + | feasibility of restoring the facility and to research the | ||
| + | project' | ||
| + | A damage assessment study and field observations were | ||
| + | performed on the dam in the areas of civil, geotechnical, | ||
| + | hydro-mechanical, | ||

| + | Million for Hydro - Liberia Begins Borrowing Again</ | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | Monrovia that the Government of Liberia and the European | ||

| + | worth US$65 million to finance the Mount Coffee Hydro. Liberia | ||
| + | is expected to pay back the money in 20 years at the interest | ||
| + | rate of 1.4 percent, meaning the country will have to pay | ||
| + | about US$73 million. Liberia only three years ago graduated | ||
| + | from a mammoth debt burden of at least US$5 billion, an amount | ||
| + | the country would never pay back in generations. Konneh said | ||
| + | the loan will enable government starts the renovation process | ||
| + | of the Mount Coffee Hydro which was destroyed more than 20 | ||
| + | years ago as result of the Liberian civil war. The hydro | ||
| + | powered the capital and its environs, but was systematically | ||
| + | looted during the war years. According to Konneh, a total of | ||
| + | US$200 million is needed to complete the renovation work on | ||
| + | the Hydro. In the same vein, he said Germany and Norway will | ||
| + | give to Liberia in grant the amount of US$35 million and US$75 | ||
| + | million respectively as support to rebuild the Hydro, while | ||
| + | Liberia will make an annual contribution of US$15 million | ||
| + | towards the project. Konneh noted that the Hydro, when | ||
| + | rebuilt, will produce about 80 megawatt of electricity, | ||
| + | something he said will be bigger than 20 [64] megawatts it | ||
| + | produced prior to its destruction. // The Mount Coffee Hydro | ||
| + | is expected to be completed in three years. It is also | ||
| + | expected by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf that the hydro | ||
| + | will be officially turned on December 20, 2015.</ | ||

| + | Corporation (NERC) is approved, the vibrating reed meter may | ||
| + | be making a comeback. While utility companies have prided | ||
| + | themselves on maintaining accuracy, NERC is proposing a | ||
| + | year-long experiment to allow the frequency to drift, and see | ||
| + | if any problems result. It says the upside of looser | ||
| + | tolerances would be a more reliable grid and reduced operating | ||
| + | costs to the utilities. At the heart of the matter is a Time | ||
| + | Error Correction (TEC). As the line frequency drifts, the | ||
| + | electric companies intentionally create an &# | ||
| + | opposite direction. But here&# | ||
| + | Since most electric power producers are also connected to | ||
| + | other electric power producers, they all have to make a TEC at | ||
| + | the same time. Thus, everyone agrees to NOT try to achieve the | ||
| + | normal goal of sixty cycles per second. Instead, they all | ||
| + | generate a little more or a little less than the load demanded | ||
| + | by their customers to correct the time error. The NERC | ||
| + | estimates that with the proposed changes, fluctuations might | ||
| + | be greater on the East Coast, with clocks running up to 20 | ||
| + | minutes fast. On the West Coast, they would only gain about 8 | ||
| + | minutes.</ | ||

| + | means more generation is needed to meet demand. The meter | ||
| + | actually shows the grid's " | ||
| + | speed of rotation of generators all over the country. When | ||
| + | there is too little power available, the whole grid "slows | ||
| + | down" and the needle moves to the left. Why is this important? | ||
| + | It is important because it is possible to measure this signal | ||
| + | from any power outlet in the country. This means that it is | ||
| + | possible to design electrical appliances that know the current | ||
| + | imbalance on the grid. This is what dynamic demand control is | ||
| + | about. The device to measure grid frequency is very simple. | ||
| + | Here at Dynamic Demand, we built (at very little cost) a | ||
| + | device that continuously monitors the frequency on the | ||
| + | electricity grid and updates this website with real-time data. | ||
| + | Dynamic demand appliances would react to this very same | ||
| + | signal. When the needle is to the left, they would be more | ||
| + | likely to switch off, reducing the load on the grid and | ||
| + | helping to restore the balance. When the needle is to the | ||
| + | right, they would be more likely switch on, using up the | ||
| + | excess power. Millions of such devices acting together would | ||
| + | act like a huge, fast-reacting back-up system.</ | ||

| + | circuit boards (PCB). One thing we've learned is that PCB fab | ||
| + | houses (such as Advanced Circuits, BatchPCB, PCB123, Gold | ||
| + | Phoenix, Bare Bones PCB, anyone really) have a very hard job | ||
| + | to do. Creating a PCB is not an easy task and there are many | ||
| + | ways for a fab house to mess it up. Unfortunately, | ||
| + | tend to spend less time on prototypes than on production runs. | ||
| + | Therefore, we try to design products and PCBs for | ||
| + | ' | ||
| + | minimize the number of ways the fab house can screw up a PCB. | ||
| + | We've messed up piles of PCBs over the years. We want to share | ||
| + | with you some of the DFM (design for manufacture) rules and | ||
| + | tricks and tips we've learned to get a good PCB, every time. | ||
| + | If you're creating a prototype PCB, we highly recommend you | ||
| + | use these rules to increase the chances that your proto will | ||
| + | work!</ | ||
