Economic regulation of quality in electricity distribution networks

NeutralHIGH LEG DELTAThree PhaseNeutralWYEThree PhaseT NeutralTHREE-WIRESingle PhaseDELTAThree Phase( )Export relevant voltageinformation and mains forms in North AmericaAn earlier compilation of the normal mains forms and conventional voltages in North America show a multitudeof local variations. This is due to the historical structure, but also with the huge dimensions of the continent, the distances between energy resource locations and load centres and the high current demands and the individual needs of power suppliers. With sucha multiplicity it is impossible to deal economically as well as technically. The standard ANSI1 C84.1 has brought a large reduction in conventional voltages and is a clear example of the revising effects of standards. The standard had the task of coordinating the differing interests of the energy producers and distributors on the one side and the electricity consumer on the other side, e.g. by the determination of tolerances. Whereas the energy production, energy trading and distribution was in the past in one hand, today they are mostlythe responsibility of various company groups each with their own business interests.There are still today in America regional differences of energy production.The exporting supplier of machinesor systems (OEM2) with associated electrical equipment should quickly and bindingly discuss the network conditions with the final system user. The mains system voltage as well as the mains system form have an influence on the selection and use of the switching and protection devices. Delta mains systems or unearthed star-delta mains systems exclude some modern, European solutions. Specialist as well as non-experts are dependant upon the correct voltage details.Selection of the correct voltage in North America is not only too much for many holiday makers, but also with specialists there is often doubts with the exporting of machines and systems. This is due to the fact that different voltage details are often given (Service Voltage or Utilization Voltage, Nominal System Voltage or Rated Voltage and finally the Motor Nameplate Voltage), that we do not differentiate in the IEC world.In the IEC world, from production to1A NSI = American National Standards Institute, Inc, /2 OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer use, we talk about operting voltageand assume the compliance with thetolerance for voltage drop. In Germanythe voltage is an electrical parameterthat we do not need to think too muchabout.This essay is concerned exclusively withlow voltages in public and industrialmains systems and their suppliedcommercial and industrial equipment.It details extracts of importantinformation for the project engineersof companies exporting to America.Binding information is detailed in…American National Standard forElectric Power Systems and Equipment– Voltage Ratings (60 Hertz), ANSIC84.1-2006“ or for Canada the CSA3Standard …CAN-3-C235-83“.Service Voltage andUtilization VoltageIn this essay only the low voltagerange is considered. In North Americathat includes all voltages with a valueof up to 1000 V (Increased to 1200 Vby ANSI C84.1-2006). Above 1000 V(1200 V) is called medium voltageand high voltage. Only AC voltagesare considered that can also appearas AC systems. The rated frequencyfor all voltages is uniformly 60 Hz.All described voltages and tolerancesare for continuous operation withoutconsideration of short-time alterationsdue to switching processes or thestart-up of large motors. Heavyor long start-up drives can lead inindividual cases to the necessity forspecial starting types and conductordimensions to maintain the specifiedtolerances.Whereas in the IEC world wework with the uniform descriptionoperating voltage (comparable inAmerica: Nominal System Voltage orRated Voltage), in North America itis differentiated between differentlynamed voltages in the distribution/supply network and in the consumersystem. The Service Voltage is thevoltage in the supply network.Their tolerances must be especially3C SA = Canadian Standards Association,/maintained at the delivery pointsof the energy supply company´sconductors and the conductors of theend user. That is, house connectionboxes (point of connection, point ofcommon coupling). The electricitysupply company is responsible forthe quality of this voltage. The actualService Voltage is normally between 95... 105 % of it´s nominal voltage. Whenconsidering the voltage tolerance itmust be taken into account that inlarge american states there are morespur conductor system instead ofcompact network mains systems thatallow a higher supply safety and ahigher voltage stability.The Utilization Voltage is the voltage inthe consumer´s mains system, especiallythe effective voltage at the connectionpoint of the equipment. The UtilizationVoltage can fluctuate in the worst casebetween 87 ... 106 % of the ratedvoltage. The difference between theminimum Service Voltage and theminimum Utilization Voltage is thepermitted value of the Voltage dropinside the consumer system. The systemoperator and the electrical installerare responsible for the quality of thisvoltage by his correct dimensioning ofthe conductors. The permissable 5 %maximum voltage drop according toNEC4(Feeder Circuit + Branch Circuit)is normally divided between a voltagedrop of 3 % up to the incomer (FeederCircuit) and 2 % for the consumerinstallation (Branch Circuit).With the tolerance of both voltages wedecide between an ideal level (Range A)and a still tolerable level (Range B).Voltages in the Range B should belimited in the frequency as well as theduration of their occurrance. There ishowever no binding specification forthis limitation as well as for theoccurrence of voltages outside Range B.The tolerances can be especiallycritical due to larger voltage drops orheavy load fluctuations in lightlyinterconnected networks with longspur connections.With AC systems there can, as well asthe tolerance of the voltage amplitude,appear a Voltage Unbalance between4 NEC = National Electrical Code23the individual phases or the phases and a possibly existing neutral conductor. The voltage unbalance without load must not be more than 3 % according to ANSI C84.1. It could be considered with a derating factor for the motor capacity according to Appendix D of ANSI C84.1, that for example, a 3 % voltage unbalance is rated with 0.9. The voltage unbalance is determined:Voltage unbalance [%] =100 ×(max. difference from the average voltage) (average voltage)Example:The measured voltage (phase to phase) is 230 V, 232 V and 225 V. The average is 229 V and the largest difference from the average is 4 V. In this example the voltage unbalance is 1.75 %.With motors, a voltage unbalance leads also to a current unbalance. Here the use of a device with IEC phase-failure sensitivity for the protection of the motor is especially attractive. Table 1 shows the principle effect of differences of the actually connected operating voltage from the rated voltage for AC motors.A survey of the EPRI 5 shows that most typical end consumers have daily voltage fluctuations of ≤ 3 %. At the same time more than 10 % of the end consumers has a voltage fluctuation of ≥ 7 % that can be outside RangeB [1]. In 98 % of the network the voltage unbalance is ≤ 3 % and in 66 % of the network is ≤ 1 %.The end consumer can, other than by energy awareness, have nearly no influence over the quality of the electrical supply. Load fluctuations, long supply cables and own power generation outside the influence of the electrical supply companies make voltage regulation, also for the supply companies, to a daily challenge. Frequent and longer differences should be reported to the electricity supply company so that they can have a better overview and can5EPRI = Electric Power Research Institutereact to the fluctuations. The energy supply company have their expansion planning and regulation measures aggravated by ever changing targets. Private voltage regulation equipment in consumer systems with sensitive equipment is often necessary. Thenormal division in America into Service Voltage and Utilization Voltage is also very much a question of competence and responsibility for the quality of the voltages.Nameplate VoltageAlso in North America it is normal that for motors and switching and protection devices for motors the operating voltage is given on therating plate for which the equipment is designed. This operating voltage is with motors known as Nameplate Voltage . It is noticable and confusing that this voltage does not agree with the nominal mains voltage. The Nameplate Voltage is equal to the minimum service voltage, this means that the motor equiment is nearly never operatedwith the nominal voltage of the mains. Therefore the operating currents of the protection devices can be better determined and the permissablevoltage tolerance can be better utilized. The catalogues of various switchgearmanufacturers and the rating plates of switching and protection devices give inconsistantly either the Nameplate Voltage (simpler for the user) or the nominal system voltage (mains voltage). Picture 1 shows a nameplate from a Moeller contactor. As well as the nominal mains voltage the Motor Nameplate Voltage is also given here. The power details correspond to the NEMA power of motors. The electrical testing of the switchgear is carried out with the higher nominal mains voltage = rated operating voltage, plus the specified tolerances. A degree of help with device selection is offered by the normal American NEMA sizes of the equipment and switchgear combinations. Table 2 shows the tolerances of the described network voltages.The Utilization Voltage (permissable voltage at the connection point of the equipment), according to Table 3, is not identical with the normal operating voltage of the motor (Nameplate Voltage s), nor withNEMA 6 permissable voltage tolerances on the equipment. Especially with small and sensitive AC equipment6N EMA = National Electrical Manufacturers Association, /Table 1: General effects of differences of the operating voltage from the rated voltage for AC motors. Neither undervoltage nor overvoltage has an especially positive effect, there-fore smallest possible tolerances should be strived for.4c dTable 2: Tolerances of Service Voltage and Utilization Voltage, with examples for the most important voltage in the USA, 480 V , 60 Hz.Table 3: The most important nominal mains voltages and the allocated Nameplate Voltages (operating voltages) of the equipment. Also the tolerance band width and the permissableabsolute voltage values are shown.(electric razors, computers, etc.) wide range adapters are especially sensible. Often, uninteruptable power supplies (UPS) are necessary for data safety for computers and automation systems.Note concerning the acceptance of European switchgear when exporting to North America:By export motors are often used that are dimensioned in kW. The inspector may then recalculate the kW value into HP and then dimension the conductor using the current of the next largest standard HP motor. This method can lead to the use of larger cross sections than is necessary for the actual current flowing.Short-circuit Power and Short-circuit current in North AmericaThe north American mains networks are mostly softer as the European mains networks, as the transformers often have a higher impedance voltage of up to 7 %. With the calculation for larger consumer systems the different impedance voltage should be taken into account with the short-circuit calculations. With higher impedance voltages of the power transformer the maximum short-circuit current is less than with smaller short-circuit voltages. In the IEC area normally only the secondary short-circuit current of the transformer is found in thetransformer short-circuit current tables. In american tables higher currents are given that take into account extra feedback currents from motors that are also connected to the short-circuited network. It is also normal to havedetails of values for differing, potential short-circuit currents that could appear on the transformor primary side. The american tables are more complex and contain more selection criteria. The table 4 shows, from a IEC basis, reference values for short-circuitcurrents for american voltages and with unlimited primary-side short-circuit power.Mains systems in North America Normally the type of network is not so important for the electrical consumerPicture 1: Example of the voltage details for North America on the rating plate of a Moeller contactor. The nominal mains voltage and the motor Nameplate voltages are given.5as the voltage. The type of network has a bearing on the possible use of differing protection measures against electrical shock and if there is at all a neutral conductor present. Therefore the type of mains determines thesingle phase voltage of the equipment that must, if necessary be connected between two phases. With the export of electrical systems it is alwayssensible, especially when the available mains configurations cannot be safely clarified (e.g. with serial machines) to install input transformers (power transformer) into the system so as not to be dependant upon the availability, or not, of a neutral conductor in the local mains system. Single phase equipment can then be connected in it´s own single phase system with neutral conductor. As described later, it must be considered with the selection of switching and protection devices for AC equipment that devices designed to IEC or EN are approved only for use in an earthed network with neutral conductor due to their clearance and creepage dimensions (e.g. UL 508 Type E motor starter, UL 508 Type F motorstarter). Also with AC networks an adapter transformer can be installed in the incoming conductor of the machine. The transformer allows, for example the construction of a star-delta network for the machine so that devices can be used that require such a network. However due to economic reasons this is only possible up to a certain rating.The mains types, in Picture 2, are also shown to make clear that in north America it is possible to come across interlinked voltages that areTable 4: Rated currents and reference values for short-circuit currents of North American power transformers.I k ‘‘ = Transformor start-short-circuit current when connected to a network with unlimited short-circuit power.not connected, as is normal in most countries, with the normal factor √ 3, for a 120° phase difference. Some mains types are only found in north America. Picture 1 doesn´t evaluate the quantitative distribution of the shown mains types, however today mostly earthed networks are found. (It should be considered that the earth potential is not always distributed from a cenral point but from several earthing points. This canlead to differing voltages between the earthing points.)➊ shows the predomanent form of single phase networks. Occasionlly unearthed single phase networks appear. The nominal mains voltage in single phase networks is mostly 120 V and the connected equipment should have an operating voltage or Nameplate Voltage of 115 V. Network ➋ gives two single phase systemswithout mutual phase difference, with normally twice 120 V or with 240 V between both phases.Earthed networks ease generally the use of protection measures that switch off the power (switching off protection measures). In consumer systems e.g. in the automobile industry, also in north America unearthed IT networks are found that ensure that the first isulation fault does not lead todisconnection due to the protection device (higher power availability and system availability in straight forward electrical installations). The first fault in the IT system is signalled by an insulation monitor and can be cleared during a break in operations.Picture 2: Network types in north America, without evalution of the frequency of use. Only the secondaries of the transformers are shown in this picture. With circuits 5 and 6 the earthing can take place in the middle of a winding (see diagram) or alternatively at a corner. Single phase equipment can be connected to a single phase system or on a three system between two phases or, when present, between phase and neutral con-ductor.6A further, second fault causes a normal disconnection of the power supply. A variant of this network is the earthing of the star point with a, sometimes settable, high ohmic impedance that limits the size of the earth-fault current. The presence and the size of the earth-fault current can, for example, be monitored with a current transformer for signalling and protection purposes.In the USA mostly networks up to 480 V 60 Hz are used and in Canada networks up to 600 V 60 Hz can be found. The machine exporter often has a problem determining the local mains system type. With some types of switchgear shown in the Moeller main catalog and the publication [1] it is important to note that these switching and protection devices are exclusively approved for use with earthed starnetworks. Therefore some devices must be used exclusively in networks with 600Y / 347 V AC or 480Y / 277 V AC (networks with slash voltages 7) (Picture 3). Information concerning this can also be found on the rating label of the product.7T he slash is the slash between the star and delta voltage – it gives the voltage it´s namePicture 3: Many of the switching and protection devices from Moeller have been especially designed for the requirments of the American markets. They can however be used also in countries where IEC standards must be used. Important project engineering information shows the usual voltage and type of network in the field of operation.When the mains system type is not clear an alternative must be used that can also be a delta network with the full voltage. When this limitation only applies to a few devices the following is possible:Use larger • NZM circuit-breaker instead of smaller FAZ-NA circuit-breakerUse • motor-protective circuit-breaker with group protection upstream protective device instead of compacter Type E or Type F motor starters.(then for example, with busbar systems the requirements of the assembly in branch are can be fulfilled)Use the larger • NZM2 circuit-breaker in certain current ranges instead of the more compact NZM1.Switchgear for export and for retroactive voltage conversion. Increasingly there is the problem that machines or total production lines are transfered to a location with completely different voltage and/or frequency relationships. Moeller offers contactors with different types of coils to simplifythe later conversion to alterations in voltage and frequency or to reduce the stocking levels and variants of the switchgear panel builder. Moeller recommends the solution that with a change of location the control voltage of the total system is supplied from control voltage transformer. At one time double frequency coils were offered that could be used for the same voltage at 50 and 60 Hz. Thiscompromise, due to a small over power in the contactor when used in 50 Hz networks, lead to a life span deduction of approx. 30 %. To be recommended are the double voltage coils that can be used for a 50 Hz standard voltage and are at the same time optimal for a second 60 Hz standard voltage. With a system designed for 230 V, 50 Hz the control transformer would be exchanged and the system would then be supplied with a control voltage of 240 V, 60 Hz (using Moeller contactors with double voltage coils). For use in north America Moeller recommends the use of a centrally produced control voltage of 120 V 60 Hz. For this contactors with the double voltage 110 V 50 Hz / 120 V 60 Hz are offered. Alternatively there are also singlevoltage coils for 115 V 60 Hz. Normally, approved control voltage transformers have an extra primary tapping so that the control voltage can be matched to the local voltage conditions. Moeller new generation contactors xStart [3] have additionally a minimum safe operating range between 0.8 and 1.1 x U c . As well as the mentioned adaption of the control voltage the complete machine switchgear must be investigated for necessary modifications (altered motor currents / protection devices, effect of altered motor speed, etc.)Especially according to the demands of the American semi-conductor manufacturer Moeller offers a range of contactors according to the specification SEMI F478 withincreased voltage safety for especially breakdown critical switchgear. These contactors drop out firstly at 30 % of the control voltage (picture 4) and can be used in other branches with an especially high demand on system availability.8Picture 4: The American semi-conductor industry demands an increased drop-out safety for contactor coils according to the guidelines SEMI F47. In the green area the contactor con-tacts must not open. These demands can be exceded with the special contactors DIL MF from the Moeller xStart system.However the voltage conversion is only a part of the conversion of a switchgear system. It must also be noted thata 50 Hz IEC switchgear system has other differences from a 60 Hz north American system that must be altered [2]. All components must be approved and also, for example, approved wiring material must be used. It must be checked that the equipment currents agree with the appropriate settings of the protection devices. The protection of the control voltage transformerand the control circuit is covered in a seperate essay [4].Literature:[1] P ower Quality Notes, Edition No. 7,February 2005h ttp://[2] W olfgang Esser“Besondere Bedingungen für denEinsatz von Motorschutzschalternund Motorstarten in Nordamerika”Moeller GmbH, Bonn, 2004V ER1210-1280-928D,Article No.: 267951D ownload: Quicklink ID:928de at WolfgangEsser“Special considerations governing theapplication of Manual Motor Controllersand Motor Starters in North America”Moeller GmbH, Bonn, 2004V ER1210-1280-928GB,Article No.: 267952D ownload: Quicklink ID:928en at [3] Wolfgang Esser“xStart – Die neue Generation:100 Jahre Moeller Schütze –konsequenter Fortschritt”Moeller GmbH, Bonn, 2004VER2100-937D, Article No. 285551D ownload: Quicklink ID:937de at WolfgangEsser“xStart – The new Generation:100 Years of Moeller contactors –Continuous Progress”Moeller GmbH, Bonn 2004VER2100-937GB, Article No. 285552D ownload: Quicklink ID:937en at [4] Wolfgang Esser“Motorstarter und ‘Special PurposeRatings, für den nordamerikanischenMarkt“Moeller GmbH, Bonn 2006VER1200+2100-953DDownload:QuicklinkID:953de at WolfgangEsser“Motor starters and ‘Special PurposeRatings, for the North American market”Moeller GmbH, Bonn 2006VER1200-2100-953GBDownload: Quicklink ID:953en at [5] Wolfgang Esser“Schutz von Steuertransformatorenund Stromversorgungsgeräten für denEinsatz in Nordamerika”Moeller GmbH, Bonn 2005VER1210-951D, Article No. 105221D ownload: Quicklink ID:951de at WolfgangEsser“Protection of Control Transformers foruse in North America”Moeller GmbH, Bonn 2005VER1210-951GB, Article No. 105222D ownload: Quicklink ID:951en at 7Moeller addresses worldwide:/addressE-Mail: info@Internet: Issued by Moeller GmbHHein-Moeller-Str. 7-11D-53115 Bonn© 2007 by Moeller GmbHSubject to alterationsVER4300-965en ip 02/08Printed in Germany (02/08)Artikelnr.: 116835X tra CombinationsXtra Combinations from Moeller offers a range of products and services, enabling the best possible combination options for switching, protection and control in power distribution and automation.Using Xtra Combinations enables you to find more efficient solutions for your tasks while optimising the economic viability of your machines and systems.It provides:■ flexibility and simplicity■ great system availability■ the highest level of safetyAll the products can be easily combined with one another mechanically, electrically and digitally, enabling you to arrive at flexible and stylish solutions tailored to your application – quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.The products are proven and of such excellent quality that they ensure a high level of operational continuity, allowing you to achieve optimum safety for your personnel, machinery, installations and buildings.Thanks to our state-of-the-art logistics operation, our com-prehensive dealer network and our highly motivated service personnel in 80 countries around the world, you can count on Moeller and our products every time.

Governments, private sectors, and communities must collaborate to turn these aspirations into reality, ensuring that urbanization serves as a catalyst for progress rather than a source of problems. Through collective effort and vision, we can build cities that not only meet the needs of today but also pave the way for a sustainable and inclusive future.。

自动驾驶汽车的利与挑战英语作文Title: The Benefits and Challenges of Autonomous VehiclesIntroductionIn recent years, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have emerged as a transformative force in the automotive industry. Theseself-driving cars have the potential to revolutionize transportation, offering a host of benefits while also presenting a number of challenges. This essay explores the advantages and drawbacks of autonomous vehicles, highlighting their impact on society and the economy.Benefits of Autonomous VehiclesOne of the key benefits of AVs is their potential to improve road safety. Human error is a leading cause of traffic accidents, but AVs are designed to eliminate the risk of driver-related errors. By relying on advanced sensors and artificial intelligence, these vehicles can react to changing road conditions with unparalleled speed and accuracy, reducing the likelihood of collisions.Moreover, AVs have the potential to increase accessibility for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. These populations often face barriers to mobility, but autonomous vehicles could provide them with a safe and convenient means oftransportation. By offering door-to-door service and customizable features, AVs could enhance the quality of life for those who are unable to drive themselves.In addition, autonomous vehicles have the potential to reduce traffic congestion and emissions. Through coordinated networks and optimized routing, AVs could streamline traffic flow and minimize delays. Furthermore, by promoting the use of electric vehicles and alternative fuels, AVs could help mitigate the environmental impact of transportation and contribute to a more sustainable future.Challenges of Autonomous VehiclesDespite their potential benefits, autonomous vehicles also present a number of challenges that must be addressed. One of the primary concerns surrounding AVs is their cybersecurity vulnerabilities. As these vehicles rely on interconnected systems and data, they are susceptible to hacking and cyber attacks. Ensuring the security and integrity of AVs is crucial to prevent potential risks to passenger safety and privacy.Another challenge facing autonomous vehicles is regulatory and ethical issues. The development of AV technology is outpacing the establishment of clear guidelines and legal frameworks. Questions about liability, insurance, and dataprivacy remain unresolved, raising concerns about the accountability and ethical implications of autonomous vehicles. Policymakers and stakeholders must work together to establish comprehensive regulations that address these complex issues.Moreover, the widespread adoption of AVs could havefar-reaching implications for the economy and workforce.

大城市过度发展的影响英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Detrimental Impacts of Unchecked Urban SprawlAs a student living in a major metropolitan area, I have witnessed firsthand the relentless march of urbanization. While economic growth and development are crucial for a city's prosperity, the pace at which our cities are expanding has become a cause for grave concern. Unrestrained urban sprawl, driven by a voracious appetite for land and resources, is exacting a heavy toll on our environment, public health, and overall quality of life.One of the most visible consequences of urban sprawl is the encroachment on natural habitats and green spaces. As cities spread their tentacles into previously undeveloped areas, vast swaths of forests, wetlands, and farmlands are being paved over to make way for residential complexes, commercial districts, and transportation infrastructure. This unbridled land consumption is not only robbing us of the ecological services provided by thesenatural environments but also contributing to a alarming loss of biodiversity.The impacts of urban sprawl extend far beyond the destruction of natural habitats. The dominance of car-centric urban planning and the ever-increasing distances between residential areas, workplaces, and amenities have given rise to a culture of heavy reliance on personal vehicles. The resultant surge in vehicular emissions has enveloped many cities in a noxious blanket of air pollution, posing severe risks to public health.As a student, I am deeply concerned about the long-term consequences of breathing polluted air. Numerous studies have established links between exposure to air pollutants and a range of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as an increased risk of certain types of cancer. The situation is particularly dire for children and the elderly, whose developing and compromised respiratory systems, respectively, render them more vulnerable to the deleterious effects of air pollution.Beyond its environmental and health impacts, urban sprawl has also contributed to the erosion of community cohesion and social fabric. The sprawling, disconnected nature of modern cities has led to a fragmentation of neighborhoods and adiminution of public spaces where people can congregate and interact. This lack of social interaction and community engagement can breed a sense of isolation and disconnection, particularly among marginalized groups and the elderly.Moreover, the lengthening of commute times due to urban sprawl has eaten into the precious hours that could have been devoted to family, leisure, or personal growth. The stress and fatigue associated with long commutes can take a significant toll on mental and physical well-being, further compounding the public health challenges posed by urban sprawl.It is imperative that we acknowledge the gravity of these issues and take decisive action to curb the adverse effects of unchecked urban growth. One crucial step is to prioritize sustainable urban planning strategies that emphasize compact, mixed-use development and the integration of green spaces within the urban fabric. By creating walkable, transit-oriented communities, we can reduce our reliance on personal vehicles and foster a more environmentally friendly and socially cohesive way of living.Additionally, we must invest in robust public transportation systems that offer convenient and affordable alternatives to driving. Encouraging the use of mass transit not only alleviatestraffic congestion and air pollution but also promotes a sense of community and fosters social interactions among diverse groups of people.Furthermore, it is essential to protect and preserve existing natural areas within and around cities. These green spaces not only serve as critical habitats for wildlife but also provide invaluable recreational opportunities and contribute to better air quality and temperature regulation in urban environments.Ultimately, the path towards sustainable urban development requires a collective effort involving policymakers, urban planners, businesses, and citizens alike. We must embrace a mindset that prioritizes long-term sustainability over short-term gains and recognizes the intrinsic value of preserving our natural environments and fostering vibrant, cohesive communities.As students and future leaders, it is our responsibility to advocate for these changes and hold our elected officials accountable for implementing policies that promote responsible urban growth.

To meet the demand of parameter design of thermodynamic system and to simplify the system; a part of the feed water is extracted from an intermediate stage of the pump for temperature reduction of superheated steam.Following methods are used popularly for the speed regulation of feed-water pump: 42Motor frequency conversion speed regulation; Hydraulic coupling speed regulation and speed regulation by a small turbine.The principle of disposition for boiler feed-water pumps: three sets of feed-water pumps are equipped; 43three sets of motor-driven pumps are acceptable. Another one for standby. Generally; two steam-driven pumps and one motor-driven pump are provided; also; 44two of them are for normal operation.Role of a condensate pump in a power plant：it pressurizes the water from the hot well of condenser and transports it to de-aerator via low pressure heater.The demand on the mounting position of condensate pump: 45it pressurizes and transports the higher temperature de-aerated water to avoid vaporization inside the condensate pump.41 B. it must be located at 0.5～0.8m below the hot-well 给水泵必须位于0.5～0.8m下面的热井42 D.

The feed-water auto-regulator has three input signals: drum level; steam flow and feed water flow. When the boiler takes a load less than 30% of the rated one; only the drum level signal is available. 47It is a one element regulating system at that time. The feed water automatic regulation for a once-through boiler keep the transition zone outlet steam temperature less-superheated within allowable range; and makes the deed-water flow match with the steam flow and keep steady.The steam temperature automatic outlet steam temperature and the reheater outlet steam temperature within allowable fluctuation around the rated value. 48The superheater outlet steam temperature is regulated by the injection of desuperheating water.The reheater outlet steam temperature can be regulated by adjusting the flue gas dampers or by adjusting the tilting angle of the burners; if necessary; 49a small quantity of water spraying can be adopted. For the once-through boiler; we must keep the fuel water ratio of the boiler to control superheater outlet temperature to insure the required stability of mid-point temperature. Additionally. 50by the water spraying. We can perform the regulation of the superheater outlet temperature.46 C. the drum level is kept within a set range. 汽包液位保持在一个设定范围内47 E.
