In a forward converter, the voltage across the transistor switch (Tr) is the sun of the input voltage and transformer clamp voltage, and the voltage across the rectifier diode (Dr) is proportional to the transformer clamp voltage. In a conventional converter, the transformer is clamped by the input or output voltage, thus it is difficult to operate across a very wide input range, because the voltage across Tr and Dr may exceed their rated voltages. In order to reduce these voltage on the switching elements, a transformer clamp voltage control method is used. In this converter, the voltage accross Tr is constant and that across Dr is inversely proportional to the input voltage.","PeriodicalId":129305,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '87 - The Ninth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132661726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These merits can of course be put tc good use in the telecommunicatior supply sector; this has already been realised by the German Federal Post authorities. The necessary multicontrol functions are here represented by a schematic hardware layout, and a simplified flowchart of operational states.

Where the application is critical the state of health of the battery is a primary concern. A simple evaluaton technique for determining the battery's performance would be highly desirable. Described are measurements of battery impedance made on a sealed lead acid battery of a particular type. At least one important failure mechanism, dryout, is usefully presaged by an increase in impedance of sealed lead acid batteries. The impedance rise, which is observed to be log-linear with time on float, is accompanied by a linear loss of cell weight due to water loss. The results suggest that battery impedance may provide a useful diagnostic for sealed lead acid batteries if simple calibration experiments are performed on cells of the type to be monitored.","PeriodicalId":129305,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '87 - The Ninth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131223298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McKay","doi":"10.1109/INTLEC.1987.4794613","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/INTLEC.1987.4794613","url":null,"abstract":"In small unattended outside plant telephone equipment buildings, considerable energy may be expended to operate the air conditioner and/or heater that prevents indoor temperature and relative humidity from exceeding specified limits. An important factor in determining how much energy is used is the amount of insulation in the walls and roof. At high internal heat loads (≫20 W/ft2), which are fairly common in such buildings, theoretical models have indicated that the use of any insulation could actually increase annual energy consumption. This is because the heat cannot easily escape by conduction through the surface during the many hours of moderate outdoor temperature and low solar radiation. The insulation is only beneficial during periods of extreme outdoor temperature and solar radiation. To check the effect of insulation on energy usage in a real building, a series of tests was conducted during 1985 and 1986 on a small, 225-ft2 steel frame building located at Chester, NJ. Initial tests were conducted with no insulation in the walls or roof. Test runs were conducted at several internal heat levels (0, 8, 22, and 33 W/ft2), and six combinations of indoor temperature (68, 80, and 85°F cooling, 50 and 65°F heating). Each test lasted one week with two scans per hour to ensure a good range of outdoor temperature and solar radiation. Later, normal insulation (i.e., 2-inch thick polyurethane, R-16) was added and the test series repeated.","PeriodicalId":129305,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '87 - The Ninth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132735968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
