In general, line-circuit dissipation is decreasing as more Large Scale Integration (LSI) is introduced, due to special power saving circuits. Powering down under microprocessor control, derating of power devices and use of VMOS will reduce power supply losses. The common control has benefited the most from the LSI explosion. Due to increased cost of energy, low-power technologies (CMOS) are now more cost effective than more conventional ones (NMOS).","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125012477","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}

Insufficient knowledge of the exact nature of these overvoltages, however, has made their task difficult in the past. After several years of data collection by a number of organizations, a more definitive understanding of the surge environment is emerging. The next few years' publications from the IEEE, the IEC, NEMA, and other interested groups will document that understanding. This paper presents an overview of the results of data collection and environment descriptions from the point of view of telecommunications power supply problems, as well as a review of applicable techniques and devices.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116306367","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}

Between these limits, the building is operated in a dynamic or transient mode. In many locales this can eliminate the energy use associated with simultaneous heating and cooling in different building zones, heating in the morning and cooling in the afternoon, short cycling of chillers and fans or furnaces, heating on cool summer days, and operation of refrigeration in mid-winter. Also, humidification and dehumidification loads are reduced. A smaller size environmental control system can be used to handle the reduced loads provided by these wider limits. Initial field trials have shown environmental control system annual energy savings of 30% of the previous year's usage even with override of these wider temperature limits during occupied periods.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116065295","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}

Wind energy technology, both commercially available and cost competitive, has been used extensively to provide electric power in remote areas where access to a central grid is too difficult and costly. For example, to power remote telephone repeaters, Australia has used wind energy as a standard practice since the 1930s. In the United States, several private companies have expressed an interest in using wind energy for powering remote telecommunications stations. With regards to high reliability, particularly the reliability required for the telecommunications industry, the recent testing of wind-electric systems under harsh atmospheric conditions, has proven and documented a high level of required performance. Small wind systems are now capable of remote, unattended, and near maintenance free operation, performance characteristics which are well suited to applications in the telecommunications industry.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116242685","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}
