THEBES consists of four modules. The first module deals with management of the printed-circuit-board databank and of the fan databank while the second module is used to enter the geometrical, thermal, and hydraulic data for the equipment under study. The third module computes the 3-D Napier-Stokes equations, and the mass and energy equations, while the last module deals with the visualization of the results of simulation such as air velocity and temperature. The equipment under study is automatically meshed during the preprocessing of the data. The geometry is entered interactively through the description of 'objects' such as printed circuits boards, metal sheets, openings, fans, and 3-D obstacles. The description of the air flow in the electronic device is useful not only for comparison between different designs but also to locate hot spots or to study the impact of the modification on mechanical parts. The authors describe the capabilities of the software and its field of application. Examples of thermal optimization studies are given for a 19 inch rack and for a transmission slimrack.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":272740,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings., Eleventh International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124452288","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}

The system has a mean electric load of 100-120 W, is powered by photovoltaics and a wind-energy converter, and includes a Pb-battery storage. No backup energy source is used. The same system design should be valid for telecommunication stations having a power demand in the same range. Although the given site is characterized by a rather poor wind climate (v/sub 10m/=3.7 m/s), the utilization of two to-some-extent complementary energy sources leads to a considerable saving in hardware investments. the levelling of the energy production is beneficial for the system's battery. Only 30-35% of the load is supplied by the battery, thus yielding a low effective cycling rate which extends the lifetime of the battery. Load management strategies may improve the matching of load profile and renewable energy production considerably. Reductions in system hardware up to a factor of 2 (depending on the applied strategy) are possible.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":272740,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings., Eleventh International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129087470","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}

By the continuous supervision of the TN-S network the disturbances mentioned before can be eliminated and a fault connection or a faulty device located easily. For the continuous supervision of the TN-S network, several supervising devices have been developed, which use sum current transformers. Good results have been achieved by the correct placement of the supervising devices and a detailed analysis of the network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":272740,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings., Eleventh International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123168684","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}
