Record 1 2012-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measurements of Electricity
  • Wind Energy
DEF

The total of the full power output(in megawatts) of every wind turbine located in a specific area.

CONT

The rated power of each turbine is 1.5 MW, that means an installed power of the wind farm of 61.5 MW.

Record 2 2002-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Power Supply
  • Sequential Automated Systems
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The sequential switching shunt regulator (S3R) ... is a device for regulating the current drawn by a load from a solar array.

CONT

The very weak output signals from the scientific detectors have to be protected from electronic noise, whether conducted or radiated, originating from other elements of the satellite. A stringent spacecraft design requirement, verified by testing at unit, subsystem and satellite levels, ensures full electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) between the onboard instruments and other subsystems. An important element in this clean EMC design is the spacecraft's power subsystem. It is based on a sequential switching shunt regulator, which provides very good efficiency and reliability as well as a low output impedance and constant bus ripple under all load conditions.

Record 3 2001-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

One or two solid fuel oxygen generation canisters will be activated today and tomorrow to augment the output of oxygen on board the ISS [International Space Station] until the Elektron is returned to full power Friday when the sun is in a more favorable angle to the solar arrays of both Zvezda and Zarya.

OBS

solid fuel oxygen generation canister: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
OBS

Une ou deux [cartouches] de production d'oxygène à [combustible] solide seront activés aujourd'hui et demain pour augmenter l'approvisionnement en oxygène à bord de l'ISS [International Space Station] jusqu'à ce que le système Elektron atteigne de nouveau sa pleine puissance vendredi prochain, quand les panneaux solaires de Zvezda et Zarya seront dans un angle plus favorable par rapport au Soleil.

OBS

cartouche de production d'oxygène à combustible solide : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Record 4 2001-08-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Power Supply
DEF

The time from the initial application of power until a sensor produces a specified useful output, though not necessarily at the accuracy of full specification performance.

CONT

External Remote Control: Inputs per channel with common ground. Connection of ground to a remote input switches the amplifier input from the line source to the mic source. The mic turn-on time is immediate with 1.5 second line level turn-on time after manual gating.

CONT

Advanced dynamic detectors ... Specifications ... Electrical ... Turn-on time: typ. 60s from power-on.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Distribution électrique)
DEF

Après sa mise sous tension, temps nécessaire à un appareil électrique pour en arriver à un rendement minimal.

Spanish

Record 5 1985-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Machinery
DEF

In power technology, the time required to start a system, ie to take it from rest to full power output. This time is measured in minutes for gas turbine generators and hydroelectric power systems and in hours for steam turbogenerators linked to fossil-fuelled boilers. Nuclear reactors may have even longer run-up times.
