Constant-Voltage Transmission: A Discussion of the Use of Synchronous Motors for Eliminating Variation in Voltage in Electric Power Systems (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Constant-Voltage Transmission: A Discussion of the Use of Synchronous Motors for Eliminating Variation in Voltage in Electric Power Systems
The new system of constant-voltage transmission has been successfully applied to both large and small power projects, and the results thereby obtained demonstrate convincingly that this method must be closely in vestigated by those responsible for the management or design of electric-power projects. The advantages of synchronous motors for raising the power-factor of the load of a steam-driven station have been thoroughly de scribed. It is, however, not so well known that synchro nous motors are of far greater value with long-distance transmission systems than with local power systems, so much so, in fact, that synchronous motors can often be installed to run idle, and yet save several times their cost.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that synchronous motors are underutilized in power systems and that their use in constant-voltage transmission can improve transmission efficiency while reducing costs. Historically, electrical engineers sought to reduce energy loss from voltage variation through higher voltages at transmission lines' termini. However, this approach is costly due to the increasingly expensive terminals required. The author shows how synchronous motors can correct for voltage variation, allowing for lower voltage at the transmission line's end, which reduces costs and improves overall efficiency. The book provides a historical context for this method, showing that voltage variation correction via synchronous motors has been attempted in the past. The author contends that only recently have the full benefits of this approach been understood. By demonstrating how to extend the capacity of transmission lines and reduce overall construction costs, this book will appeal to professionals in the field of electrical engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
