Hi Jim, This is the article I was reading on the technological differences between different types of DC/AC convertors( LCC vs. VSC ). www2.nationalgrid.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=13784 There is a table on page 3 that compares the 2 technologies side by side. At Minimium DC Power, it...

No opinions? Thanks!

Hello, I was reading about the differences between Current Source Converters and Voltage source converters. One main difference was that Current source converters need to have a minimum DC power flow of 5-10% while VSC do not have a min flow requirement. It was also called a deadband. Why is...

Thanks a lot guys! You've been really helpful. I just wanted to get an idea of feasibility and it is clear that such a project is not feasible due to very high costs. Appreciate your effort! Have a nice week!

Thanks a lot guys for the answer. Let assume money and footprint are no issue. How can I get a number of how big of a battery I need from the generator figures? Anorlunda...you mentioned a battery bank of 100MWh, how did you get that number? Thanks a lot! Kind regards, mk.

Hello, I have a bit of an issue and can't figure out how to find out the answer. I want to understand how to find out what battery I would need if I want to scrap the diesel generator I have and go for a battery bank. I have a 1250 kVA rated generator. PF is 0.85, Rated voltage is 400V, rated...

Hi, I calculated the Potential energy(work done)= 2*9.81*50=981 Js-1 Kinetic energy=mv^2/2= 2*100/2=100 Js^-1. But how do you calculate using thees, the horsepower...or at least in Joules cause then converting into horsepower is easy. Thanks.
