Substations are the centers or facilities that transform the stresses of transportation or distribution tensions between transmission and distribution voltages simultaneously.

Substations in Our Region

Substations (in our region) are responsible for transforming regular or distribution voltages (25kV / 11kV). Transformer stations can be of various types and transform the voltage to low voltage distribution tension. Renewable energy installations, substations, and transformer stations are subject to compliance with regulations and standards, also typical of power companies, usually very demanding for construction and exploitation.

To prevent contact between a person and a grid, ensure there is no galvanic connection between them. Natural elements like land or soil can act as galvanic connections.

2. Default Voltage (UD) and Contact Voltage (UC)

  • Default Voltage (UD): The voltage between a source or ground masses and a reference point in case of a fault.
  • Contact Voltage (UC): The portion of the default voltage, or voltage from the ground, that could be experienced by a person.

3. UNE 20,460 Direct Contact Protection

The UNE 20,460 standard defines the following protection measures against direct contacts:

  • Protection by insulation of active parts.
  • Protection by barriers or enclosures.
  • Protection by obstacles.
  • Protection by distance.

Written at on English with a size of 3.34 KB.

Product Demand and Inventory Management

Product Daily Demand: Average amount of product you plan to sell.

Safety Stock Day: Minimum amount in storage to avoid running out of goods if demand exceeds expectations. This safety stock depends, among other variables, on the:

  • Provisioning Period: Replenishment period, time taken for the establishment to receive the goods from an order.
  • Global Sales: Total sales of the establishment across all products.

Four Methods for Calculating Minimum Stock for Each Product Line

Replenishment Period Method: This method is based on the premise that the shelf space assigned to a product depends on the demand for the product and the time it takes to replenish the establishment with that product.

Sales Number Method: This... Continue reading "Retail Product Management and Shelf Optimization" »

Heart: Function

The heart is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood and nutrients to all body cells for proper functioning. It is also in charge of collecting and transporting waste material for disposal.

Heart: Structure

The heart is a hollow organ the size of a fist, located in the center of the left chest between the lungs. It consists of a heart wall and four cavities.

Heart Wall

The heart wall has three parts:

  • The endocardium is the innermost layer and is in contact with blood.
  • The myocardium is the middle layer, composed of cardiac muscle tissue, and it is thick.
  • The pericardium is the outer layer containing liquid, and it also absorbs the friction of the heart.

Cardiac Cavities

The heart is divided into two halves, which in turn are divided... Continue reading "Heart Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function" »

Classified in Geology

Written at on English with a size of 2.5 KB.

Evaporator: The Cooling Component

The evaporator is the facility that produces the cooling effect. It's a heat exchanger where heat from the chamber transfers to the refrigerant, causing it to boil. The material must be a good heat conductor for efficient heat transfer. It doesn't necessarily have to be installed inside the enclosure being cooled.

Types of Evaporators

Flooded Evaporator

  • The refrigerant is primarily in a liquid state.
  • High-performance due to constant temperature difference between fluid and cooling medium.
  • Typically uses float level regulators for expansion.

Finned Tube Evaporator

  • Smaller size achieved due to increased surface area from fins.
  • Fins come in various shapes (circular, square, etc.).
  • Attached to the tube mechanically.
  • Air circuits
