U523: Application of Electric Drives for Irrigation

The objective of this report is to identify and address problems experienced by irrigation farmers and electric utilities with the growth of electric driven irrigation pumping systems. TransAlta Utilities surveyed farmers in the four Western Canadian provinces and also contacted various utilities, federal and provincial agriculture departments, irrigation equipment dealers, and consultants. A literature search was conducted to consolidate existing technical data and to determine the factors gove

U603: The Development of a Microwave-Resistance Heat- ing Technology Suitable for Advanced Ceramic Processing - Phase 1

Ontario Hydro Research Division, participating in a co-funded project with the Canadian Electrical Association, developed an energy efficient heating technology for processing advanced ceramics. A kiln combining microwave with electric resistance heating was designed and built to investigate the effect of this hybrid technology on production rates and energy requirements for calcining and sintering a selected number of ceramic materials. Even without any optimization, test results on the ceramic

U466: Perspectives on Railway Electrification in Canada

The objective of this project is to identify and examine utility concerns in railway electrification and the effects they will have on the electric utilities. The concerns are both technical and economic. Modern technologies used on mainline electrified railways are briefly discussed. Special technical concerns such as harmonics, three phase voltage unbalance and voltage flicker as well as a review of their tolerable limits are examined. A survey of available electricity rates for railroad elect

U849: Assessment of the Impact of Internal Gains on the Thermal Loads in the Residential Sector

This report presents the results of a study aimed at evaluating the existing interaction between internal gains and residential heating/air conditioning energy consumption. To meet this objective, the project was divided into three phases. In the first phase, values of internal gains generated by residence occupants, lighting, domestic water heater and various household appliances were determined from a literature review and a test program conducted by LTEE.In the second phase, two simulation pr

U116: Electricity Distribution within the Future Residence

This study has examined present residential wiring systems and i t has identified their shortcomings and a l i s t of the desirable attributes for future wiring systems is proposed. The outlook for the application to wiring systems of solid-state electronic devices has been assessed. As further background for a proposed new wiring concept, the residential use of energy today and probable future trends have been reviewed. Lastly, the concept of a Distributed Bus is proposed and developed on a con

U987: Systematic Study on the Preparation of a Food Grade Soyabean Protein

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential use of a new application of electrodialysis, electro-acidification, for the separation of soya proteins, and to compare the compositional and functional properties of electro-acidified proteins to those of commercial standards. Since protein solutions have special physico-chemical properties, we began by characterizing the conductivity and viscosity of these solutions. In the next stage, the influence of factors such as protein concentrat
