For this problem, consider the single-line diagram for a building power system shown in Figure 8.34. In particular, the utility system short-circuit kVA capability is 850,000 kVA with X/R = 6.0. Table 8.19 shows the impedance and X/R of the transformers. The purpose of this problem is to analyze
Using the radial electrical distribution system of Figure 8.34, determine the unit substation specifications and the electrical room size. The primary feeder is protected by a fused switch.(a) Determine the dimensions of each section of the unit substation.(b) Draw an elevation view of the unit
A homeowner is considering adding a sunspace to his home. The project is completed during 4 years and requires \($20,000\) to be spent the first year, \($15,000\) the second year,(\($10,000\)\) the third year, and \($5,000\) the fourth year. Determine how much money the homeowner needs to set aside
An energy audit indicates that a home consumption is 20,000 kWh/year. By using Energy Star appliances and CFLs, a savings of 20% can be achieved for the electrical energy use. The cost for the home retrofit is about \($15,000.\) Assuming that the average energy charge is \($0.09/kWh,\) is the
An air conditioner (AC) consumes 7500 kWh annually with an overall efficiency of COP = 3.0. If this AC is replaced by a more energy-efficient AC (COP = 3.7) at a cost of $3500.(a) Determine the simple payback period of the chiller replacement.(b) If the expected life of the old chiller is 15 years,
Two air conditioner systems are proposed to cool a house. Each AC has a rated capacity of 5 tons and is expected to operate 500 full-load equivalent hours per year. Air conditioner A has a standard efficiency with a COP of 2.8 and costs \($1600\) while AC B is more efficient with a COP of 3.5 at a
A company has contacted you regarding their rate schedule. The company is on the rate schedule defined in Problem 9.11 as service level 3 (secondary service), but are near transmission lines and so can accept service at a higher level (service level 1) if they buy their own transformers. Assuming
For an apartment building with a total of 20 incandescent lamps rated at 60 W. Determine the energy-saving potential if these lamps are replaced with 13 W CFLs. The lifespan of incandescent lamp and CFL is, respectively, 1300 and 8000 h. Perform the analysis using the lifespan of CFLs. Determine
For a house with a total 20 of incandescent lamps rated at 60 W, determine the energy-saving potential if these lamps are replaced with(a) 13 W CFLs and(b) 7 W LED lamps. The lifespan of incandescent lamp, CFL, and LED lamp is 1,300, 8,000, and 30,000 h, respectively. Perform the analysis using the
Estimate the annual phantom load for a TV with a set-top box if the TV is operated 5 h/day. Determine the annual cost of the phantom load energy if the electricity cost is 0.12/kWh.
Estimate the annual phantom load for an audio mini-system operated 3 h/day. Determine the annual cost of the phantom load energy if the electricity cost is 0.10/kWh.
Consider a ranch house of 100 m2 located in Phoenix, CO, with a total window area of 15 m2 with double-pane glazing that has a visible transmittance of 0.35. The home has 20 incandescent lamps, each rated at 60 W.(a) Estimate the energy use and cost savings when the incandescent lamps are replaced
Determine the energy and cost savings of daylighting harvesting to a thin two-story house building (each floor is 24 ft × 50 ft) with a window-to-floor area ratio of 30%. The building has clear windows (i.e., visible transmittance = 0.78) and is located in Denver, CO. The lighting system has a
