Often the form of energy most readily available is not the most useful form. Coal can be burned to provide heat, but converting the chemical energy stored in coal into electrical energy requires a series of intermediate steps. In each step of the conversion process, some energy is wasted. ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO MECHANICAL ENERGY OF […]

Although there are many ways to classify energy, we will discuss eleven forms of energy. The first three forms of energy are related to the energy of motion associated with moving objects, atoms, and molecules. MECHANICAL ENERGY OF MOTION: Moving objects exhibit mechanical energy of motion, also called kinetic energy. A ball thrown through the
In a HV test field, the HV components of test systems are designed with an external indoor insulation usually. When internal insulation shall be tested, the test voltage must be connected to the internal part of the apparatus to be tested. This is usually done by bushings which have an external insulation. For reasons of

From a practical standpoint, we define the optimization task as follows: given a system or process, find the best solution to this process within constraints. This task requires the following elements: • An OBJECTIVE FUNCTION is needed that provides a scalar quantitative performance measure that needs to be minimized or maximized. This can be the
