Did you know that there is a world standards day? I didn’t!
I searched a bit and found a nice web page:
http://www.worldstandardscooperation.org/wsd.html
The results of the World Standards Day 2013 poster competition encouraged me to discuss a bit time and power!
The first price was won by Frederica Scott Vollrath (Germany):
This is really describing what IEC 61850 does: let the power flow through a lot of interrelated gear wheels.
It is one of the most interesting, albeit most challenging aspects of the future power system development because there must be a guarantee that all aspects and tasks of the functions and information sharing services will mesh together like the teeth of gear wheels!!
Well done poster!!
I visited the other day a museum with several of our grand sons (Dynamikum). We saw the following set of 18 gear wheels:
The top wheel is driven by a motor with 250 rpm and 26.5 Watt:
The motor drives the first wheel (large), the first (small) drives the second (large), and so on.
The questions are:
How long does it take until the 18. (last) wheel turns one (1!!) time? How much energy is consumed by the motor during that time?
It takes 3 Million years!!
The motor would consume
26,5 W x 365 x 24 x 3,000,000 h =
7 x 10**2 GWh or
0.7 TWh
WOW
That would cost some 128 Million Euro at 0.2 Euro/kwh …
Without IEC standards it would be much more expensive! Or?
