Test Results from a Simulated High-Voltage Lunar Power Transmission Line

AUTHOR Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm
PUBLISHER Independently Published (01/19/2019)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
The Alternator Test Unit (ATU) in the Lunar Power System Facility (LPSF) located at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, Ohio was modified to simulate high-voltage transmission capability. The testbed simulated a 1 km transmission cable length from the ATU to the LPSF using resistors and inductors installed between the distribution transformers. Power factor correction circuitry was used to compensate for the reactance of the distribution system to improve the overall power factor. This test demonstrated that a permanent magnet alternator can successfully provide high-frequency ac power to a lunar facility located at a distance. Birchenough, Arthur and Hervol, David Glenn Research Center NASA/TM-2008-215164, E-16406
