In technological terms, Enel Distribuzione’s project is state-of-the-art thanks to the make-up of the components to be used to establish smart grids and improve the existing traditional grids (tension sensors; actuators to interrupt and re-establish electrical current both under normal operating conditions and when there is a breakdown; innovative microprocessor protection systems, static storage systems and grid regulation systems; WiFi communications infrastructure, WiMax and fibre optics to support operating systems, emergency management and opportunity management).

Use of eddy current brakes

4.4.2. If the engine is tested with an eddy-current dynamometer, it is recommended that the number of points, where the difference is smaller than - 5% of the peak torque, does not exceed 30 (where Tsp is the demanded torque, is the derivative of the engine speed and· ΘD is the rotational inertia of the eddy-current dynamometer).

Rotational inertia of the eddy-current dynamometer

For both vehicle mounted and ground plane mounted ESAs the current injection probe shall be mounted in turn around all the wires in the wiring harness to each connector and 150 ± 10mm from each connector of the ESA under test electronic control units (ECU), instrument modules or active sensors as illustrated in Figure 1 of Appendix 2.

These observations meet strict Transport Canada standards that govern staff training, the accuracy of the sensors used, the frequency of the observations and the requirement for an ongoing weather watch so that pilots are aware of relevant changes in the weather.
