Test Results from a Simulated High Voltage Lunar Power Transmission Line
Open accessAbstract
The Alternator Test Unit (ATU) in the Lunar Power System Facility (LPSF) located at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, OH 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.

In that simulated system, only 30 to 35kW of power could be transmitted with a 10% increase in alternator speed.
“Therefore, only 30 to 35kW of power could be transmitted with a 10% increase in alternator speed.”

In a simulated high-frequency AC system of 50kW for lunar EPS, the leakage inductance of the transformer is 10 times the transmission line, and the combined leakages of the two transformers are 60% of the alternator inductance.
“It is observed that the leakage inductance of the transformer is 10 times the transmission line, and the combined leakages of the two transformers are 60% of the alternator inductance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
