Abstract
New power plant equipment installed at DSS 61/63 (Robledo, Spain) and at DSS 42/43 (Tidbinbilla, Australia) was designed to supplement the existing equipment for the additional electrical load of 64-m-diameter antennas recently constructed at these sites. The existing power plant equipment (Section A) at each site consisted of manually controlled generators operating at 480 volts. The new equipment (Section B) uses completely automatic generator control operating at 2400 volts. This report describes the automatic controls and also the techniques used for independent or combined operation of both sections. Features provided for possible future operation with commercially produced power, and future automation of Section A equipment are described.
