Abstract

The problem of providing a sufficiently stable and reliable power source for the equipment in a DSN station appears to be getting more serious. The potential for the occurrence of damaging commercial power variations is increasing, while the need for a more precise power source seems to be greater. Local generation of electrical power helps the situation but is made difficult due to increasing fuel costs and decreasing availability of fuel. Frequently, user-created voltage distortions are blamed on the supplier of the power. Increased study and understanding of the underlying factors are needed.
