Dynamic Response of a Large Power System to a Cyclic Load Produced by a Nuclear Accelerator

Abstract
The effect of supplying a cyclic pulsating load to a 200 BEV nuclear accelerator from the 345 KV interconnected power system in the midwestern United States is studied. The voltage and frequency fluctuations in the transmission system and the excitation of the resonant modes of the generators with their governors and exciters are obtained. This is the first known case of a large accelerator being supplied from a power system without the use of an intervening motor-generator set.
