LILCO is studying the effects of the AGS Booster power swing on its power grid. The study is being conducted by GE systems Development and Engineering, Schenectady, New York. In notes, dates November 10, 1987, prepared for a GE-LILCO Progress Review Meeting, the author notes LILCO system resonances that are excited by the heavy ion cycle. The data used by GE for their study, is the power flow required for continuous operation of the Booster, namely a continuous 13MW Power swing and a period of one second. The data used by GE came from BNL reports, used to analyze the power line flicker generated by this pulsating load. It is a worse case study and does not represent the Booster cycle. The Booster must be synchronized with the AGS, which is operated with a period of 3 seconds, when accelerating heavy ions. Thus the Booster duty cycle is 1/3 with a peak power swing of 13MW. The time of one second used to cycle the Booster magnets is arbitrary and can be increased to a maximum of three seconds. The peak power swing and the power spectrum are modified by the Booster duty cycle and period. The spectrum is critical for the GE study of the LILCO grid.
