Generators
Every power generation system includes a hefty component which derives electric current from an input force such as kinetic, hydrodynamic (fluid flow) or even some sort of thermodynamic (heat exchange). In Sterling Systems, this component is not abstracted and requires considerable volume on the vessel.
The Delta Electro series of steam turbines is the baseline for energy generation and comes in 6 sizes and operates at 50% efficiency (which is quite a lot, realistically). Half of the input thermal energy becomes waste heat which must be dealt with via radiators. That is: The amount that is produced in ElectricCharge is the same amount that also has to be passed to the thermal control system.
Profile | Mass | Input Power | Output Power | Waste Heat |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.625m | 1.125 t | 0.3 ThP/s | 150 EC/s | 150 kW |
1.25m | 9 t | 2.4 ThP/s | 1200 EC/s | 1.2 MW |
1.875m | 45.6 t | 12.15 ThP/s | 6075 EC/s | 6.1 MW |
2.5m | 24 t | 7.2 ThP/s | 3600 EC/s | 3.6 MW |
3.75m | 54 t | 14.4 ThP/s | 7200 EC/s | 7.2 MW |
5m | 81 t | 21.6 ThP/s | 10800 EC/s | 10.8 MW |
