7.4.2.10.1 Semantic definition
The IfcElectricFlowStorageDeviceTypeEnum defines different types of electrical flow storage devices.
7.4.2.10.2 Type values
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
BATTERY
|
A device for storing energy in chemical form so that it can be released as electrical energy. |
CAPACITOR
|
A device that stores electric charge when an external power supply is present using the electrical property of capacitance. Two-terminal device characterized essentially by its capacitance. Note: definition from IEC 60050 151-13-28. |
CAPACITORBANK
|
A device that stores electrical energy when an external power supply is present using the electrical property of capacitance. |
COMPENSATOR
|
A device that is used to fix or adjust the parameter of electric energy, such as voltage loss, power factor and so on. |
HARMONICFILTER
|
A device that constantly injects currents that precisely correspond to the harmonic components drawn by the load. |
INDUCTOR
|
A device used in circuits or power systems due to their inductance, acting as a component of electric storage device. |
INDUCTORBANK
|
A device that stores electrical energy in a magnetic field using electrical property of inductance. |
RECHARGER
|
A recharger or battery charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it. |
UPS
|
A device that provides a time limited alternative source of power supply in the event of failure of the main supply. |
USERDEFINED
|
User-defined type. |
NOTDEFINED
|
Undefined type. |
