11. It has also increased the ability for localised production and embedded generation reducing transmission losses through power lines. 12. Typically OPGW cables contain single-mode optical fibers with low transmission loss , allowing long distance transmission at high speeds. 13. A correction for the transmission losses is then applied to the measured values to obtain the crankshaft values. 14. The power grid _ largely underground for security reasons _ is said to suffer from extraordinarily large transmission losses . 15. For example we may wish to minimise transmission losses or minimise real power generation costs on a power network. 16. In 1946 Friis published his well-known analytic formula for transmission loss , the Friis transmission equation, which is still widely employed. 17. The main reason for wanting to install superconducting power lines in cities is not, perhaps surprisingly, to reduce transmission losses . 18. Modern RWRs must be made highly sensitive ( small angles and bandwidths for individual antennas, low transmission loss and noise) 19. However, if a building does need full heating, combustion central heating may offer a more environmentally friendly solution than transmission losses . 20. Shallow horizontal heat exchangers experience seasonal temperature cycles due to solar gains and transmission losses to ambient air at ground level.
