IfcElectricFlowStorageDeviceTypeEnum

Semantic definitions at the type

Type definition

The IfcElectricFlowStorageDeviceTypeEnum defines different types of electrical flow storage devices.

HISTORY New type in IFC2x2.

Enumeration definition

Constant	Description
BATTERY	A device for storing energy in chemical form so that it can be released as electrical energy.
CAPACITORBANK	A device that stores electrical energy when an external power supply is present using the electrical property of capacitance.
HARMONICFILTER	A device that constantly injects currents that precisely correspond to the harmonic components drawn by the load.
INDUCTORBANK
UPS	A device that provides a time limited alternative source of power supply in the event of failure of the main supply.
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.
COMPENSATOR	A device that is used to fix or adjust the parameter of electric energy, such as voltage loss, power factor and so on.
INDUCTOR	A device used in circuits or power systems due to their inductance, acting as a component of electric storage device.
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.
USERDEFINED	User-defined type.
NOTDEFINED	Undefined type.
