Güten Tag Herr Müller,

I am pleased to inform you that our engineers have finished their site survey of Breuninger Depot. I am happy to share their report with you:

Breuninger Depot solar panel and electrical upgrade report (CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL)

Requested task:
The customer wishes to upgrade the station with solar panels and has mentioned that the station will be expanded in the near future. The request is to see whether solar panels are a technical possibility and which and how many panels would be required to power the station as well as if the current power grid and electrical systems can accommodate such an upgrade.


Site Survey results:
Results from the site survey conducted from February 26 till March 1 have yielded the following parameters:

• Station Type 3, reactor type 3L powered with a 2MV power storage and a type 6 power distribution system;
  
• White giant type F7 with 7k temperature and a low luminosity of 1.045 (average from probes and recalculated measurements), mass of 1.67x10e32kg and a diameter of 6.31x10e8km;
  
• Distance from station to stellar body: 45.35k with an upward angle of 91.2 degrees from station (measurements);
  

Initial analysis from the survey shows that both the distance and the angle from the stellar body can, in theory, provide surplus power for a station type 3 by using solar panels alone. Should the station be upgraded to a type 4 than internal station power can be guaranteed up to 78 percent when the current machinery on station remains the same. Yet as the station currently has a 3L reactor both systems combined at peak output will provide 131 percent of needed energy of a type 4 station.


Panel selection:
While the distance from the stellar body is suitable for any available commercial type solar panel the angle from the station towards the stellar body rules out the use of stepped-angled panels. As these panels (3x8 panels measuring 100x9 meters, surface area of 21.600 meters) are banked in three separate layers the angle towards the stellar body would not be optimal enough for the solar energy to reach the two sets of panels behind the first. Thereby not fully using the capacity.

Considering the angle from the stellar body a better option would be the hexagonal shaped panels which are, since the last manufacturer's update, slightly octagonal yet they are still branded under the same name. A single hexagonal panel has a surface area of 16.000 meters and based on the needs two panels would be needed to ensure enough power for a type 4 station.


Power system upgrade:
Together with your engineers we have analysed the current generators, batteries and power grid systems on the station. While the current reactor type 3L provides ample amount of energy to power the station with the assistance of solar panels we strongly recommend an upgrade to a heavier type 3H reactor. Should there be plans to upgrade the station beyond a type 4 we recommend a type 4H reactor instead. Should a 3H reactor be considered we recommend to upgrade the power grid with both the batteries, cabling and power distribution for a 4H reactor as the type 3H can utilize the type 4H power grid and power losses are negligible.


Recommendations:
Based on the detailed explanation from both the customer and the engineers during the survey we have the following recommendations:

• Upgrade the power systems by changing the current 3L reactor for a 4H reactor including internal overhaul with 4H compatible batteries, cabling and power distribution systems;
  
• Install 2 hexagonal solar panels;
  
• Expand the current system- and power engineering team with 30 permanent staff;
  

Requirements:
Should the recommendations be accorded the OSI engineers need the following requirements to be met:

• 22.000 Solar Panels
  
• 10.000 Industrial Hardware
  
• 10.000 Nanocapacitors
  
• 5.000 Magnetic Superconductors
  
• 2.000 Magnets
  
• 2.000 Superconductors
