The primary and by far the strongest energy generator for the station is the Singularity Engine, which draws on the raw and mighty power of a black hole, otherwise known as a ''singularity'', otherwise known as the ''singlo'', otherwise known as '''''LORD SINGULOTH, DEVOURER OF ENGINEERING'''''. | The primary and by far the strongest energy generator for the station is the Singularity Engine, which draws on the raw and mighty power of a black hole, otherwise known as a ''singularity'', otherwise known as the ''singlo'', otherwise known as '''''LORD SINGULOTH, DEVOURER OF ENGINEERING'''''. | ||

Because SMESs draw power in a set order, or ''power queue'', and since the station only draws about 150kW in the early part of the shift, the SMES output can be optimized to charge all SMESs evenly, meaning that no excess energy is wasted trying to charge already full SMESs. To do this, the output level on the first two SMESs in the power queue needs to set lower than maximum while the final SMES in the queue needs to be set to maximum to cover power fluctuations. | Because SMESs draw power in a set order, or ''power queue'', and since the station only draws about 150kW in the early part of the shift, the SMES output can be optimized to charge all SMESs evenly, meaning that no excess energy is wasted trying to charge already full SMESs. To do this, the output level on the first two SMESs in the power queue needs to set lower than maximum while the final SMES in the queue needs to be set to maximum to cover power fluctuations. 50kW should be used for the output levels on SMESs #1 and #2 since that is equivalent to ~150kW split among the 3 SMESs. | ||

These output settings may need to be set to Maximum later, after the SMESs are fully charged, when [[backup SMESs]] are wired up and charging, or if a [[power sink]] has drained station power. Otherwise, the SMESs are optimized for now. Move on to the next section. | These output settings may need to be set to Maximum later, after the SMESs are fully charged, when [[backup SMESs]] are wired up and charging, or if a [[power sink]] has drained station power.
