Report describes hierarchical multilevel, multientry-point data file, and methodology of developing such file for unit-record-oriented system. Data base structure was prepared for Goldstone Energy Project where it is used in analyzing past energy consumption, predicting future consumption, and aiding design of buildings.
The design and implementation of a computerized data base created to support the DSN Energy Conservation Project with data relating to energy use at Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex are described. The results of development work to date, are presented along with work currently in progress or in the planning stage.
The effects of power turn-off on Deep Space Station control room equipment were considered. Reliability analysis indicated that there may be some correlation between an observed increase in failure rate and cycling equipment power.
