A substantial research and development effort is presently taking place on a worldwide basis to improve the viability of photovoltaic systems in terrestrial applications for direct conversion of sunlight to electricity. The utility-related applications of photovoltaic systems can be categorized as either centralized generation facilities or dispersed generation facilities. Technical, economic and other problems associated with utilizing photovoltaic systems in both application categories are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of centralized versus dispersed generation are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of different photovoltaic devices for various applications are given. Factors which are expected to influence, either favorably or unfavorably, the future widespread deployment of photovoltaic systems in terrestrial applications are provided. The current program at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for assessing the potential future impacts of photovoltaic conversion is discussed.

In the design engineering of high performance electromagnetic lenses, the direct conversion of electron optical design data into drawings for reliable hardware is oftentimes difficult, especially in terms of how to mount parts to each other, how to tolerance dimensions, and how to specify finishes. An answer to this is in the use of magnetostatic analytics, corresponding to boundary conditions for the optical design. With such models, the magnetostatic force on a test pole along the axis may be examined, and in this way one may obtain priority listings for holding dimensions, relieving stresses, etc..The development of magnetostatic models most easily proceeds from the derivation of scalar potentials of separate geometric elements. These potentials can then be conbined at will because of the superposition characteristic of conservative force fields.
