There is no formula for designing the electric power system for an industrial system that absolutely guarantees that the result will be successful.
This course presents the approach that the ideal way to design an industrial power system is to first define a set of quantifiable parameters that can be either calculated during the design process, or measured on the physical system after it has been constructed. Then, the process of addressing the physics behind each of those parameters forces the power engineer to achieve the desired performance which leads the engineer to make appropriate design decisions.
The four critical dimensions of performance, and hence the four areas that must be addressed in the design process are: Reliability, Steady-state performance, Performance in response to dynamic conditions and Protection.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply N-1 design principles to improve power-system reliability.
- Explain the importance of redundancy.
- Match thermal ratings to expected steady-state loading.
- Explain steady-state voltage spread.
- Describe the role of power-factor capacitors.
- Identify methods for addressing voltage dips associated with motor starting and other impact loads.
- Determine ideal short-circuit stiffness based on total loading.
- Identify the reliability data needed to build a model.
- Explain how to achieve a desirable fault-clearing time.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
