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 reliability criteria to an industrial power-system design.
• Explain the importance of redundancy.
• Match thermal ratings to expected steady-state loading.
• Identify steady-state voltage spread.
• Analyze the role of power factor capacitors.
• Resolve voltage dip associated with motor starting and other impact loads.
• Describe ideal short circuit stiffness based on total loading.
• Locate reliability data needed to build a model.
• Demonstrate 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. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
