Electrical Power System Design for Industrial Facilities

Course No. E-5005

Credit: 5 PDH

Course Fee: $139.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Louie Powell, P.E.

 

Overview

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
  • Protection

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Designing for reliability
  • “N-1” design
  • The importance of redundancy
  • Matching thermal ratings to expected steady-state loading
  • Steady-state voltage spread
  • The role of power factor capacitors
  • Addressing voltage dip associated with motor starting and other impact loads
  • Ideal short circuit stiffness based on total loading
  • Finding reliability data needed to build a model
  • Achieving a desirable fault clearing time
