Electrical
Power System Design for Industrial Facilities
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:
o
Reliability
o
Steady-state performance
o
Performance in response to dynamic conditions
o
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.
