Industrial Power System Applications

Training Course

Industry Need A reliable supply of electrical energy is becoming increasingly important in modern industrial processes. A properly designed power system improves the performance of processes and electrical services throughout the plant. Increased dependence on electrical energy and introduction of new technologies and automation requires that the industrial power system be planned, designed and operated using the best available technology. Objectives Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to build, modify and verify power system models and perform required system analysis utilizing commercial software tools such as ETAP. Topics to be covered in this phase are: Perform load flow studies to ensure equipments are operating within their limits. Conducts short circuit studies to determine short circuit current contribution to electrical components, and identify underrated equipment. Perform motor starting studies to ensure successful motor starts without violating voltage limits. Perform transient stability studies to model system disturbances and events for facilities with on-site generating units. Assess electrical system reliability of industrial plants. Prerequisites This course is intended for engineers who are responsible for the supply of electrical energy to process and manufacturing facilities. The structure of the course presumes that participants have a general understanding of industrial power systems but does not presume extensive planning or operating experience.

Course Structure Course duration is four and one-half days, with 3 hour sessions morning and afternoon. The last day concludes at noon. Note: Hand-held calculators are required for this course. Documentation Each course participant is provided with a copy of the textbook, IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants (The RED Book) and a bound copy of supplementary references and technical papers. Instructors The course is taught by Siemens PTI staff members with extensive experience in industrial power system planning, design, and operation. Location The course is conducted on a regular basis at Siemens PTI offices in Schenectady, NY and at other major cities throughout the United States. It is also available for presentation at a clients location by special arrangement. Continuing Education Units 2.7 Continuing Education Units (CEU's) will be awarded for successful completion of this short course. The CEU is the nationally recognized unit for recording participation in noncredit educational programs. One CEU is equal to ten classroom hours.
