“ Electrical Systems Switching Procedures Considerations In Safety, Reliability And Software Applications” Tutorial 2 - I&CPS 2011

■Historically, finding practical methods to operate the safety procedures of LO/TO and integrity procedures for service continuity is not always easy or obvious. The tutorial addresses this difficulty. ■Studies of integrity procedures consider load flow and short circuits analysis. ■Operational procedures are integrated into software programs already in use for power systems. ■General review of lockout tagout (LO/TO) procedures for industrial electrical systems. Structure switching programs to meet safety mandates. ■Safety during system operation and maintenance and includes detailed discussion on important operational procedures, especially for non- automatic operations. ■Introduces computer based tools to assist in such important tasks with examples using current software to solve switching configuration problems. ■Early understanding of such concepts, allows the safety and reliability aspects to be embedded in the electrical design at its earliest stages.
