Comprehensive Design of Electrical Installations Integrating System Configuration and Operational Safety Aspects

The objective of the tutorial is to provide participants of industrial electrical system engineers, designers and operators with a comprehensive understanding of present and developing concepts in operational procedures for industrial electrical power systems. The tutorial deals with personal safety during system operation and maintenance and includes detailed discussion on important LO/TO procedures, especially for the not automatic operations. It allows constructive comparison between European and North American Practices . The high availability and integrity requirement of all the loads, or part of them, is satisfied by means of a system structure that increases the complexity level with the inclusion of main, alternate, stand-by and emergency sources, as well as with the diverse applications of varying switch-able configurations. The suggested methodology (Parise’s program) facilitates closing the gap between the two aspects of the system configuration integrity and of the system operational safety. The proposed model for defining the procedures lends to the solution by computer, but the tutorial will present not a software program, it helps to develop the operational procedures, in some cases really numerous.
