Designing Electrical Systems for On-Site Power Generation
IEEE-NCS, IAS/PES Presents
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016, 6:00 to 8:30pm, doors open at 5:30pm
Technical Seminar:
“Designing Electrical Systems for On-Site Power Generation”
Co-sponsored by Cummins Power Generation
Technical Seminar Abstract:
Diesel and natural gas powered generator sets are used in all kinds of facilities to provide emergency standby power in the event of a grid failure or to serve as the prime source of power when a grid connection is not practical or economical. Reliable operation requires a design that accounts for the on-site generator performance under normal loading, transient and fault conditions. In this seminar we will review some of these key considerations including, but not limited to:
• Proper generator sizing for motor loads accounting for locked rotor kVA
– in “across the line” motor starting applications.
– in VFD motor starting applications.
• Generator short circuit characteristics and their effects on arc flash incident energy.
• Grounding (system and/or equipment) and ground fault detection of on-site
Power generation systems:
– When to switch the neutral in emergency standby systems
– Grounding and ground fault detection schemes for paralleled generator sets in both grid connected and islanded applications
