Publisher's Synopsis
This report contains papers from a conference which looked at the development of a power system design brief, from project conception and consideration of alternative approaches, through to procurement and implementation. The incorporation of good design and best practice at all stages, from the setting up of a contractual framework, to installation and consideration of supply options, was studied. Attention was also paid to safety operation and maintenance, and commercial viability throughout the life-span of the project.;The papers under "Design brief" cover - the views of the specifier/consultant, the client and the contractor. "Commercial aspects" deals with - options on handling projects, specialist sub-contracting, and life cycle costs and purchase decisions. "Plant selection" studies - options for energy-efficient motive power, the use of inverter-fed drives for energy efficiency, lighting controls for energy efficiency and flexibility, building and energy-management systems, specifying uninterruptible power supplies and servicing an information technology explosion.;"Earthing" looks at - civil design considerations, requirements for electrical equipment and distribution networks and an integrated approach to earthing. "Installation practice" covers - cabling to meet EMC requirements, "minimum manning" design for maintenance offshore and inspection, testing and verification. "Commercial supply options" presents - a consumer overview and look towards 1994, post-privatization optimizing of supplies to large industrial electricity users and connection requirements for generators embedded in an electricity distribution network.;Finally, "Local generation supply options" covers - combined heat and power in industrial applications, practical "watts" and "knots" of co-generation and obtaining greater utilization from stand-by generating plant. Exhibitor details and a list of delegates are also included. Postage extra.
