| Reliability
& Performance Study |
Power
systems are sometimes understood
to always be available when
needed, however that depends
on the level of reliability.
Reliability is based on
the risk of sustaining a
power outage or failure
rate. The level of reliability
is proportional to the duration
of the minor or major power
outage.
Performance is based on
historical operational data
and criteria. From the operational
data, trends can be determined
and levels of performance
assessed. Levels of performance
can be based on criteria
such as the amount of power
throughput, switching times
between normal and emergency
power, power quality, etc.
To
improve reliability and
performance:
|
|
|
A comparison should be made
between your power system,
current electrical codes,
and the latest construction
standards |
|
|
Disconnects,
transformers, and all protective
devices should be checked
if they are properly rated
for overload and short circuit
events |
|
|
Historical
data events requiring emergency
generation should be documented,
if available |
|
|
Testing
Procedures should be checked
for reliability |
It
should be determined whether
or not a modification to
the power distribution system
is necessary based on past
reliability and performance.
Cost of the modifications
to improve reliability and
performance is always a
concern and the most critical
modifications should be
selected. |
