Critical Power: Power for industrial facilities

1 AIA CES APPROVED LU AVAILABLE FOR ATTENDEES UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF AN EXAM.

Power systems for industrial, manufacturing and other energy-intensive production facilities requires careful design and coordination. These facilities need to maintain power (including maintaining power quality) to eliminate product losses. Increasingly, engineers frequently specify uninterruptible power supply-type systems for large portions or entire facilities.

Some projects require backup power, in the form of generators and lithium-ion batteries. Incorporating the uninterruptible power supply system into these buildings requires electrical engineers to understand the load requirements and specific functions served by these power supplies.

Learning objectives:

• Know when uninterruptible power supply systems are required, and their specifications.
• Understand how to evaluate and analyze the power needs for such systems.
• Know the codes and standards that define the design of backup power systems.
• Learn the right practices for specifying uninterruptible power supply systems and identify common errors.
