SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Course objectives

educational goals Comprehensive approach of the requirements and the complexity in designing an electricalinstallation versus both the analysis of worst conditions and all the operational conditions in thelifecycle. Assessment of admissible and residual risks in contingencies and in a conventionalapproach. Knowledge and training of the design criteria and of the operational procedures. Expected learning outcomes Training and qualification on the complex architecture of an electrical installation and its safe andoperational flexibility complying with the proper service and external influences. Ability of riskanalysis and decision making on the solutions.

Course program
1. Introduction to power systems and electrical safety. 2.Load characteristics and analysis. Coordinated strategy of design, execution, operation and maintenance of electrical installations of buildings. Codes and standards. Lighting. Light sources and illumination. Interior and exterior lighting design (buildings, roads, large areas, tunnels). Electrical drives and Equipment: Industrial processes: mechanical and dynamic exigencies of electrical motor drives. Transportation: elevators. System control: functional schemes. Building automation. 3. Distribution system. Design criteria: components and circuit configurations. Normal operation and fault conditions of the circuits. Overcurrents and thermal life of components. Short circuit currents: characteristic currents method CCM. Overcurrents protective devices. Functional, protective and operational switching. Circuit breakers. Fuses. Protection coordination of system components. MV and LB switchboards. SCADA systems. 4. Utility supply and local generation. Emergency and standby power systems. Power systems in coordinated utilization areas, as industries, harbours, hospitals or commercial, institutional, residential buildings. Intelligent management and energy saving. Tariffs. Microgrid with multiple sources. 5. Safety and operation of electrical installations. Electrical risks: electric shock, fire ignition, arc-flash. Effects of current on human beings and livestock. Conventional risk assessment: protection measures. Protection against electric shock, direct and indirect contacts. Safety conditions for TT-,TN-,IT- systems. Design and constitution of grounding systems. Operational procedures. Risk analysis and assessment : transition theory for electrical network nodes. Operational plans. 6. Design of a LV Power System
