Emergency system and Electrical Components and Equipment

Emergency Power Systems

• Electrical power generation and distribution
• Consequences of an electrical fault
• Emergency power systems fundamentals 

The first day of the course will begin with a discussion over power generation and distribution, followed by the consequences of  failures in power or electrical system. Participants will also be introduced to emergency power systems.                

Emergency Power Requirements and System Design

• Main emergency principles and designs
• Emergency calculation methods
• Safety requirements
• Power system design

Day two will cover the main emergency principles and designs, emergency requirements, and power system designs.  Participants will also learn about emergency power system design principles, schematics, along with the main components, calculation methods, and safety requirements.    

Emergency Power System Design and Components

• Power system design (continued)
• Power system components
• Power generation and distribution

Participants will continue to learn about emergency power system design on this day.  Power system components sizing and selection will also be discussed.   The day will conclude with a discussion about power generation, power distribution, supply systems, and primary and secondary distribution systems.

Emergency Generators and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) 

• Electrical power generation
• Emergency and standby power generation
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

This day will introduce participants to the different types of emergency power generators.  Specific types to be discussed will include diesel engines, turbines, alternators, and steam turbines.  Participants will also learn about Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), inverters, rectifiers, and batteries.

UPS (Continued) and Field Trip 

• Maintenance principles of UPS
• Applications and functions in oil and gas industry
• Field trip

On the last day, participants will continue the discussion of UPS equipment design and maintenance.  After, participants will then be taken on a field trip.
