A transient stability and voltage study for a modern oil refinery distribution system

MODERN industrial power systems are being provided with electrical distribution just as advanced in planning and design as the processes which are served. Expenditures for switching and protective facilities and for automatic operating features ensure against prolonged outages and result in over-all long-range economies. Prolonged outages in most new industrial power systems are no longer common occurrences; in fact they can be considered a rarity. Yet, there often remains a question as to the adequacy of over-all continuity of the electric system of modern continuous-process plants or oil refineries.
