Electrical studies for an industrial gas turbine cogeneration facility

Electrical studies are required to assure the proper integration of a gas-turbine cogeneration facility into an existing industrial-plant electrical system and the connected utility grid. Details of such a study are presented, including boundary-limit definition for the system model, individual component modeling, load-flow and short-circuit studies, stability studies, and simulation of online isolation from the electric utility during system undervoltage or underfrequency conditions. The impact of such studies on the design process and plant system reliability is discussed.<
