The guide applies to all types of static power converters used in industrial and commercial power systems. The problems involved in the harmonic control and reactive power compensation of such converters are addressed, and an application guide is provided. Limits of disturbances to the AC power distribution system that affect other equipment and communications are recommended.
Jan 2005 - Administratively Withdrawn Safety precautions;
The document provides safety precautions, installation design considerations, and procedures for receiving, storing, commissioning, and maintaining pocket- and fiber-plate Nickel Cadmium storage batteries for PV power systems. Disposal and recycling recommendations are also discussed. This recommended practice applies to all PV power systems, regardless of size or application that contain Nickel Cadmium battery storage subsystems.
The document provides guidance for the installation and installation design of VRLA batteries. This recommended practice is intended for all standby stationary installations. However, specific applications, such as emergency lighting units and semi-portable equipment, may have other appropriate practices and are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. Alternative energy applications are not covered.
The document provides alternative approaches and practices for design, operation, maintenance, integration and interoperability, including distributed resources interconnection, of stationary or mobile battery energy storage systems (BESS) with the EPS at customer facilities, electricity distribution facilities or bulk transmission electricity facilities.
The guide covers outdoor ac substations, either conventional or gas-insulated. Distribution, transmission, and generating plant substations are also included. With proper caution, the methods described herein are also applicable to indoor portions of such substations, or to sub-stations that are wholly indoors. No attempt is made to cover the grounding problems peculiar to DC substations. A quantitative analysis of the effects of lightning surges is also beyond the scope of this guide.
The document provides seismic design recommendations for substations, including qualification of each equipment type. Design recommendations consist of seismic criteria, qualification methods and levels, structural capacities, performance requirements for equipment operation, installation methods, and documentation.
The original guide (1994) was developed to identify substation fire protection practices that generally have been accepted by industry. The new edition includes changes in industry practices for substation fire protection. New clauses on fire hazard assessment and pre-fire planning have been added. The purpose of the original guide (1994) was to give design guidance, fire hazard assessment, and pre-fire planning in the area of fire protection to substation engineers.
The guide discusses various battery systems so that the user can make informed decisions on selection, installation design, installation, maintenance, and testing of stationary standby batteries used in UPS systems.
The document discusses VLA, VRLA, and Nickel Cadmium stationary battery installations and is intended to serve as a bridge between the electrical designer and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) designer. Ventilation of stationary battery installations is critical to maximize battery life while minimizing the hazards associated with hydrogen production. This guide describes battery operating modes and the hazards associated with each. It provides the HVAC designer with the information to provide a cost-effective ventilation solution.
