A practical treatment of power system design within the oil, gas,petrochemical and offshore industries. These have significantlydifferent characteristics to large-scale power generation and longdistance public utility industries.
Developed from a series of lectures on electrical power systemsgiven to oil company staff and university students, Sheldrake'swork provides a careful balance between sufficient mathematicaltheory and comprehensive practical application knowledge.
Features of the text include:
* Comprehensive handbook detailing the application of electricalengineering to the oil, gas and petrochemical industries
* Practical guidance to the electrical systems equipment used onoff-shore production platforms, drilling rigs, pipelines,refineries and chemical plants
* Summaries of the necessary theories behind the design togetherwith practical guidance on selecting the correct electricalequipment and systems required
* Presents numerous 'rule of thumb' examples enabling quick andaccurate estimates to be made
* Provides worked examples to demonstrate the topic withpractical parameters and data
* Each chapter contains initial revision and reference sectionsprior to concentrating on the practical aspects of powerengineering including the use of computer modelling
* Offers numerous references to other texts, published papers andinternational standards for guidance and as sources of furtherreading material
* Presents over 35 years of experience in one self-containedreference
* Comprehensive appendices include lists of abbreviations incommon use, relevant international standards and conversion factorsfor units of measure
An essential reference for electrical engineering designers,operations and maintenance engineers and technicians.
