The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) updated its Gold Book standard also known as IEEE 493 - Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems.
This 689-page standard was developed to help consulting engineers and plant electrical engineers and technicians plan, design and operate reliable industrial and commercial electric power distribution systems.
The Gold Book standard addresses the cost of plant outages when making design decisions for new systems and the ability to quantify cost-versus-reliability trade-offs.
This revision updates the 1997 version to reflect advances in the field and current practices as well as the standard's comprehensive equipment reliability database.
Topics covered in the standard include the fundamentals of evaluating power system reliability, data on the cost of power outages and examples of reliability analysis.
It also considers emergency and standby power, voltage sag analysis, electrical preventive maintenance and evaluating and improving the reliability of existing facilities.
The IEEE Gold Book is one of 13 volumes in the IEEE Color Book standard series. This set of guides and references provides information on electrical production, distribution and use in industrial and commercial power systems as a supplement to engineering textbooks and handbooks.
