Course Description
This course applies Electrical Engineering principles to oil and gas facilities design and operation and requires some prior experience. Electrical Engineering principles are reinforced through the use of individual and team problem solving exercises, one-line diagram coordination, interpretation, and class discussions of interfaces between facilities engineers, contractors and maintenance personnel.
Participants gain additional understanding of electrical equipment requirements for facilities and what is important to the Electrical discipline.
Course Objectives
- Key principles in project management for electrical projects including basics, front end loading, scope definition, brown-field vs. green-field, engineering deliverables, roles and responsibilities,
project planning, risk analysis and management, cost estimating, and procurement, construction, contractor and supplier management - Standards and recommended practices through an introduction to ANSI, API, CSA, CFR, IEC, IEEE, IES, ISA, NEMA, NFPA, AND UL
- Electrical distribution systems including background, planning, voltage selection, and system protection
