PLANNING GUIDE FOR POWER PLANT DESIGN 01. Obtain a general layout of a city or town and mark it with the major loads at various locations and determine the appropriate total plant load in horsepower, kilowatt and kilovolt amperes. 02. Estimate the loads from known data and system load survey information. 03. Determine the total connected load and calculate the maximum load by using demand and diversity factors. 04. Investigate the various types of distribution system and select the best system, suited to the requirement of the plant, make a preliminary single-ine diagram of the system. 05. Cost analysis in voltage regulation. 06. Check calculations and computations by short circuit requirements to be sure that all breakers are of correct rating. 07. Calculate the voltage spread and voltage drop at various critical points. 08. Review all applicable rational and located loads for requirements and restrictions. 09. Write specifications of equipment and devices, and include a one-line diagram as a proof of specifications. 10. Obtain typical dimensions of equipment and make drawings of the entire system. 11. Determine if existing equipment is adequate to meet additional load requirements. 12. Determine the best method of connection of the new part of the system with the existing system so as to have a minimum outage at minimum cost. |
