Decarbonization by Electrification
Electrification of facilities is a sustainable alternative for decarbonizing assets as policies and regulations raise the cost of emissions.
Power System Analysis Using ETAP or SKM
- Load flow and short circuit
- Motor starting
- Arc flash
- Protective relaying and coordination
- Harmonic analysis
Potential Avenues for Electrification
- Replace turbines (gas or steam) prime movers with motors
- Replace steam tracing with electric heat tracing (EHT)
- Using variable frequency drives (VFDs)
- Battery storage systems and micro grids
- HV substation with (n-1) design philosophy
- Replace existing plant transport fleet with electric vehicles
Benefits
- Improves operability, reliability, and efficiency
- Improves work environments
- More up-time leading to increase in revenue
- Reduced maintenance and OPEX costs
- Reduced vibration
- Less noise
- Fewer sources of ignition
- Added plant safety
