Power System Study Report Format

[nightfox1925]

Good day. Does anyone have any link or a good format in preparing power system study reports?

GO PLACIDLY, AMIDST THE NOISE AND HASTE-Desiderata

 

[whycliffrussell]

what type of power system study?

 

[nightfox1925]

i.e. Short Circuit report. I would like to ask for a format (like a table of contents) to get some additional ideas in setting up the main report. The report generated by the software normally comes as an attachment to this main format. I am requesting some typical format from others who are engaged on this type of work so I may improve or get better ideas. Thanks

The IEEE Brown Book may be of use. Look at past reports and see what you like and don't like about how they are formatted.

Something like this is fairly common...
1. project summary sheet / title page
2. scope of project
3. description of calculation methods
4. system one-line
5. calculation input data
6. calculation output
7. results summary with violations report (for short circuit study)

Thanks Alehman and to all. David, I am reading the Brown Book and got some ideas too. Thanks

Do not forget arc flash hazards sudy to be part of the report.

This is sort of after the fact but here are three pieces of info I include in reports:

Source of Data: Often I am working on an existing building with data provided to me from bill of materials or other's field data. Stating this here can protect you if there are errors in data that was provided to you. The outputs are only as good as the inputs!

Assumptions: Usually there will be an adjustable breaker or two with setting not provided and/or unavailable. It is important to specify what typical or specific asumptions were in order to perform the study.

Recommendations/Summary of Problems: If there are one or two places not adequately protected from faults, make them easy to find so they can be corrected. Otherwise it's just a stack of paper. For coordination problems, propose a fix, especially if it is just a quick setting change on a CB. But rememind them to re-run the arc flash study if trip settings are modifed.

I like these discussion because I think that better reports make us better engineers. IMHO.

Something like this is fairly common...
1. project summary sheet / title page
2. scope of project

3.Executive Summary

3. description of calculation methods
4. system one-line
5. calculation input data
6. calculation output
7. results summary with violations report (for short circuit study)

I put an executive summary section after defining the scope of project. It's a summary of the results and recommandations written without the too much specific technical vocabulary. It's intended to the client. I prefer it at the report's first pages than at the end. So, the client don't have to go throught all the report to look at the conclusions.

I think one of the best item in addition to what are mentioed earlier is recommendation of the study, this item will be very usuful for the operation in particulare.
