Some of the factors to be considered in the electrical design of in-plant generation systems for industrial facilities are reviewed. The subjects covered are electrical system arrangements, generator neutral grounding, protective relaying, and load control. The type of power plant being considered is relatively small compared to current utility generating practice. In most cases, it will supply all of the facility's power requirements. Depending on the size of the load to be supplied and the degree of reliability and flexibility needed, the power plant will be composed of one or more generating units. The type of driver may be a steam turbine, gas turbine, or diesel engine. With multiple units in a plant, there may be more than one type of driver. For example, the main units may be steam-turbine driven and the standby unit may be diesel-engine driven. If steam turbines are used, the source of steam for the turbines will usually be from the same boilers that supply the plant process steam.
