Electrical power system reliability case studies for water and wastewater treatment facilities

This paper identifies key issues of plant-wide electrical reliability evaluations and design for water and wastewater treatment facilities. The presentation of key issues is based on extensive experience represented in case studies involving system configurations, power quality, standby/emergency power, electric utility service arrangements, and other pertinent issues. In addition, these case studies address EPA and California Title 22 requirements, all with regard to reliable design of electrical systems.<>
