DESCRIPTION:
Geoff MacAngus-Gerrard is currently on the Supply Lecturer Register for the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), Scotland. He was a chartered electrical engineer who is particularly experienced in conceptual design of electrical power systems and the solving of problems associated with reliability and safety related to the security and survivability of power systems on offshore and petrochemical installations. He has worked prima
In the case of engines which drive fire pumps, duplicate charges and batteries are also required.Packed with charts, tables, and diagrams, this work is intended to be of interest to both technical readers and to general readers. Some topics covered are offshore power requirements, generator selection, process drivers and starting requirements, control and monitoring systems, and cabling and equipment installationDiscusses how to perform inspections of electrical and instrument systems on equipment using appropriate regulations and specificationsExplains how to ensure electrical systems/components are maintained and production is uninterruptedDemonstrates how to repair, modify, and install electrical instruments ensuring compliance with current regulations and specificationsCovers specification, management, and technical evaluation of offshore electrical system designFeatures evaluation and optimization of electrical system options including DC/AC selection and offshore cabling designs. This is followed by coverage of AC generators, automatic voltage regulators, AC switchgear transformers, and programmable electronic systems.The emphasis throughout is on practical,
He has worked primarily on offshore-related projects for the last 24 years, at a marine consultancy for 3 years and in various petrochemical projects for 5 years.
