Abstract :
Industrial facilities could experience continuous load modifications over time. If parameters and settings of system equipment are not adjusted accordingly, operational issues may result throughout the facility. In this paper, it is proposed that power system optimization for industrial facilities can be accomplished by conducting a combination of several power studies. This approach is verified to be effective in reality. A large 50-year-old oil field facility is used as a case study to demonstrate this approach.
