            Abstract : 
Thermal risk is a prominent technical issue in power related projects which has significant impacts on a variety of deliverables including efficiency, reliability and manufacture cost. In today´s commercial market there is no industrial standard on power products´ thermal behavior, which makes it extremely challenging for a project manager to control technical risks. A CAD (Computer Aid Design) tool is presented in this paper that efficiently evaluates and mitigates thermal related risks in power projects.
