Incident Energy Analysis
Wednesday, October 12, 2016
Michael J. Higginson
S&C Electric
About the Topic
Incident Energy Analysis is an important part of arc flash hazard analysis for electrical safety. Wind farms are accounting for an increasing amount of energy in the U.S., with 75 GW of capacity at the end of 2015 and 190 TWh produced over the year. Calculating arc flash incident energy requires unique considerations at wind farms. We will discuss the basics of arc flash incident energy analysis, the general procedure for performing this analysis, and what is unique about arc flash incident energy analysis on wind farms as compared to other electric distribution systems.
