Maintaining reliability for electrical distribution systems that support processing facilities is a constant challenge due to aging equipment and other factors. Upgrades and replacements require significant engineering, extensive capital, scheduling, and shutdowns. Investment in electrical infrastructure is often marginalized and only addressed upon an unplanned failure or necessary expansion. Without an overall comprehensive strategy, it is difficult to ensure that these expenditures meet the facility?s business objectives and contribute to long-term value. An electrical reliability plan (ERP) is a tool that helps align business strategy with capital investment.
