Medium Voltage On-site Generation Overview

It seems that just about everyone is looking for more power. As our dependency on electricity continues to grow, so does the need to design larger back-up generation systems. The transition from low voltage to medium voltage on-site generation is influenced by a mix of economic and system design considerations including: cabling distance, bus capacity, fault current capacity, switchgear cost, genset cost, and utility interconnection and integration configurations. The goal of this whitepaper is to help build a common level of understanding around components and system design considerations that readers can build upon when working with medium voltage projects.
