Estimating Power Demand
Using IEC MethodsFiled in [Buildings Technology]By Steven on July 27th, 2011
reproduced from
Schneider's 'Electrical Installation
Guide - According to IEC International Standards'Estimating
power demand is combination of science and art. It is an area of
electrical engineering where there is no correct answer. Plug the
gures in your preferred method of calculation and then as an engineer
you need to relay on instincts to say if the answer feels right or not.
Indiidual loads do not necessarily operate at full rated nominal powernor at the same time. Estimating power demand inoles both loo!ing
at the total connected load and the ma"imum e"pected demand on the
system. #s we will see these are not the same.
IEC Method
$epending where you are% di&erent methods% gures and procedures
are used to estimate the power demand of an installation. This is a loo!
at one method inline with what could be considered IE' practice. To get going it is useful to understand some basic denitions(
• oltage ) * the oltage of the electrical system
• load current Ib * the current re+uired to operate an item of
e+uipment
• apparent power !)# * the product of the oltage ) and load
current Ib

• real power !, * the actual power consumed by the load or
e+uipment
• power factor * the ratio of the real power to apparent power
-!,!)#/
•
utilisation factor !u * see below• simultaneity factor !s * see below
Utilisation factor ku - name plate ratings invariably list higher valuesof current than will be seen in use, motors rarely run at full load, etc. utilisation factor can be applied to these ratings to establish a morerealistic load current, thereby not overestimating the demand.
Simultaneity factor ks - not all e!uipment runs a the same time" fore#ample one motor may be duty and the other standby. $he sameapplies to installations" for e#ample a group of houses or apartmentswill not all consume the full design current at the same time. pplyinga simultaneity factor ta%es care of this. &ften the term diversity isused and has the same meaning.
The diagram illustrates how the utilisation and simultaneity factors are
used to estimate the power demand of an installation. 'lic! on the
image for a larger ersion.
Following the diagram% the apparent power of the load or e+uipment is
multiplied by the utilisation factor to gie a realistic power demand to
be supplied by a distribution board. 0umming these power demand
gures gies the total connected apparent demand -at that board/. Thedistribution board would normally be si1ed for this demand.
#n appropriate simultaneity factor is applied to the connected
apparent demand at the distribution board and this [diersied] load is
carried upstream to higher leels boards. 2epeating this procedure will
lead to an e"pected total demand for the full installation.
In a nutshell% that3s all there is to it * in principal at least. There are
often problems in deciding what simultaneity factor to use and here
e"perience can be really useful.
Tip: estimating power demand this is normally carried out using either apparent or real power. ' prefer real power as it gives me the actual%( re!uired and is an algebraic sum. )any people will use apparent
power, which strictly spea%ing is a vector sum. s we are dealing withestimates *ball par% +gures even, using either real or apparent powerwill yield usable results.

!pical Utilisation " Simultaneit!
#actors
Ideally utilisation and simultaneity factors should be deelopedspecically for each application and based on a !nowledge of how that
particular system will operate. For certain situations it may be
necessary to use factors gien by supply authorities or some other
industry adopted factors.
The factors below are based on those gien in the 0chneider Electrical
Installation 4uide and can be used in the absence of other sources or
to proide reality chec!s on gures being used.

%4567 8 49:6Estimating ma"imum demand is a topic fre+uently
discussed. ,or!ing out how much power to allow for a building can be
ery sub8ectie . #llowing too much power results in additional
e+uipment% increased space re+uirements% greater system losses and
e"tra cost. 9n the other side% not enough power results in operational
problems. Trying to nd the right amount of power is li!e ga1ing into a
crystal ball and eeryone will see something di&erent.
Early in a pro8ect power demand is estimated on a wm7 basis. Each
building needs to be considered on it merits and appropriate
allowances wor!ed out -for e"ample a o:ce designed for high end
ban!ing clients will re+uire more power than a general purpose o:ce/.
,hile there are no "ed guidelines it is good to hae some sort of

An Alternati(e Energ! +ased
Approachsing wm7 gures -including some sort of diersity/ to estimateelectrical demand% may not be the best approach for future buildings.
Particularly with regards to encouraging innoation in the design with a
focus on improing oerall energy consumption and a buildings carbon
footprint.
#n alternatie approach would be to set design targets on how much
electrical energy indiidual systems can use. This would be done at
7/21/2019 Estimating Power Demand
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estimating-power-demand 12/14
the beginning of the pro8ect. $esigners for each system% would then
be tas!ed with producing designs to meet these targets. Tight energy
targets would encourage a more innoatie and integrated design as
well as proiding performance indicators to monitor the design.
The electrical engineers 8ob is clearly made easier by this approach asthe ma"imum demand is "ed by the energy targets.
This approach does re+uire commitment from the design team to a
more integrated design approach. There are companies already
utilising the approach and initial feedbac! has been good. ;ow useful
and productie it will be in the long run still remains to be seen.- See more at: http://myelectrical.com/notes/entryid/!/ma"imum-demand-for-

2oltage Drop in Installations -ConceptsFiled in [Buildings Technology]By Steven on eptember 27th, 2011
Problems on achieing ma"imum oltage drop within an installation
come up often. $epending where you lie% local regulations will hae
di&erent limits on ma"imum allowable oltage drop% howeer the
intent of all of these is to ensure su:cient oltage is aailable at the
e+uipment so that if functions correctly. 0pecied oltage drops aregenerally not for an indiidual cable but for the full installationC from
the point of supply connection to the nal e+uipment. Thus the oerall
oltage drop is a combination of indiidual oltage drops across
multiple cables.
7/21/2019 Estimating Power Demand
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estimating-power-demand 13/14
The gure shows a typical
installation. # transformer feeds a main distribution board -@$B/%
which in turn feeds one or more sub main distribution board -0@$B/.
Each 0@$B feeds one or more nal distribution board -F$B/% which in
turn supplies the connected e+uipment. It is apparent that the total
oltage drop at the nal e+uipment is the sum of following oltage
drops(
• )oltage drop -)>/ in the cable from the transformer to the @$B
-which is carrying the current for all the loads on the system/
• )oltage drop -)7/ in the cable from the @$B to the 0@$B -which
is carrying the current for all loads in all F$B connected to the 0@$B/
• )oltage drop -)D/ in the cable from the 0@$B to the F$B -which is
carrying the current for all loads connected to the F$B/
• )oltage drop -)/ in the cable from the F$B to the load -which is
carrying the current for the load only/
,hat becomes obious is that the oltage drop is a function of the
oerall system and not triial to calculateC particularly for a large
system. In order to accurately determine the oltage drop to any load%
a complete understanding of the system is re+uired. $ue to this%
7/21/2019 Estimating Power Demand
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/estimating-power-demand 14/14
design is often carried out using computer software which can +uic!ly
ealuate the full system and proide a eriable solution.
'onsideration of a common problem where the oltage drop e"ceeds
the allowable% may help illustrate some of the issues li!ely to be
encountered. 4ien a oltage drop which is too larger% this couldpotentially be resoled by increasing the si1e of the cable from the F$B
to the load. Increasing this cable may wor! or could possibly result in a
cable which is too large to be practical. #n alternatie would be to
consider increasing the si1e of one or more of the cables in the
upstream circuits% with the possible benet of reducing cable si1es on
multiple other circuits downstream of this.
)oltage drop and the installation cabling system are integrated and
tied together. The e"ample illustrates that consideration of the
oltage drop re+uires a full understanding of the system. 9theraspects of the design complicated this further. These include
consideration of the cost of the installation% system losses and carbon
footprint. By minimi1ing the amount of copper [cable] used these
aspects are reduced% but this needs to be tied in with achieing
satiable oltage drops. #ttempting to address all these aspects with
numerous combinations of di&erent cables and what*if type scenarios
can only be realistically addressed by using some sort of computer
program.- See more at: http://myelectrical.com/notes/entryid/87/*oltage-drop-in-
