Risk model for electrical and instrumentation installation for power generation system onboard ship

Installation of electrical and instrumentation of power generation system onboard ship is not without risk. Risks exist in many stages of the installation process and may lead to system failure. For decades it has been accepted by all the installation engineers representing the shipowner, the shipya...

description Installation of electrical and instrumentation of power generation system onboard ship is not without risk. Risks exist in many stages of the installation process and may lead to system failure. For decades it has been accepted by all the installation engineers representing the shipowner, the shipyard, the equipment manufacturer and the classification society that risk from each of the six main installation stages namely site preparation (P1), installation of prime mover and alternator (P2), cabling works including laying and termination (P3), installation of instrumentation equipment and accessories (P4), system interfacing and integration (P5) and system testing and commissioning (P6) is remote and independent.
