Electrical system-related disturbances cost the manufacturing industry several billion dollars per year in non-value-added expenses. In today's global economy, the need for elimination of these non-value-added expenses cannot be ignored. Elimination of these expenses requires the continued emphasis on developing robust electrical systems that work synergistically with today's world class manufacturing systems. However, for most industrial companies to appreciate and invest in more electrically robust processes, electrical power variables must be presented in terms of their effects on improved plant productivity and profitability. Unit costs, throughput limits, and number of defects are parameters of interest to the process engineer and plant manager (decision-makers) rather than a voltage sag probability curve or magnitude-duration plot. This paper discusses two examples of using dynamic simulation as a new approach to translate the realities of electrical disturbances, well know to utility engineers, into productivity and cost impacts important to process engineers and plant managers. The first example is a discrete manufacturing process and the second example is a continuous manufacturing process. This paper will also discuss the major differences between both types of manufacturing processes.
