Introduction of SH 3038-2000

1 General Principles 1.0.1 This specification is applicable to the power design of newly built, reformed or expanded plants in petrochemical enterprises (including oil refining, chemical and chemical fiber plants, hereinafter referred to as “the plant”). 1.0.2 The following principles shall be met for the electric power design of the plants. (1) The technical and economic policies of the state shall be earnestly implemented, so as to provide cost effective and rational designs that use sophisticated technology and ensure personal and equipment safety and reliable power supply; (2) In line with the features, scales and development plans of the projects, the short term construction and long term development shall be well combined, with the short term construction to be given the first place and proper development port to be reserved, but without any land reserved for future expansion; (3) Reasonable arrangement and design plans shall be worked out through overall planning and all-around consideration based on the load nature, capacity and environmental conditions, etc.; (4) Different energy saving measures shall be actively taken in the electric power design, in an effort to reduce the consumption of power; (5) Any relevant new theory, new technology, new equipment or new material that proves effective through practice shall be adopted, in an effort create good economic, social and environmental benefits. 1.0.3 In implementation of this Code, the provisions under relevant current state and sector standards and codes shall also be conformed to.
