About This Item
IEEE 1716-2014 is a technical standard for managing the impact of natural disasters on key electrical systems and installations in petroleum and chemical facilities. It addresses planning and engineering concerns around power continuity, equipment protection, and recovery when plants face events such as floods, storms, or seismic conditions. For operators responsible for critical infrastructure, IEEE 1716-2014 offers a focused reference for reducing disruption and supporting safer, more resilient electrical arrangements.
About IEEE 1716-2014
This standard provides recommended practice guidance for evaluating how natural disaster conditions can affect essential electrical systems in process-heavy industrial sites. Its emphasis is on electrical installations that support plant operation, safety functions, and shutdown or recovery needs. IEEE 1716-2014 is relevant where electrical reliability and disaster preparedness must be considered together, especially in facilities handling hazardous materials. It is a practical engineering document rather than a broad policy statement.
Where is IEEE 1716-2014 used?
IEEE 1716-2014 is typically used in petroleum refineries, chemical processing plants, tank farms, and related industrial complexes where electrical systems must continue to perform under abnormal environmental stress. It may guide the review of substations, switchgear, motor control centers, emergency power arrangements, and other critical installations that support safety and production. The standard is also useful during facility design, upgrade planning, and disaster preparedness assessments for exposed or high-consequence sites.
Importance in practice
In practice, the value of IEEE 1716-2014 lies in helping teams reduce outage risk and improve the robustness of electrical infrastructure before a natural event occurs. It can support design control, maintenance planning, and procurement decisions by giving engineers a clearer basis for comparing protective measures and system priorities. For facilities with sensitive processes, the standard helps promote consistency in resilience planning and supports safer restoration after severe weather or other disasters.
