Electric power is the backbone of every factory. Without power, there is no production. At end users, contractors and engineering firms, power engineers work hard to maintain and expand the electricity supply in industry. I have been one of these power engineers for over 30 years. I am eager to share my expertise with them, so that together we can improve the industrial power system.
Consequences of Power Outages in the Industry
Loss of production, damage to equipment and pipelines, spoilage of inventory, and safety hazards are potential consequences of power outages at a factory. The financial impact can be huge. According to the operator of the French electricity grid, RTE, a 3-minute power outage costs an average of 115,000 euros.
Prevent or mitigate power outages
A well-designed distribution network, combined with proper maintenance and skilled personnel, significantly reduces the risk of power outages. Network components must be suitable for their load and withstand short-circuit currents. The protection system should selectively trip and only when necessary. Emergency generators must kick in promptly. Industries with their own generation have additional options to prevent or limit damage.
My role
I am eager to share my knowledge, experience and insight with engineers, so that together we can improve the industrial power system, by providing:
My name is Hans Stutvoet, and I have been working as an electrical engineer for over 30 years. I am eager to use my knowledge, experience, and insight to assist with or solve my customers’ electrical engineering issues. I do this by providing advice, designs, calculations, short courses, and advanced software. Of course, standard and common practice from electrical engineering form the basis.
Since 2001, I have been working as an independent engineer. Before that, I worked for 9 years at generator manufacturer Brush (formerly Holec) in Ridderkerk near Rotterdam. I studied electrical engineering at Delft University of Technology.
Engineering firms, oil & gas, shipbuilding and industry are sectors that make use of my knowledge and insight. All agreements between my clients and me are handled through my company SVRI Electrical Engineering.
In 2001, I founded the electrical engineering firm SVRI. In that time, SVRI stood for Stutvoet and Vandenbulcke Consulting Engineers. Ir. Paul Vandenbulcke from Ghent (B) specialized in fault and load flow calculations, and selectivity studies, using SKM Power Tools software for this. Unfortunately, Vandenbulcke passed away.
My Competences & Specialisations:
In addition to software and standardized training, I also provide customized engineering support. This can include a main design, calculation, or advice, always based on a standard or common engineering practice in the field of electric power engineering.

Enhance your knowledge with my hands-on training courses. Over the years, I have continuously developed and optimized these training courses. This allows me to share my insight, knowledge and experience with other engineers quickly and efficiently.
Do you have little time to learn how to use SKM Power Tools through self-study? During this hands-on training, you will learn to work quickly and efficiently with the software in just 1½ days. Download our datasheet.
Is your generator operating within its specifications? How do the controls and protections work? What are the specific points of attention for the generator when the industrial distribution network is expanded? These questions will be answered during this introductory training. Call +31 6 22992403 or email info@svri.nl for more information.
I offer my training courses exclusively as internal company courses, that can take place either on-site or in a hotel. Therefore, open registration is not possible. The training courses can also be conducted online via MS Teams on your request.
SKM Power Tools for Windows (PTW) claims to be the leader in power systems analysis and design software. Anyway, thousands of electrical engineers worldwide use SKM Power Tools, and many industrial companies have standardized on this software. SKM Systems Analysis started developing this advanced software as early as 1972.
SKM Power Tools is modular designed software with a common database. With the right modules, many calculations on power systems are possible, like fault calculations, load flow, time current coordination, arc flash hazards, motor starting, harmonics, and more.
Since 2001, my company SVRI Electrical Engineering has been a distributor of SKM Power Tools in the Netherlands and Belgium, and upon request, also in other EU countries. I assist my clients in selecting the software and using it. Additionally, I provide the training Getting Started with SKM Power Tools. Finally, I can offer customized engineering support, such as helping engineers set up a project in SKM Power Tools or updating old project files.
