There are several test and diagnostic methods available to assess and determine how these stress factors have affected the integrity of a cable. These methods include partial discharge, dielectric loss (Tan Delta), withstand (VLF) and insulation resistance testing. Each test and ...

This tutorial will provide a review of leading industry practices, standards and methodologies for evaluation and improvement of reliability and resiliency for modern and future power distribution systems. The objective of the tutorial is to understand industry definitions, ...

This tutorial will concentrate on de-carbonization and latest technologies to accelerate solutions for tomorrow’s electrical grid using Gas-Insulated Substations (GIS) with these topics: Alternative solutions to Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) for dielectric insulation and switching. ...

Wind and PV solar power plants present vastly different grounding requirements from that of a traditional power plant or a substation. Much of these challenges have to do with the large area covered by the plants, but also with the varying soil and fault conditions over this area. The IEEE Wind ...

Renewables which are interfaced to the grid through power electronics (thus referred to as inverter-based resources – IBRs) have different fault response characteristics compared to synchronous generators (SG). The fault current of a SG is of high amplitude, uncontrolled, ...

The focus of this course is to provide a fundamental foundation in electric power systems, from basic formulas to the planning, operations, and equipment involved in generating, transmitting, and distributing electric power. Basic electrical terminology will be explained in simple to ...

This tutorial will cover: The three basic design types of OPGW used, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and best practices in design and manufacturing. Accessories used with OPGW plus the associated advantages and disadvantages of the different types used. How to calculate the ...
