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. ...
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 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 ...
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, ...
Due to changing utility infrastructure with regards to increased penetration of inverter-based generation and retirement of conventional generation, dynamic shunt compensation solutions are becoming ever more vital for transmission system operation and reliability. The emergence ...
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, ...
This multi-presenter tutorial covers the basics of how electrical energy storage supports decarbonization initiatives across the U.S. To cover this topic, the 4-hour tutorial will be divided into four (4) sections, starting with a review of current technologies targeted for this area, ...
State Estimator technology has been in use in Control Centers for over 3 decades. It is still a challenge in supporting State Estimator (SE) 24 x 7 due to its critical role in ensuring Grid reliability and in supporting operational decision-making tools in real time, more so due to the extensive ...
