8:30 a.m.–Noon
Tutorial I
Moderator: Larry Brusseau
Co-Moderators: Ryan Bergeron, Neil Stiller
Differential Relaying 101, Dave Bisel, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc
This tutorial covers high- and low-impedance bus differential, transformer differential, and line differential relaying concepts. Transformer inrush current is discussed along with second-harmonic blocking and restraint. A transformer differential relay setting example will be done so that engineers can see how the relay settings are calculated and entered into the relay. If time permits, differential relaying events will be shown with analysis of the oscillography from those events. − Intermediate
Tutorial II
Moderator: Scott Hoberg
Co-Moderators: Douglas Brown, Dan Nordell
Power Quality 101, Michael Marz, American Transmission Company
This presentation defines power quality and reviews power quality issues including sags and surges, harmonics, interharmonics, and flicker by discussing their causes, effects, measurement, limits, and mitigation. − Intermediate
Tutorial III
Moderator: Brianna Swenson
Co-Moderators: Bethlyn Cummings, Mike Steckelberg
Transformers 101, Yuriy Fradkin, William Herron, SPX Waukesha
This tutorial will cover: information to include when writing specifications to build the transformer you need, transformer physical and electrical theory and design, transformer maintenance and asset management best practices, and recommendations for transformer testing and diagnostics. − Advanced
Tutorial IV
Moderator: Tom Guttormson
Co-Moderators: Denny Branca, Jesse Tomford
Energy Storage, Jeffrey Plew, NextEra Energy; Jason Knedlhans, Mortenson
