Tutorial A

8:00 am - Noon

 

Practical Considerations and Lessons Learned –

Applying Microprocessor Relays for Rotating Machinery Protection

 

 

ABSTRACT: With an emphasis on induction motors, the basics of motor design and fundamental protection recommendations will be discussed. The protection recommendations will be based on IEEE Standard C37.96 (Guide for AC Motor Protection), IEEE Standard 242 (Recommended Practice for Protection and Control of Industrial and Commericial Power Systems), and Stan Zocholl's book AC Motor Protection. Current transformer applications will be reviewed, focusing on how current transformer saturation affects motor protection and the operation of microprocessor relays. Finally, actual motor protection case studies will be introduced through the review of event records.  This review will emphasize the need for carefully considering relay capabilities and settings . Changes will be recommended in order to improve the security and dependability of the protective scheme.

Tutorial B

8:00 am - Noon

 

(This is proposed as a 2-part tutorial, with a morning and afternoon session – registrants should sign up for both Tutorial B and E for the complete tutorial)

 

PART 1 - IEEE Std 493 – IEEE GOLD BOOK TUTORIAL

IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

 

ABSTRACT: The objective of this tutorial is to present the fundamentals of reliability analysis applied to the planning and design of industrial and commercial electric power distribution systems. The intended audience for this material is primarily consulting engineers and plant electrical engineers and technicians.

 

The design of reliable industrial and commercial power distribution systems is important because of the high cost associated with power outages. It is necessary to consider the cost of power outages when making design decisions for new power distribution systems as well as to have the ability to make quantitative “cost-versus-reliability” trade-off studies. The lack of credible data concerning equipment reliability and the cost of power outages has hindered engineers in making such studies. This tutorial will present data in the latest version of the IEEE Std 493 which overcomes these obstacles.

 

The presenters of this tutorial will attempt to provide sufficient information so that reliability analyses can be performed on industrial and commercial power systems without requiring cross-references to other texts. Included are:

—         Basic concepts of reliability analysis by probability methods

—         Fundamentals of power system reliability evaluation

—         Economic evaluation of reliability

—         Recent cost of power outage data

New extensive mechanical and electrical equipment reliability data – complete U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, PREP (Power Reliability Enhancement Program) data base

Examples of reliability analysis of various industrial distribution system operating configurations

7x24 continuous power

Voltage sag analysis

Emergency and standby power

Evaluating and improving the reliability of existing electrical system

Preventative maintenance

Reliability and maintainability verification

Standard data collection techniques

 

The following topics (i.e., chapters) that will be presented in the tutorial will be a detailed discussion of factors that impact the planning and design of industrial and commercial power systems:

Chapter 2: Basic concepts of reliability

Chapter 3: Planning and design

Chapter 4: Evaluating and improving the reliability of an existing electrical system

Chapter 5: Preventative maintenance

Chapter 6: Emergency and standby power

Chapter 7: Voltage sag analysis

Chapter 8: 7x24 continuous power

Chapter 9: Reliability and maintainability verification

Chapter 10: Summary of equipment reliability data

Chapter 11: Standard Data Collection Techniques

 

Several new reliability concepts (i.e., inherent and operational availability) are introduced in this tutorial of the Gold Book.  The inherent frequency and duration of load point interruptions is used to compare designs based on the mean time to repair a component.  The mean time to repair a component is defined as only the average time to repair that component but does not include the logistics time (e.g., to identify and isolate the component on forced outage). The operational frequency and duration of load point interruptions includes the mean down time (i.e., which is the mean duration of the component maintenance and forced outage events). Other reliability studies define the operational frequency and duration of load point interruptions where the mean down time excludes the maintenance down times. These concepts are presented in detail in Chapter 2.

Tutorial C

8:00 am – Noon

 

(This is proposed as a 2-part tutorial, with a morning and afternoon session – registrants should sign up for both Tutorial C and F for the complete tutorial)

 

The National Electrical Code Tutorial Part 1

Changes in 2008 Code and key Code requirements (Articles 90 - 490)

 

ABSTRACT: NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code®, is published by the National Fire Protection Association  most widely used electrical document in the electrical industry for installation of electrical equipment and wiring methods from premise wirings to the large industrial complexes.

The National Electrical Code is updated every three years. 20 Code panels address public proposals and comments during the updating of the code. This latest edition NEC 2008 is an update of NEC 2005 and is expected to be issued in June 2007.

IEEE Standard Coordination Committee (SCC) 18 is responsible for providing coordination and IEEE user input to the National Fire Protection Association technical committees. SCC 18   members are part of 18 panels represented in the National Fire Protection Association technical committees as Users.

 

This two-part tutorial will cover Code making process, highlight key changes and requirements in the 2008 National Electrical affecting industrial and commercial users.

 

Part 1 will address Code key requirements and changes in Chapters 1 through 4 (Articles 90 through 490) of the 2008 National Electrical Code.

Tutorial D

1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

 

Energy Policy Act of 2006

 

ABSTRACT: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 will make a big impact on the applications, energy usage, the “big energy picture,” R & D efforts for every type of renewable energy.  A part of the bill has the stated purpose of achieving energy self-sufficiency by the year 2025 within the United States, Canada, and Mexico.  This bill also has provisions for anyone wishing to connect to the existing power grid at the distribution level and sell power to a utility or other entity including incentives for generation of electricity from certain types of sources.  The proposed tutorial will provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art status of all renewable energy sources and describe the impact of renewables will make and provide application guidelines relevant to Petroleum, Chemical and Process industries.  The proposed tutorial will also address the effects of renewables and the government regulations, effect on the electricity market, national electrical grid, and perhaps the future of how electricity will be delivered in the U.S.
