2009 PROTECTION SEMINAR

Hosted At The Beautiful Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort Clearwater Beach, Florida July 12 - 17, 2009
Latest Generator Protection Developments Reflected in IEEE Guides Learn how to improve the security and dependability of generator, transformer and distributed generation (DG) interconnection electrical protection in both utility and non-bulk power systems. New Insights on Blackout Avoidance Learn how enhanced generator and transformer protection can support the power system while maintaining integrity even longer - without tripping - avoiding blackouts. Update on the Current Status of DG Interconnection Protection What IEEE 1547 Doesnt Tell You About Interconnection Protection

What is it? This intensive four-day seminar will provide the background you need to understand the complex subjects of generator, transformer and distributed generator (DG) interconnection protection. These courses are valuable even if you have a limited knowledge of power system standards & practices. Why Attend? Learn more about the nuances & special protection requirements of the IEEE 1547 standard regarding tie point protection as well as the interconnected generator protection functions required for anti-islanding, faults and abnormal operating conditions. Earn 3.0 IEEE approved CEUs Who Should Attend? Utility engineers, consultants (especially those involved with IPP/DG design), equipment/control engineers, generator packager and manufacturer engineers as well as others who specify protective relays and develop settings for these devices.
