| Education Tracks |
The 2010 Education Track features two parallel tracks: a Fundamentals track and an Advanced Topics track. The Fundamentals track is composed of seven two-hour sessions that address the “Fundamentals of Electric Power Systems for Engineers.” It is followed by two-hours of hands-on instruction. It was designed to be taken sequentially to provide engineers with refresher materials on the electrical engineering fundamentals of power systems. The sessions are taught by experienced power system educators, and the track is chaired by Dr. Elham Makram of Clemson University. The Advanced Topics track is composed of eight two-hour sessions whose topics touch aspects of design, operation, and economics as well as IEEE standards. Most were developed as independent two-hour learning opportunities, and target audiences from operators and engineers to planners and executives. These sessions are led by leading industry professionals. One unique offering of this track is the chance to take part in a realistic real-time energy market simulation in the Tulane Energy Institute’s Trading Center. This is the only Education Track session that will be held off-site. Transportation will be provided. *Anyone who holds an Education Track registration may attend any of the sessions offered and are not limited to staying within a single track. However, anyone wishing to attend the simulation session will be asked to indicate so in advance so we can ensure that transportation limits are not exceeded. . Please send an e-mail to power@tulane.edu to request a seat on the bus. A confirmation e-mail will be sent in reply. **Continuing Education: Professional Development Hour certificates (PDH) will be awarded for all Education Track sessions. EDUCATION TRACK – FUNDAMENTALS ES01 Tuesday, April 20, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Phasor Analysis, Power Definitions, Single-Phase and Three-Phase Circuits Prof. George Karady, Arizona State University Prof. Anil Pahwa, Kansas State University ES02 Tuesday, April 20, 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Transformers, Per-Unit system, and Symmetrical Components Prof. Mehdi Etezadi, University of Nevada Prof. Charles Gross, Auburn University ES03 Wednesday, April 21, 10:15 AM – 12:15 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Loadflow Prof. Karen Butler-Purry, Texas A&M University Prof. Tom Overbye, University of Illinois ES04 Wednesday, April 21, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Short Circuit Calculations Prof. Elham Makram, Clemson University Prof. Leonard Bohmann, Michigan Tech University ES05 Wednesday, April 21, 3:15 PM – 5:15 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: System Protection Prof. Adly Girgis, Clemson University Prof. Sukumar Brahma, New Mexico State University ES06 Thursday, April 22, 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Motors and Drives Prof. Tim Skvarenina, Purdue University Prof. Randy Collins, Clemson University ES07 Thursday, April 22, 10:15 AM – 12:15 AM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Power Quality and Harmonics Prof. Gerald Heydt, Arizona State University Prof. Mark Halpin, Auburn University ES08 Thursday, April 22, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Hands on Instruction by Relay Manufacturers EDUCATION TRACK – ADVANCED TOPICS ES09 Tuesday, April 20, 3:15 PM – 5:15 PM TOPIC: IEEE Standards Development Process PRESENTER: TBD Summary: IEEE publishes standards on everything from how a computer handles floating point mathematics to substation transformer testing. Although IEEE standards impact almost everyone whether they are an engineer or not, few people understand where they come from or how they are developed. This session will provide an overview of the standards process; how a standards effort is undertaken, how the development proceeds and the drafts are balloted, the steps taken to avoid unfair competitive advantage, and especially how to become part of the process. ES10 Wednesday, April 21, 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM TOPIC: Economics of Transformer Design PRESENTER: H. Jin Sim, PE, Vice President and CTO, Waukesha Electric Systems Summary: This session will present a general discussion on specification requirements and their impact on economics, performances, and reliability of the resulting transformer product. ES11 Wednesday, April 21, 10:15 AM – 12:15 AM TOPIC: Moisture in Transformers PRESENTER: Rich Simonelli, Field Service Manager, Waukesha Electric Systems Summary: This session will present a general discussion on why the water in transformers is bad, how the water gets in, methods to determine how wet the transformer is, and what the owner can do to minimize the total water inside. ES12 Wednesday, April 21, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM TOPIC: DGA – Dissolved Gas Analysis PRESENTER: Michel Duval, Hydro-Quebec (IREQ) Summary: This session will present New Versions of the Duval Triangle for Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) in Load Tap Changers (LTCs) and Ester Oils, and Recent Investigations on Gas Monitors and DGA by CIGRE/IEC. ES13 Wednesday, April 21, 3:15 PM – 5:30 PM (including travel time) TOPICS AND PRESENTERS: Real-Time Energy Market Simulation Gregory A. Thurnher, Adjunct Professor, Tulane University, NERC Certified Reliability Coordinator Summary: This two hour course provides a realistic, real-time simulation of Transmission Open Access (via a mock OASIS system), Generation Dispatch, (with a utility fleet at your fingertips), Demand Side Management, Integration of Renewable Energy Sources, and Power Marketing. Choose your role, and work side-by-side with an instructor to balance your system, reduce your production cost, maximize your profits as an Independent Power Producer, or watch customer response to a dispatcher initiated price signal. Success will be measured by production cost and operational compliance with the appropriate reliability standards. No prior knowledge or experience is required, and each simulation will include closely guided instruction such that each participant, whether an executive or an operator, gains a “Smart” view of the Smart Grid. The session will take place in the Tulane Energy Institute’s Trading Center. The technological centerpiece of Tulane University’s Energy Institute is its Trading Center, a $3 million electronic trading room equipped with industry-leading simulation, trading and financial software. Transportation will be provided at no additional charge. Please send an e-mail to power@tulane.edu to request a seat on the bus. A confirmation e-mail will be sent in reply. ES14 Thursday, April 22, 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM TOPIC: Arrester Construction and Related Standards PRESENTERS: Mr. Denny Lenk, Hubbell Power Systems/Ohio Brass Company Mr. Steve Hensley, IEEE High Voltage Subcommittee Chair Sponsored by: IEEE High Voltage Subcommittee of the Surge Protection Device Committee The session will explain how arresters are built and tested, as well as a history of how arresters were devel-oped into what is in use today. It will be presented by Mr. Denny Lenk of Hubbell Power Systems/Ohio Brass Com-pany. The session will also provide which standards exist with respect to over voltage protection, arrester application, arrester testing, neutral grounding, and insulation coordination, as well as what work is being done to revise and update those documents. The Subcommittee’s work will be presented by the Subcommittee Chair, Mr. Steve Hensley of Sargent & Lundy. ES15 Thursday, April 22, 10:15 AM – 12:15 AM TOPIC: Arrester Application (Part 1) PRESENTER: Mr. Jonathan Woodworth, Arrester Works Sponsored by: IEEE High Voltage Subcommittee of the Surge Protection Device Committee Summary: The session will define and explain terms and ratings used in arrester catalogues, and offer practi-cal examples involving specific equipment and scenarios describing how arresters should be applied. It will be presented by Mr. Jonathan Woodworth of Arrester Works, a firm that provides overvoltage consultation. The target audience is any engineer or technician that has respon-sibility for or interest in overvoltage protection and/or insulation coordination. ES16 Thursday, April 22, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM TOPIC: Arrester Application (Part 2) PRESENTER: Mr. Jonathan Woodworth, Arrester Works Sponsored by: IEEE High Voltage Subcommittee of the Surge Protection Device Committee Summary: Continuation of ES15. |
