Substations Committee
Annual Meeting
Atlanta,
Georgia
May 22 - 26, 2016
Tutorials:
- IEEE Std 980 – Guide for Oil Containment Systems
- Sunday May 22 (8:00am – 12:00pm)
- Tutorial on the 980 Standard which will provide an
overview and purpose of the standard as well as revisions and updates
made in the 2013 publication. Design concepts and considerations of oil
containment in electrical substations will be reviewed along with
regulatory requirements of a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plan. New containment and spill control technologies
will be discussed as well as a pictorial account of one utility's SPCC
compliance containment retro-fit program.
- Slated presentors: Mike
McNulty, Matthew Bauer, and Dan Koons
- Cigre Tutorial - Sunday May 22 (1:30pm
– 3:00pm)
- "Air Insulated Substation Design
for Severe Climate Conditions"
Presenter: Mark McVey, Dominion Resources. "This tutorial covers the
design and life management of electrical installations exposed to
severe weather conditions. The content includes experience from a wide
range of severe climatic conditions from around the world, and its
effect on AIS equipment. The content includes discussion of typical
support systems and substation infrastructure employed by those
electrical installation owners, operators and equipment providers to
mitigate the risk of severe weather conditions. Consideration is given
to the short, medium, future and reactive measures, along with
associated human performance under such conditions. Case studies are
included."
- Cigre Tutorial - Sunday May 22 (3:45pm
– 5:15pm)
- "SF6 - Application in the
Electric Power Industry, and Responsible Use of SF6 - Challenges and
Options"
Presenter: Peter Glaubitz, Siemens.
"SF6 tightness of electric power equipment is essential for the
effective functionality of the equipment itself and for the protection
of the environment. This tutorial provides a review of all significant
aspects of measuring and ensuring the tightness of electric power
equipment containing SF6, as well as information on regulations,
manufacturing, and condition assessment. Recommendations are given to
users and OEM's how to achieve and maintain a high level of SF6
tightness."
- IEEE Std. 1264 - SUBSTATION ANIMAL DETERRENTS; Sunday May 22, 2016; 1:30pm – 5:30pm
- Many people may not realize that animals can be a leading cause of
electricity outages, which has an adverse impact on overall electric
grid reliability. Most electric utilities have experienced the problem
of animal intrusions into substations, which has resulted in equipment
damage, interruption or loss of service to customers and safety
problems for operating personnel.
To address these intrusions from the animal kingdom, IEEE has created
the standard IEEE 1264 to guide utilities in deterring animals from
causing problems inside substations. This tutorial will explain the
information contained within the recently revised standard and provide
insights from industry experts. The course material will identify
various troublesome animals and the problems caused by their behaviors,
while also outlining mitigation methods for both inside and outside the
substation fence. In addition, the tutorial describes an example animal
mitigation program, documentation methods, recommendations for
evaluating effectiveness after the method is applied and past survey
findings.
