The 26th Annual Beckwith Electric Protection & Control Seminar will be held August 7-11, 2023, at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The seminar is divided into two program tracks:

• Power Plant Protection Track
  • Generator Protection (IEEE C37.102)
  • Fault Fundamentals
  • Generator Protection Calculations & Settings
  • Transformer Protection (IEEE C37.91)
  • Transformer Protection Calculations & Settings
  • Motor Bus Transfer
  • Event Analysis Case Studies
  • Hands-on Testing Lab Breakout Sessions (Generation & Transformer Protection)
• Distribution Protection & Control Track
  • Distribution Feeder Protection & Control (IEEE C37.230)
  • Feeder Protection Calculations & Settings
  • Distribution Automation: FLISR
  • Distributed Energy Resources Operation, Control & Protection (IEEE 1547)
  • Transformer Protection (IEEE C37.91)
  • Transformer, Regulator, and Capacitor Controls
  • Distribution System Optimization: VVO/CVR
  • Cybersecurity
  • Hands-on Testing Lab Breakout Sessions (Distribution Feeder/Recloser Protection & Transformer Protection)

Each participant will receive daily breakfast and lunch plus the opportunity to interact with our knowledgeable instructors in a casual classroom environment and at evening receptions. Participant interaction is encouraged to gain from the shared experiences of others. Opportunities to discuss needs-based case studies and examples will be available throughout the seminar.

Who should attend?

The seminar is designed for engineers, consultants, managers, and technicians at utilities, integrators, packagers and OEMs, as well as others who design, engineer, maintain and test protective systems, voltage/VAR control systems, and FLISR schemes. Relay technicians, and those responsible for testing and commissioning are encouraged to attend our Testing Lab Breakout Sessions.

• The Power Plant Protection Track would benefit those involved with protection of power plant assets in both utility, cogeneration, and heavy industrial environments, as well as those looking for a deeper background on the subject.
• The Distribution Protection & Control Track is designed for those who need a comprehensive understanding of the protection and control of medium-voltage, utility-type distribution systems, including solutions for the challenges due to the high penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
