Registration is now open for the 25th Annual Beckwith Electric Protection & Control Seminar.
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 seminar is divided into two program tracks, Power Plant Protection and Distribution Protection & Control, with the following mission critical topics.
- 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.
- 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)
- 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).
- 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)
Additional Seminar Highlights:
