    Cyber Security - Replacing fear with knowledge

    Nov 19th - 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT
    Cyber security creates fear in our industry as mentioning NERC/CIP compliance can lead to the wrong behavior. The information available in our utility systems is essential for advancing system performance, proactive control and improved operations and maintenance. Cyber security standards provide the framework and requirements either towards compliance or technical solutions. The educational benefits to understanding these requirements is paramount in the adoption and embracing cyber security as a key enabler to our modern monitoring and control systems.

    Wide area monitoring, control and protection using synchrophasor measurements

    Nov 23rd - 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT
    This webinar will explain the basics of synchrophasor measurements in power systems. It will cover functions, requirements and operation of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs). It will focus on existing and emerging synchrophasor applications for monitoring angle differences, voltage stability, line temperature and oscillations, including low frequency monitoring, and dumping. Special attention will be given to emerging control and future protection applications, e.g. generation shedding based on angle differences and power flow.

    Wireless communication fundamentals

    Dec 3rd - 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT
    Utilities are recognizing the strategic role of communications as they implement their smart grid plans. While in the past, utilities, and siloed organizations within those utilities chose proprietary narrowband networks for each application, this approach to communications is no longer practical. Borrowing from the enterprise model, utilities are now finding that in most cases it makes more sense to leverage a single high-performance communications infrastructure that can scale and be securely shared by multiple applications. Yet this does not mean we can simply ignore the requirements of individual utility applications such as feeder protection and automation. In this session, we will examine how today’s wireless solutions are meeting the overall requirements of utilities, look at how different wireless technologies compare with regard to specific applications, and suggest considerations utilities should keep in mind as they make their communications choices.

    Bus protection fundamentals

    Recorded July 9th, 2015
    Bus faults tend to be very robust, and therefore easy to detect. This robustness may cause current transformers to saturate in the event of close in external faults. Bus protection schemes must recognize current transformer saturation and restrain from operating for external faults while operating quickly for internal faults. This webinar will discuss the various schemes used for bus protection.
