INSTRUCTOR

Instruction will be provided by Michael Wright, PE. Michael began teaching classes in Protection and Control Philosophy in 2001 for Progress Energy. In 2003, Michael developed a 40 hour curriculum designed to explain the “macro view” of Protection and Control. This year marks his ninth consecutive year teaching Relay Philosophies and Training. Additionally, Michael has served as an adjunct professor at Valencia Community College instructing courses on the Fundamentals of AC Circuits and serves as the President of Power Grid Engineering

PGE 6TH ANNUAL RELAY PHILOSOPHIES SEMINAR

Power Grid Engineering (PGE) will be holding the first of a two-part series on relay philosophies in Lake Mary, Fla. Ecompassing basic theories of Protection & Control, this seminar will cover everything from PZ Diagrams to Schematic Drawings, and is designed for engineers, engineering technicians, consultants and other industry professionals.

EVENT SCHEDULE

Mon 8-5	Substation Configurations, Protection Zones & Singleline Diagrams Basic Fundamentals Of Relay Design Philosophies Substation Configuration utilized by major investment owned utilities Developing a protection and control diagram using drawings to develop a singleline diagram.
Tue 8-12	Current Transformer Fundamentals Application of current transformers, excitation current, excitation voltage, excitation impedance, saturation, knee point, CT Performance, ratio considerations, accuracy class and equivalent circuit
Tue 1-5	Breaker Control & Reclosing How breakers are controlled Devices that cause breakers to trip and automatically reclose The reclosing philosophy and with application to transmission breaker control with an SEL-315s Testing specifics in reference to the SEL-3515S application Testing procedure for the SEL-351S in a transmission breaker control application Detailed review of logic diagram
Wed 8-12	Differential Protection Schemes How differential protection schemes work Bus differential and transformer differentials Multiple scenario of current flow analysis of differential circuits using Kirchhoff’s Current Law
Wed 1-5	Transformer Protection Review fundamentals of how power transformers work and cover protection concepts used to protection transformers from faults Cover scenarios of how transformers are applied in substations
Thur8-12	Line Protection Schemes Review of how impedance line protection works Step distance line protection and the use of multiple zones End-to-end schemes like POTT, PUTT, DCB, and DCUB showing logic diagrams demonstrating how each scheme works
Thur1-5	Breaker Failure Theory & Application Process Breaker failure and how it is generally applied at most electric utilities Analysis of exact sequence with timing used on breaker failure applications Breaker failure on many different drawings with each representation explained in full detail
