Beckwith Electric is pleased to announce
this year's annual seminar in Clearwater Beach, Florida. This seminar promises to be one
of our best ever so don't let this opportunity pass you by. Seats are
limited, so reserve your place now.
This year we have teamed up with Enoserv, THE premier provider of Automated Protective Relay Test Software
They will be offering a Hands On Lab during our Tuesday Hospitality Night, as well as at the Beckwith Electric facility following the seminar on Friday Aug. 1st.
The folks from Enoserv will be on hand with several popular Relay Test platforms including Doble, EuroSMC, Manta, AVO/Megger & Omicron. Learn how the Enoserv RTS Automated Universal Relay Test Software can help you meet, and exceed FERC regulations by providing you with...
-
Consistent, standardized testing for all relays at each site
-
Enhanced information source by:
Creating standardized communication between technicians
Notes sharing for learning from problems solved by other Users resulting in minimized learning curve on new relays as well as fewer time spent with problems on older relays
-
Dramatically reducing individual test plan development time with new relays at each site for not only efficiency in this area but also quicker testing and reporting
Improves relay technicians’ overall efficiency during maintenance cycles system-wide
-
Increasing system protection integrity by establishing uniformity of all sets of relay data
 What
is it?
This intensive four-day seminar will provide the background
you need to understand the complex subjects of generator, transformer
and distributed generator (DG) interconnection protection. The courses are valuable even if you have a limited knowledge
of power system standards and practices.
Why
attend?
Learn how enhanced generator and transformer protection can
support the power system while maintaining integrity even longer - without
tripping - avoiding blackouts.
Learn more about the nuances and special protection requirements of the
IEEE 1547 standard regarding tie point protection as well as the interconnected
generator protection functions required for anti-islanding, faults and
abnormal operating conditions.
Attend the TWO Enoserv Workshops free of charge, on Tuesday Night July 29th, and Friday Morning Aug. 1st
Who
should attend?
Utility engineers, consultants (especially those involved
with IPP/DG design), equipment/control engineers,
generator packager and manufacturer engineers as well as
others who specify protective relays and develop settings
for these devices.
Where
is it?
The Protection Seminar, daily breakfast and lunch,
Sunday reception, and the Tuesday night hospitality & hands-on lab
will be held in Clearwater Beach, Florida at the Hilton Clearwater Beach
Resort. The resort overlooks the picturesque Gulf of Mexico and sits on
10 beautiful acres of white sandy beach. There will be a Factory Tour
and Round Table Discussion scheduled for Friday, Aug. 1, 2008 at the
Beckwith Electric Factory.
Seminar
Fee
