2012 T and D Technical Program
Tutorials
TUT01 C37.48.1 – A Guide for the Application, Opera-
tion and Coordination of High-Voltage Current-Limiting
Fuses
Monday, May 7, 2012, Room 311A TUT03 Smart Grid 101 – The Basics of Smart Grid
8:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Presenters:
John Leach, semi-retired co-founder and former co-
owner of Hi-Tech Fuses Inc.
Dan Gardner, Thomas & Betts Corp.
Alan Yerges, Cooper Power Systems
This tutorial, developed by the High Voltage Fuses
Subcommittee of the IEEE PES Switchgear committee,
presents information as to how different types of High
Voltage (>1000 V) fuses work, and are applied, with an
emphasis on current-limiting fuses.
The tutorial is based on, and summarizes, IEEE
C37.48.1, a guide first published in 2002. This was de-
veloped in tutorial form as an outgrowth of efforts to
incorporate full range current-limiting fuse technology
into other fuse standards. During that process it was dis-
covered that many of the users of current-limiting fuses
were not fully aware of how the fuses worked and the
reasons for typical application and coordination rules.
The tutorial was therefore developed to teach and ex-
plain key topics that need to be understood to correctly
apply these fuses. It was felt that the needs are as rele-
vant (or more so) today as then, so the guide was revised
in 2011.

SS01 Super Session #1: Addressing the Aging Transmis-
sion and Distribution Infrastructure
Wednesday, May 9, 2012, Room 314
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Chair/Moderator: Ray Desouza, Progress Energy Florida
Session Summary: Investment in transmission and distri-
bution infrastructure has regularly been cited as a critical
need. Included in the assessment is the requirement to
upgrade or replace aging systems, which often presents
unique challenges. What are utilities doing about this?
How are they justifying the significant financial invest-
ment on these projects and programs? The session will
review transmission and distribution projects undertaken
by some utilities, examine how funding challenges were
met, share examples of leveraging technology to enhance
existing capacity and gain efficiency, and discuss the risk
of increased regulatory oversight in this area.
Come join a panel of experts for a discussion of these
vital topics. Questions and comments from the audience
will be encouraged.

Chair/Moderator: Mitch Bradt, PE, University of
Wisconsin-Madison
Session Summary: The installation of solar and wind en-
ergy in the T&D grid has presented the opportunity to
enhance energy diversity and independence while at the
same time, creating challenges to engineers as to inte-
grating it into the existing grid. As utilities and develop-
ers strive to install generating capacity to meet customer
demand and state mandates and goals, many others have
risen to the challenge of accommodating these new, vari-
able generation sources. This panel session will provide
a broad view on the integration topic with timely presen-
tations related to reliability, economics, technology and
case studies.

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Moderator: Carl J. Turner, PE, SAIC Energy Environ-
ment and Infrastructure
Session Summary: State and federal legislation and in-
creased residential and commercial customer interest
in renewable resources, energy reliability, and sustain-
ability continue to put pressure on utilities to allow a
greater penetration of distributed generation into their
systems. Investigation continues into the possibilities of
employing microgrids and dynamic islanding concepts
to potentially increase system reliability, threatening to
exact a paradigm shift in the way distribution systems
are operated, maintained, and constructed. Engineers
are left with the challenges of meeting these demands
with an infrastructure that was not designed for such
a purpose. Development of technical standards of prac-
tice and contractual/market related standards as well as
deployment of greater numbers of intelligent electronic
devices on utility distribution systems continue to aid en-
gineers, but are works in progress. Utilities are left with
the decision on how far to go with significant changes in
policies and practices while staying in position to deal
with future market and technology developments. This
panel session will provide case studies of practical imple-
mentations, research topics, and the latest updates on
standards and the regulatory outlook. Questions and
discussion are encouraged.

This course, conducted via the Florida Engineering So-
ciety, is designed to fulfill the four hour course require-
ment for Professional Engineers registered in the State
neers with other state registrations. The primary objec-
tive of the course will be an overview of Chapter 471 of
the Florida Statutes and Chapter 61G15 of the Florida
Administrative Code. The session will finish with a quiz
which must be completed and returned for proper credit
to be awarded to Florida Professional Engineers. The
Florida “Laws and Rules” include coverage of engineer-
ing ethics topics and generally two hours of attendance
will be sufficient as professional development hours for
states that require 2 hours of ethics training. It is recom-
mended that engineers confirm applicability with their
state of licensure. Certificates will be available for engi-
neers licensed in other states to apply credit for the cor-
responding professional development hours.

Sponsored by: Transmission and Distribution Committee
Chair: Jignesh Solanki, West Virginia University
Panel Summary: Smart Grid initiatives like installation of
automatic meter reading, plug in electric vehicles, solar and
wind generation at customer premises has brought funda-
mental change in distribution systems operation. Some of
these initiatives allow electric utilities to implement demand
response, volt/var control and other new applications to op-
timize the distribution grid and provide benefits to consum-
ers. The panel will address the new aspects of integrated
volt/var control and will include discussions on following
research issues: What are the challenges of load modeling in
presence of metering data? What benefits can be achieved
by integration of volt/var and demand response? How dis-
tributed energy resources play a role in operation of volt/
var control? What are the new factors affecting load mod-
els? How can we use the data provided by advanced meter-
ing infrastructure to model the distribution feeder for volt/
var control?

Sponsored by: Energy Development and Power Generation
Chair: Ning Lu, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Panel Summary: This panel is going to discuss the poten-
tial role of demand response in climate change technology
options. Less consumption results in direct energy savings
and carbon emission. Choosing the right time to consume
the right amount electricity may increase system efficiency,
reduce emission, improve system reliability, and result in
a more economical operation. In addition, recent studies
show that demand response programs can help integrate
more intermittent renewable resources into the power grid
by coping with the generation variations. The panelists are
expected to discuss technical requirements and market po-
tentials of different demand response applications and to
what extent they can contribute to emission reduction and
renewable integration.

Session Summary: In the evolving utility environment, fi-
nancial and market forces continue to demand a more op-
timal and profitable operation of the power system. Now,
more than ever, advanced technologies are paramount for
the reliable and secure operation of power systems, includ-
ing effective integration of renewable resources. To achieve
both operational reliability and financial profitability, it has
become clear that more efficient utilization and control of
the existing power system infrastructure is required. Power
electronics based equipment has been termed Flexible AC
Transmission Systems-FACTS, and can provide proven
technical solutions to allow for improved power system
operation with minimal infrastructure investment, environ-
mental impact, and implementation time compared to the
construction of new transmission lines. This Panel Session
presents and explores several recent successful applications
of power electronics as part of the electrical power system
(including FACTS and HVDC converter stations) and pres-
ents advancements of FACTS controls, modeling, and re-
newable energy application.

Chair: Anish Gaikwad, EPRI
Panel Summary: Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) or
voltage optimization refers to optimizing the service volt-
age for the purpose of reducing power and/or energy con-
sumption. Although CVR has been studied for many years,
it has got renewed attention because of increasing empha-
sis on improving distribution efficiency. Recent studies by
Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance NEEA and Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI) have shown CVR as one
of the most attractive energy savings investments in terms
of kilowatt-hour saved. With the advancement in CVR re-
lated technology, many utilities have or are in the process of
implementing CVR on their feeders. The critical question is
how to quantify the benefits of CVR for a given distribution
feeder. A lot of research is being done in this area to come
up with approaches to quantify the energy savings and CVR
factors (defined as percent reduction in load consumption
divided by the corresponding percent reduction in voltage).

Collecting, Categorizing and Utilization of Information Re-
lated to Electric Power Distribution Interruption Events.”
Papers presented will include discussions concerning the
guidelines for categorizations of electric power interruption
events experienced on electric distribution systems; the abil-
ity to geospatially display current outage restoration status
for internal and external communication in a near real-time
manner; methods of presenting and evaluating performance
patterns, identify actions taken to remedy performance gaps
and discuss effectiveness of these methods for improving sys-
tem reliability; measurements of effectiveness of existing dis-
tribution automation systems, improvements in reliability to
areas fed by one substation, storm restoration performance
today versus prior years, a trial prioritization method for ar-
eas with frequent interruptions; and sophisticated methods
utilizing statistical process control charts or design of experi-
ment techniques used by analysts to reliably assess impact of
reliability improvement programs.

ics such as solar storm induced Geo-Magnetic Disturbance
(GMD), overcoming cost barriers to increase distribution
transformer efficiency, and modeling of insulation system
and transformers’ role in transient Recovery Voltage. Come
and learn from the real experts instead of getting caught-up
by the recent sensationalism in the press about the dooms-
day scenario on the Geo-Magnetically Induced Current

Chair: Bob Saint, National Rural Electric Cooperative As-
sociation
Panel Summary: The interconnection of small scale distrib-
uted generation on distribution systems has been occur-
ring for some time. IEEE 1547, first established in 2003,
has proven to be adequate for most of the situations that
it was intended to address. However, as we are beginning
to see penetration levels higher than envisioned when IEEE
1547 was first released, shortcomings of that standard are
beginning to emerge. This panel session gives two examples
of adverse impacts to the electric power system when IEEE
1547 is strictly followed, one on voltage stability of a re-
gional transmission system and the other on distribution
feeder voltage fluctuations. In addition, we will see how the
two active working groups within the IEEE 1547 series of
standards are addressing these kinds of issues; P1547.7 -
Draft Guide to Conducting Distribution Impact Studies for
Distributed Resource Interconnection and P1547.8 - Draft
Recommended Practice for Establishing Methods and pro-
cedures that Provide Supplemental Support for Implementa-
tion Strategies for Expanded Use of IEEE Standard 1547.

Wednesday, May 9, 2012, Room 311D
8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Sponsored by: Transmission and Distribution Committee
Chair: Robert J. Nelson, Siemens
Panel Summary: The last few years have seen a growth in
the planned and actual use of series compensation to accom-
modate new wind capacity. In particular, the Competitive
Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) lines being developed for
ERCOT will be series compensated. Other major transmis-
sion projects in the West and in Canada are likely to feature
series compensation as well. In consideration of the growth
of series compensation, as well as some anomalous incidents
associated with wind turbine operation in series compen-
sated systems, the IEEE T&D Committee initiated action to
sponsor two Panel Sessions on Integrating Wind Power into
Series Compensated Transmission Systems. This first session
will discuss background, theory, and design considerations.
It consists of a panel of experts on series compensation and
wind turbine design will discuss why series compensation
will be used, what transmission design objectives are at-
tained with the use of series compensation, and what char-
acteristics of wind turbines need to considered to interface
them with series compensated systems.

Panel Summary: Smart grid concept has been reinforcing its
importance urging the need for efficient and realistic solu-
tions that make it successful in practice. The impact of smart
grid in transmission and distribution networks poses new
technical and economic challenges that require innovative
solutions. These solutions should prove to adequately work
for tomorrow networks, being able to face the new require-
ments, including the integration of renewable based genera-
tion, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and demand
response. Technical solutions and business models must be
supported by adequate data analysis and mining so that the
future dynamic and competitive environment challenge can
be fully addressed. This is the focus of the panel on “Data
Mining Applications for Smart Grids”, which will involve
both academic and industrial panelists presenting innovative
and realistic applications.

Sponsored By: Transmission and Distribution Committee
Chair: Andrew Phillips, EPRI
Panel Summary: Composite insulators have been applied
since the 1970s at transmission voltages for a range of rea-
sons including lower cost, reducing contamination outages
and addressing vandalism concerns. The electric field (E-field)
distribution along the insulator is an important factor which
impacts the life expectancy as high E-field magnitudes can
result in a discharge activity which in-turn can damage the
insulating material resulting in failure. In order to reduce the
www.ieeet-d.org

high E-fields close to the ends of the insulator corona or grad-
ing rings are applied. This panel session paper will present the
impact of the E-field distribution on the short and long term
performance of composite insulators; how to model the E-
field distribution; approaches to design corona rings to man-
age the E-field distribution; and laboratory testing to evaluate
the performance of corona and grading rings.

Chair: Aaron St. Leger, United States Military Academy
Session Summary: With increased information, control and
communications, a host of scheduling applications arises
in emerging power systems. Analysis and computation of
control settings and schedules for maintenance and energy
resources are needed. These applications can be driven by
economic indicators and electrical requirements. Specifically,
integrated tools for determining inspection schedules and set
points for both aggregate and component loads and inter-
mittent sources, e.g. wind are needed. It is noted they are of
particular concern for isolated systems and microgrids; thus,
two examples will be presented.

Chair: Julio Romero Aguero, Quanta Technology
Panel Summary: Self-healing or self-restoration technologies
aim at performing fault location and isolation, and service
restoration of power distribution systems in an automated
fashion. Some of the intrinsic benefits of this smart distri-
bution component are increased reliability, more efficient
use of manpower and resources, and increased operational
flexibility. Self-healing technologies are an inherent part of
the Smart Grid and are expected to play a pivotal role in
modern and future distribution systems. The switchgear, in-
formation technologies and communications infrastructures
required for the implementation of self-healing schemes are
also the foundation for other advanced smart distribution
applications such as automatic system reconfiguration and
system optimization. Therefore, an increasing number of
self-healing initiatives are being pursued and implemented
by utilities around the world as part of the power delivery
modernization. The objective of this panel is to discuss re-
cent experiences, advances and trends in the application of
self-healing technologies on power distribution systems.

Wind Plant Short-Circuit Contributions (panel session)
Thursday, May 10, 2012, Room 311F
8:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Sponsored By: Transmission and Distribution Committee
Chair: Ron Harley, Georgia Institute of Technology
Panel Summary: Wind plant electrical system designers and
protection engineers have to take into consideration the
characteristics of wind turbine generators when determining
short-circuit duties of equipment and protective relay set-
tings. Because of the wide range of commercially-available
generators and limitations on available information due to
proprietary issues, it is often necessary to make broad as-
sumptions on the behavior of generators during faults and
their short-circuit current contributions. This session is de-
signed to provide attendees with a broad background on the
types of wind turbine generators, their design, short-circuit
characteristics, modeling, and model validation. Several dif-
ferent wind turbine generator manufacturers will participate
in this session. An overview of considerations for wind plant
system design and power system protection issues will also
be presented.

Chair: Tony Baker, K-Line Insulators
Panel Summary: High voltage insulators to satisfy overhead
line load and strength requirements are currently selected
based on their strength limit resistance. Most line compo-
nents though are selected according to Load Resistance Fac-
tor Design (LRFD) in the 2012 edition of the NESC. To ac-
commodate LRFD for insulators, service limit resistances for
ceramic and composite insulators must be determined and
related to the rated strengths as given in current ANSI C29
Standards for insulators. Converting insulator rated strengths
to service limit resistances will be described and suggestions
for assigning strengths and strength factors for insulators for
inclusion in future NESC editions will be discussed.

About the Facility:
The SF6 Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) is an urban low
profile substation that feeds the downtown Orlando
load. The GIS operates at 115kV in a 5 position ring bus
configuration. It is made up of three transmission lines
and two transformer bays.  The first two 115kV lines
are high pressure fluid filled (HPFF), and the third is
XLPE.  Each transformer bay is made up of two 20MVA
power transformers with the high voltage bushings fully
enclosed in GIS bus duct.
The 115kV GIS includes circuit breakers, discon-
necting switches, ground switches, current transform-
ers, and voltage transformers which are mounted in
sealed enclosures.  These items plus the busbar system,
switchgear. The main busbar is a 3 phase common en-
closure rated at 2,000Amps. The terminators are G&W
paper perforated stress cones and comprise part of the
HPFF system. Cathodic protection is used to protect the
pipe that enclosed the underground HPFF cable, and has
a Dairyland isolator to protect the system from surges.
The GIS switchgear was manufactured in Japan and
was a collaboration between G.E. and Hitachi. The sub-
station has been in operation since 1987.

About the Facility:
Polk Power Station is a state-of-the-art IGCC facility. It
was among the first large-scale commercial demonstra-
tions of this combination of “clean coal” technology and
highly-efficient combined-cycle technology. Gasification
is a chemical process that combines coal or other fuels,
such as petroleum coke, with oxygen to create a clean-
burning gas, which fuels the combustion turbine to gen-
erate electricity.  Waste heat makes high-pressure steam
for additional electricity from the steam turbine.

Project Summary:
This project has five primary components: a one-mega-
watt photovoltaic (PV) system, four nominal 10-kilo-
watt PV systems, a Climate-Change Education Center
38
(CCEC), a statewide marketing program, and an eco-
nomic development program. The showcase one-mega-
watt PV system is the largest rooftop PV system in the
southeast United States.  The four smaller “experimen-
tal” PV systems were selected to demonstrate various
promising PV technologies. The education center and its
marketing program were established to promote the use
of renewable energy while helping to educate the pub-
lic on climate change issues. The economic development
program helps create RET jobs, and it attracts capital
investments by RET companies.
Energy Production, Environmental and Technical Infor-
mation: The one-megawatt system will produce approxi-
mately 1,400 megawatt hours of electricity per year (this
is equivalent to the power used by 100 typical homes).  Center.
