Proposal for Tutorial for IEEE PES GM, Tampa, June 2007

Distribution Automation The concept of distribution automation dates back to the 70’s. The main motivation was to use evolving computer and communications technology to improve operating performance of distribution systems. Initially, a few small pilot projects were implemented by a few utilities to test the concept. In the 80’s, we saw several major pilot projects. By the 90’s the technology had matured and that resulted in several large and many small projects at various utilities. It was expected that most of the utilities would embark on large-scale distribution automation. However, many utilities found it difficult to justify distribution automation based on hard cost-benefit numbers. Business uncertainties due to deregulation and restructuring of the power industry slowed implementation of distribution automation. Now, there is renewed interest in distribution automation due to emergence of new technologies, specifically new measuring devices and sensors, more powerful and refined communication equipment, highly advanced computing equipment, advanced power electronics equipment, and new control and protection ideas. The Distribution Automation Working Group offered tutorials on Distribution Automation in 1988 and in 1998. The technology has changed significantly since 1998 and thus we feel that it is the right time to offer the tutorial again. A tentative outline of the tutorial and resumes of some the speakers are attached. We propose to prepare a text, but the full text might not be available during the first offering. In that case, we will provide PowerPoint slides for those sections that don’t have the text. Speakers: Anil Pahwa – Kansas State University Doug Staszesky – S&C Electric N.D.R.

My career has included 14 years of field engineering and operations experience combined with 19 years of high level technical engineering work including Transformer Loading and Analysis, Distribution Overcurrent Protection and Relaying, Power Quality, Harmonics Studies, Surge Protection, Reliability Studies, and Special Projects and Problem solving. I supervised a field engineering office of 18 employees for 4 years and directed engineering and operations activities for a 30,000 customer district of an electric utility for 8 years. My experience includes work with EMTP in modeling power system transient studies and use of SuperHarm in modeling and solving field harmonics problems. I have extensive experience in development of optimized targeted reliability improvement programs. I created a multiple initiative, targeted reliability improvement programs that improved distribution system SAIDI from 123 to 78 in a 4 year period at minimum cost. I have been a member of the IEEE Transformers Committee and of the IEEE Surge Protective Devices Committee. I am actively involved in several standards working groups of the IEEE T&D committee and was a key contributor to the IEEE 1366 standard on reliability definitions. I was one of the utility technical advisors to the EPRI Rocket Triggered Lightning Research Project and continue to assist as a utility consultant to the University of Florida Lightning Research Laboratory. I have been instructor for Power Systems Engineering at the University of Central Florida as well as many classes for IEEE on power quality and lightning protection of power systems. I have also been the lead engineer for resolving stray voltage issues, railroad induction problems and other power system issues. I joined S&C Electric Company in 2005 as a Senior Consultant. I have made several presentations on reliability and distribution automation. I also have taught courses on Power Quality.
