This conference is designed to increase your knowledge and understanding of power generation systems, but does not specifically cover the troubleshooting of systems or their components. Attendees will benefit from classroom training and product demonstrations on:

The Basics - Introduction to Electric Power Systems

• An overview of the elements of electric power systems and examples of simple modeling techniques used to describe them.
• Basic concepts used in control systems are explained to prepare for the further study of generator excitation control and engine speed control.

Engine Control and Protection

• Introduction to engine cranking control and engine protection as outlined by NFPA110, and as applied to engine-generator sets, includes the communication standard J1939.

Generator Control

• Voltage Regulation
• The basics of synchronous generator characteristics
• Voltage regulator function and what to consider when selecting an automatic voltage regulator for a generator
• An introduction to the terminology and concepts associated with the paralleling of generators and synchronizing the system.
• A discussion of the characteristics of paralleled generators and how to design your excitation system to meet typical generator set applications.
• The operation of a generator set in parallel with a utility network
• Static Excitation
• A study of the design of excitation systems to meet specifications of an application.
• Considerations for using a static exciter, including advantages such as performance and efficiency.
• A discussion about proper selection of static excitation system components and their
  effects on application.
• An understanding of how the digital controller is tuned, with pros and cons for each method.
• A discussion about the various types of power system instability and the effects of
  system impedance and excitation on stability.
• An explanation is offered regarding NERC policies as they affect the generator excitation
  system, including operating modes, excitation limiter verification and relay coordination.
• A discussion of the application of a synchronous motor

Protective Relaying and Distributed Generation

• Protective relay basics
• Overview of generator protection; ground fault, phase fault, reverse power, voltage balance, overexcitation, loss of field, and negative sequence.
• An explanation of the concepts of distributed generation
• A review of protection issues related to interconnecting Distributed Generation (DG) with the Power Grid.
• Overview of power transformer protection
