PDHS AND CEUS FOR ATTENDEES

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) offered by IEEE

A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing educa-tion experience under responsible, qualified direction and instruction. A unit generally consists of coursesof study that refresh, update and enhance knowledge, skills and experience of professional personnel.

Providers of CEUs must be approved by an accrediting body within a jurisdiction such as state/province orcountry. IEEE is an Authorized Provider of CEUs through The International Association of ContinuingEducation and Training (IACET), and has adopted IACET guidelines and criteria for all its continuing profes-sional development programs. Authorized Providers of the IACET must reapply every five years and under-go a rigorous assessment to maintain their status.

IACET-approved CEUs are accepted by accrediting bodies in every state within the US and by most othercountries; therefore, certification of IEEE CEUs by individual states and countries is not required. If IEEE isnot included on a states list of approved CEU providers, it is because the listing is of CEUs providers specif-ically certified by the state and does not include the names of the more global IACET CEU providers.

Any course that offers CEUs which is presented by an IEEE entity has been reviewed and approved accord-ing to standards set by IACET. All registered students who complete an IEEE course offering CEUs willreceive a certificate from the IEEE attesting to the CEUS earned by the attendee.

It is up to each student to determine if a specific course or program fills the needs of the discipline orcertifying body for which the CEUs are intended.

Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

Continuing professional education for licensed engineers is measured in Professional Development Hours(PDH). A PDH is one contact hour of instruction or presentation. Currently, approximately thirty states man-date Professional Development Hours to maintain P.E. licensure, each with varying requirements.

CEUs readily translate into PDHs (1CEU=10 PDHs), though PDHs do not convert automatically to CEUs.

The licensee is responsible for maintaining records to be used to support PDH credits claimed. PES doesnot track this information, and no certificates are provided. Unlike the precedure for CEUs, courses are notpre-approved by the IEEE for PDHs.

At many PES meetings, forms are readily available that can be completed by attendees of any session andsigned by the session chair to verify attendance. The completed forms are held by each attendee. Theyare not submitted to IEEE. It is up to each licensee to provide the forms to the certifying body or employer,and to determine if a specific course or program fills the needs of the discipline or certifying body an/oremployer for which the PDHs are intended.

TECHNICAL TOURSTechnical tours are a unique element of the PES General Meeting technical program. This year, the follow-ing tours are being offered to registered attendees of the General Meeting. All tours depart from the hotelsSeaport Lobby entrance on Kettner Drive. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier than the posted departure time.Advance registration for all technical tours is required. There is no on-site registration for technical tours.Tour conditions require that attendees wear clothing with long sleeves/long pants.

NOTE: Due to the live working environment through which the tours are conducted, the tour routes may takethe visitor over unpaved surfaces and onto elevated platforms.

Power Quality From Lightning and Harmonics To Variable Energy Resources

Date/Time: Sunday, 22 July, 2012 8:00AM 5:00PM

Room: Manchester C, Second Level

Surya Santoso, University of Texas at AustinRoger C. Dugan, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)Mark McGranaghan, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

The aging power grid infrastructure coupled with the elements of nature and increasing penetration of vari-able energy sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic generation can give rise to poor electric powerquality. Incompatibilities between the electrical characteristics of todays power system and the expecta-tions for loads are the root causes of nearly all power quality problems. A decrease in the supply voltagefor a fraction of a second can trip a microprocessor-based motor controller offline, disrupting an entire man-ufacturing process. Another example may involve poor feeder voltage regulation due variable wind or solarpower causing short term over- and undervoltages. This course provides a solid foundation in understand-ing common power quality phenomena, root causes of power quality disturbances, solutions, impacts ofvariable generation, monitoring, technical standards, and industry trends.

The topics included are: markets design, types of marketauctions and electricity price formation, role of the Independent System Operators in different markets, trans-mission pricing paradigms, congestion management, firm transmission rights and ancillary services man-agement. Various operational practices adopted by electricity markets in North America are discussed inthe context of the above topics.

Mikael Halonen, Saudi Electricity Company, Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaChris Horwill, Alstom Grid, UKDaniel J. Sullivan, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc.Heinz Tyll, SiemensRajiv K. Varma, The University of Western Ontario (UWO), London, Canada

Fast control of reactive power by means of shunt-connected static devices is a proven technology. Workinggroup I4 on Static Var Compensators of the High Voltage Power Electronics Stations Subcommittee hasmaintained a list of industrial and utility Static Var Compensator (SVC) installations around the world andfound more than 500 of these installations still in service after 25 years of operation. SVCs are still consid-ered today as a competitive solution to meet future needs of reactive power compensation.

Past tutorials offered on Static Var Compensators have focused mainly on power system aspects and onjustifying the need for SVCs. This tutorial is focusing on equipment design and operations. A brief reviewof system aspects which justifies the need for fast reactive power compensation and a description of vari-ous applications are presented. It is intended to provide participants with a solid understanding of basiccomponents and their integration in substation design, of control system and its dynamic performance andcommissioning of SVCs.

This tutorial targets engineering personnel, plant and design engineers, and anyone responsible for: (1)validating the dynamic performance during the design stage and (2) ensuring reliable operations of StaticVar Compensators.

Room: Manchester G, Second Level

Jay Britton, CIM Task Force memberAlan McMorran, CIM Task Force memberMargaret Goodrich, CIM Task Force Vice ChairEnamul Haq, CIM Task Force Chair

This tutorial is organized by the CIM task force on power system information modeling under CAM subcom-mittee.

The common information model (CIM) is an established IEC standard for modeling power system data andinformation. Recently the CIM standard has been adopted by many utilities worldwide for exchanging powersystem network models and enterprise wide integration. It is necessary to educate the power system engi-neers, data modelers and IT integration personnel on the various aspects of this CIM standard so that moreand more utilities worldwide can adopt this standard. This tutorial will provide the basic understanding ofpower system information modeling using CIM. It will provide in depth knowledge of power system modelexchange between utilities and enterprise integration using CIM standard.

The attendees of this tutorial will become familiar with the use of the CIM standard as it relates to the vari-ous applications including smart grid. It is expected that the attendees will gain sufficient knowledge aboutthe various aspects of CIM so that they can facilitate the adoption of the CIM standard in their respectiveenterprise.
