2019 IEEE CHATTANOOGA SECTION ANNUAL MEETING
The annual meeting is a time of food and gathering for the IEEE members of the Chattanooga Section. A key note speaker from EPB Chattanooga will discuss a topic related to Smart Grid Distribution Automation. Possible topics include system protection, DSCADA, distribution automation, data visualization and waveform analysis enabling system improvements.The section leadership will discuss with the membership accomplishments of the past year and lay out the path forward for 2018.
The following dinner will be served. Veggie option available upon request:
Seasonal Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Biography:
IEEE-PES 2019 Chattanooga
Bob Hay – Professional Engineer with 37 years engineering, system design and planning experience. He is a senior EE in the Smart Grid Development department at EPB. The department is responsible for system protection, DSCADA, distribution automation, data visualization and waveform analysis enabling system improvements. Before joining Smart Grid Development, Mr. Hay was a member of the fiber design team that built a system to support smart grid communications, Internet, video and phone services.
Topic Abstract:
Title: Waveform Analysis reveal “the secret life of a circuit”
Smart Grid Distribution Automation: EPB deployed approximately 1,200 S&C IntelliRupters® with a completion in April 2012. Visualization dashboards that overlaying circuit breaker fault records with IntelliRupter® waveforms produce a single picture like a ‘birds eye (waveform) view’ of the circuit. This tool reduces engineering time from hours to minutes. It is now possible to identify a conductor slap event in seconds compared with pre-smart grid it may take years to find where two conductors came together. Under development is a MATLAB analysis tool that measures magnitude and duration of electrical disturbances with the goal to automatically identify events that require “eyes on the data” – the unexplained disturbances that need engineering attention.
