To increase reli ability\, the complexity of the power systems has and will increase signif icantly with the addition of multiple sources of power. Reliability depend s on the frequency of failures and the time to repair a faulted segment of the distribution system and on selectivity\, which is the ability of a po wer system to disconnect only the faulted segment.\n\nThis course will des cribe Intelligent Power Distribution Systems that utilize networks and pro grammable logic controllers\, taking advantage of the state-of-the-art of protective relays and other equipment to significantly enhance the reliabi lity of the power distribution system.\nThe course also describes voltage transient issues that can be caused by vacuum circuit breakers that are cl osely coupled to medium voltage transformers in Unit Substations\, and how these issues can be overcome without the use of RC Snubbers.\n\nIntellige nt Power Distribution Systems replace the present need for Paper Drawings and will substantially reduce the time to identify and isolate the faulted segment of a Medium Voltage Power Distribution System by hours or even da ys. They do this by providing real time information on the location of the faulted segment and real time One Line Diagrams.\n\nSpeaker(s): Joseph F.
