INTRODUCTION TO GROUNDING AND APPLICATION IN WIND & SOLAR POWER PLANTS
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, October 16, 2024 for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. We will be meeting this month at MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the East side of the building.
The cost for dinner is $20 with food from Famous Dave’s BBQ. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

INTRODUCTION TO GROUNDING AND APPLICATION IN WIND & SOLAR POWER PLANTS
Abstract: Evaluating a new or existing grounding system can be challenging, as the effects of each of the data requirements are complex and often misunderstood. The concepts and methodology for evaluating a grounding system heavily focused on substation design due to IEEE Std 80 to reduce hazards for personnel and the public. Renewable wind and solar generation must meet the same personnel safety criteria, but not as well established for industry practices due to continuing design and technology changes. Recently published IEEE guides on wind (IEEE Std 2760) and solar (IEEE Std 2778) power plant grounding design and analysis will be discussed.
