PES Seminar: DC Arc Flash Concepts, Testing & Analysis
Arc flash is one of the two hazards primarily associated with electrical power systems. Due to prevalence, the majority of arc flash research has been dedicated to alternating current (AC) electrical systems. However, direct current (DC) electrical systems are becoming increasingly common. Examples of DC systems associated with electrical utilities include Electrical Storage Systems (ESSs), solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and high-voltage (HV) DC transmission lines. This session will review concepts, current models, and recent testing performed by AEP’s Dolan Technology Center regarding DC Arc Flash.
It will be given by Mr. Austin Gaunce from AEP. 1.0 hour of PDH/CPD credit will be provided to attendees as needed.
