Orange Book™— IEEE STD 446, Recommended Practice for Emergency and Standby Power Systems for Industrial and Commercial Application

PES presents Substation Grounding : Common issues & the importance of reviewing existing "Safe" locations. 

For IEEE DAY 10.4.2022 - There are two grounding presentations with dinner being served between the two presenations. Come for either one or come for both and enjoy the dinner.  

Each in person presentation is worth one PDH.

Grounding presentation based on the IEEE Orange Book.

Brought to you by IEEE Nebraska's INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS and POWER & ENERGY Technical Chapters.

The second presentation will begin at 7pm followed by a question and answer session and finally with announcements of other upcomming events.  

One professional development hour PDH will be issued after the event for those who request one at the end of Q&A.

Brian Turner Brian Turner of NPPD

Topic:

Substation Grounding

Presentation Description:

Substations are integral points of interconnection for connecting generation, to transmission lines, to distribution systems. Substations require a Ground Potential Rise (GPR) study to ensure protection of qualified workers.

This presentation will focus on three key areas, i) an introduction to GPR studies - What and Why studies are done, ii) Common issues in Data Collection and important but overlooked components of GPR studies - specifically focused on complications in soil and rock resistivity testing, and iii) case study on the importance of reviewing existing substations particularly when affecting older Sub-T locations. The presentation is best for anyone who conducts GPR studies, contracts out and reviews GPR studies, or anyone interested in learning more about substation grounding. 

Biography:

Brian has four years of experience in substation engineering including all aspects of project scoping, estimating, design, construction support, and project closure. Engineering focus has been on substation grounding studies, arc flash studies and providing electrical expertise across the district. Involved in IEEE Nebraska as the Young Professionals chair and Electronics Communication Coordinator, NSPE coordinating the Northeast Chapter Mathcounts competition. Brian holds a BS degree from South Dakota State University in electrical engineering. He currently works for Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) and is a proud Eagle Scout
