Protection Systems of Solar Collector Substations (Virtual Event)
During the last few years, there has been a high penetration of substation grade solar generation fields that have "generated" the need to reevaluate or redefine (in some instances) how we implement protection systems. In this seminar, we will present a síntesis of typical substation protection schemes and its related equipment. We’ll also review some of the technical particularities of Inverter Based Resources (IBR) and how they interact with the power system. We’ll be exploring NERC PRC standards that regulate over solar generation protection and its interconnection with the power system. Finally, some bullet points will be discussed about solar generation at the distribution feeder level, and what its operational particularities are in comparison to the substation grade solar facilities.
- System protection review. Principles, and equipment: CTs, PTs, relays, DC system, telecommunication and SCADA.
- Solar generation vs traditional rotating machine generation
- Solar Stations typical designs and protection schemes
- NERC PRC standards overseeing solar substations

Biography:
David Bousot, PE is a Fellow Engineer and currently the Supervisor of System Security, Relay and Control for Tampa Electric (TECO). David has 20 years in the industry and is currently mainly involved with relay settings and system operation troubleshooting in transmission networks 69 kV through 230 kV and generation. Additionally, David worked in substation relay and control design engineering for a total of 3 yrs. Ample experience with fault event recorder operation and fault records analysis. Strong involvement in the technical calculation and compliance documentation for NERC PRC 019-2 and PRC-024, also involved with PRC 001, 002, 004, 023 and 025. Licensed by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. IEEE member and participant of PES PSRC, including groups D36, C18 and H22. Besides relay and control, David has solid experience with substation power equipment maintenance engineering, and some exposure with distribution maintenance engineering.
