PES/IAS presents Substation Grounding Common Issues: Lessons Learned on Fall of Potential Data & Mobile Grounding, for IEEE DAY 10.6.2023. Come for the presentation and to enjoy dinner.  

The in-person presentation is worth one PDH.

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

The member networking will begin at 7pm, followed by a question and answer session and 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 of NPPD

Topic:

Substation Grounding - Lessons Learned

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:
