Join us for a technical talk by Mr. Andrei Fernandes Coelho, Supervisor - Protection and Control – P&T at Avangrid

Talk Summary:
The presentation will first explain what Avangrid is and its relationship with Iberdrola, RG&E and NYSEG. The second part is technical and will introduce Protection and Control engineering. In this technical portion, attendees will see a short description of a simplified power system and will learn about the different abnormal conditions, like faults. An oscillography will also be presented, and guidance will be provided in order to teach how to interpret it. At the end, attendees will see a relay one-line and will understand the concept of protection zones applied to that case.
 
Because of the limited room space, registration is required. If you are registered but can't attend, please let us know (mhasan21@binghamton.edu) so we can free up the space for others. Thanks!
