Stephen R. Lambert
IEEE Fellow
A graduate of the University of Illinois, Mr. Lambert received both a BSEE and a MS degree in 1969. While at the University he taught machine and basic circuit theory, and in 1969 joined Commonwealth Associates, Inc., where he was involved in over voltage studies, system planning and training. Mr. Lambert joined Power Technologies, Inc. in 1973 where his prime responsibilities were in the areas of insulation coordination, substation equipment applications, transmission line design (insulation and field effects), analytical studies and failure analysis.
In July of 1997, he founded Shawnee Power Consulting. He has performed numerous insulation coordination studies and has prepared many functional substation equipment specifications with one project involving 3600 km of 765 kV line, 12,000 MVA of generation and six 765 kV stations. He developed statistical techniques to determine insulation probability of flashover, and has performed over voltage studies on over 15,000 circuit km of EHV transmission line. For 345 kV through 800 kV line designs, he has specified conductor and bundle characteristics and configurations and defined 60 Hz, lightning and switching surge insulation requirements, as well as determined the line's electric field, audible noise and RI response.
Other over voltage studies have investigated gas insulated substation performance with respect to lightning surges, and the voltages and secondary arc currents resulting from coupling between phases (single-phase switching) and parallel circuits. Most of the projects included preparation of functional specifications for substation equipment including such equipment as thyristor controlled series capacitor banks. He has performed many studies to analyze and specify circuit breaker transient recovery voltage requirements ranging from generator circuit breakers to 1200 kV class power circuit breakers.
Mr. Lambert has conducted many failure analyses on such equipment as switchgear, motors, surge arresters, transformers, reactors, generators, static VAr systems, etc. He was the principal electrical system consultant for a utility involved in a 0.2 billion dollar lawsuit, and led the project team in the investigation of the island wide outage on Oahu as well as the Washington, DC blackout. He has prepared and teaches courses and seminars in insulation coordination, transient recovery voltage analysis, transformer concepts and applications, and shunt capacitor bank design and application.
Mr. Lambert is a Registered Professional Engineer in the States of Michigan, New York and Virginia. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and was also awarded the IEEE Standards Medallion. He served on the IEEE Power & Energy Society Governing Board as Vice President of Technical Affairs and chaired the PES Technical Council. He is a Past Chairman of the IEEE Switchgear Committee, the High Voltage Circuit Breaker Subcommittee, and the TRV WG. He has been appointed to the IEEE Standards Board, was a member of the International Electro-technical Commission, WG 28.1 addressing Insulation Coordination, and the IEEE WG on Insulation Coordination. He is a member of CIGRE.
