Tutorials

The conference features a full complement of tutorials, with a total of nine half-day tutorials spanning a total of two days.  You can attend a total of four tutorials with a simple, single registration, with the material for all tutorials included in this package.  This tutorial program is new in this format and extent at this conference, and we invite you to look at the list of topics below. 

This program is specifically tailored to the practicing engineer in the field, and in particular it can help you fulfill your annual training requirements.  Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Hours to maintain professional license or certification will be available with these tutorials (0.4 CEU per tutorial).  IEEE is an official Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Authorized Provider through The International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET), and has adopted IACET guidelines and criteria for all its continuing professional development programs.

Testimony from Jack Lin, P.E., LEED AP, San Francisco, California:
I'm excited about this upcoming event after reading through this year's tutorial program format and comparing it with the previous IAS annual meetings. I will be attending this IAS annual meeting for the first time, and I hope to benefit technically from this experience. Thanks!”

Modern Protective Device Coordination for Industrial Power Systems
Rasheek Rifaat, P. Eng - Jacobs Engineering

This tutorial discusses the particulars of protective device coordination studies in today’s industrial plant environment.  Primary and back-up protection schemes are revisited in light of the wide applications of multi-function protective devices.  In medium and low voltage systems, utilization of fast acting protection increased to achieve reduction in arc flash energy.  The tutorial discusses various protection schemes that include main industrial power system components (i.e. motor, feeder, bus, transformer and generator protection), and presents associated practical examples.

·         Simulation and performance evaluation (harmonics, dynamic response)
·         Large compressor load induced flicker and use of a Static VAR Compensator

 

Understanding IGBT Modules Used in Industrial Motor Drives
John F. Donlon – Powerex, Inc.
Eric R. Motto - Powerex, Inc.
The IGBT module is the heart of modern industrial motor drives.  Information provided on IGBT module data sheets varies considerably between manufacturers and leaves the user with some questions regarding its proper selection, application, and function in industrial motor drives.  The intent of this tutorial is to aid the user in understanding the proper application of an IGBT.  Questions and concerns a user might have will be addressed by the various techniques and circuit examples that will be presented.

If you have any questions concerning this expanded tutorial program, please contact Donald Dunn (donald.dunn@ieee.org), IAS Education Department Chair.
