Description:
This tutorial will concentrate on de-carbonization and latest technologies to accelerate solutions for tomorrow’s electrical grid using Gas-Insulated Substations (GIS) with these topics: Alternative solutions to Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) for dielectric insulation and switching. The latest CARB regulations, an update on the supply of alternative gases and latest regulations in North America and internationally. Grid resiliency and physical security benefits using GIS in the design and construction of substations to harden against infrastructure damage due to natural and human-caused physical threats. Mobile GIS for temporary use during construction and for service restoration. FERC order 881: Dynamic current ratings for transmission circuits, ambient adjustable ratings for GIS. GIS condition assessment and maintenance strategies such as life extension or replacement. GIS for wind off-shore applications using AC and DC technologies. IEC 61850 & GIS – Designing substations of the future. Digital twin, IEC 61850-9-2 digital instrumentation. Experience exchange, questions and answers will close this future oriented tutorial.
