Tutorial Details: December 18, 2010:Arc Flash Mitigation & Calculations (2 days)Electric arc flash hazard was silent for years and out of sudden it has become a major life threat of hundreds of thousands around the globe. In US, a fatality is recorded every day. Electric Arc flash creates temperatures four times hotter than the sun surface, still burring at distance 146 millions o kilometers. In addition, flying objects with molten cupper at speed 700 MPH and sound wave at 100 PSI are natural results of arc flash. This devastating hazard has called for the release of NFPA 70 Standard calling for Electrical Safety in the Work Space. Utilities and industrial companies are all competing and struggling to achieve safer workplace through new technologies, personal protective equipment (PPES), all which arc flash calculation is a cornerstone. In this tutorial, you will learn:
Energy Optimization (1 day)
In this fast dynamic changing world economy energy conservation or in more general term energy efficiency optimization in has become everyone’s business especially in the industrial community. Catering after its conscious consideration in any industrial facility means less energy bill and more cost-effective plants expansions. In this tutorial,” Introduction to Energy Integration Using Pinch technology”, the instructor will be sharing with the audiences the theoretical and practical aspects of energy integration in industrial facilities. The goal of this short course is to introduce to the industrial community the concept of energy integration and its growing application in process plants design and retrofit. The course will enable the audience learn, how to conduct energy assessments for their Industrial facilities, how to apply pinch technology for heat recovery optimization, how to target for minimum heating and cooling utilities and select the right mix of energy utilities and how to design/ retrofit simple heat exchanger networks. The targeted audiences of this course are plant’s process, chemical, mechanical and industrial engineers as well as, plant’s energy engineers/coordinators. Substation Automation (1 day)As we are still suffering from 50/60 Hz frequency ratings and different transmission and distribution voltage levels dictated by North America and Europe standards, this bitter experience is no longer repeated in substation automation. The World is like a small village which makes it important to standardize in one communication standard and protocol (IEC61850) among intelligent electronic devices(IEDs) such as relays, meters, test equipment…etc to make sure all IEDs talk to each other without interpreters. In this tutorial, you will learn:
Renewable Energy (1 day)
To resolve shortage in energy resources , it is important to look for renewable energies to ensure continuous supply and clean environment. Solar and wind energies are abundant in the Middle East, so it is attractive to think about converting these energies to electric power. This can be learned in this tutorial through which you will learn:
Presenter: Dr.Patric Kleineidam, Lahmeyer International GmbH  Smart Grid & Synco-Phasors (1 day)
Smart Grid is becoming a glowing target in all over the world to make electricity smarter and more efficient in terms of fuel consumption, greenhouse emissions reduction, operations flexibility and maintenance optimization. To achieve these targets, smart grids employee advanced and diverse technologies such as intelligent sensing, phasor measurement units, integrated communications and control methodologies . Smart grids make power system perform better and live longer. In this tutorial, you will learn:

IP and Wireless Technologies & Applications Supporting the Energy SectorThis tutorial is intended to cover the various technologies and Applications pertaining to IP and Wireless as applicable to the Energy Sector. The first part of the tutorial will cover IP technology, design and implementation including IP convergence (voice, data and video) that are currently in use as well as challenges in implementing those technologies to support major Oil and Gas companies. Part II of the tutorial will highlight Wireless technologies principles and applications along with case studies to support the Energy Sector. Success Stories (1 Day)Nothing is as valuable as real experiences and actual stories especially in electric power engineering where formula and math can not resolve challenging issues. In this tutorial, successful stories covering challenging installations and difficult troubleshooting cases will be presented to enrich the participants with the tools and inspiration to resolve the same or similar cases. In this tutorial, you will learn:

Mr. Adamiak received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Cornell University and MS-EE degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York. Mark started his career with American Electric Power (AEP) in the System Protection and Control section where his assignments included R&D in Digital Protection and Control, relay and fault analysis, and system responsibility for Power Line Carrier and Fault Recorders. In 1990, Mark joined General Electric where his activities ranged from advanced development, product planning, application engineering, and system integration. He has been involved in the development of both the UCA and IEC61850 communication protocols, the latter of which is quickly being adopted as the next generation utility communications protocol. He was also the Principal Investigator on the EPRI IntelliGrid Architecture project. Mark is a Fellow of the IEEE, a member of HKN, past Chairman of the IEEE Relay Communication Sub Committee, a member of the U.S. team on IEC TC57 - Working Group 10 on Utility Communication, the U.S. Regular Member for the CIGRE Protection & Control study committee, a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio and a GE Edison award winner for 2008. 
Roy Moxley has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado. He has been involved in electric power systems for 30 years. He joined Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. in 2000 and serves as a senior product manager. Prior to joining SEL, he was with General Electric Company as a relay application engineer, transmission and distribution (T&D) field application engineer, and T&D account manager. He is a registered professional engineer in the State of Pennsylvania and has authored numerous technical papers presented at U.S. and international relay and automation conferences.
