      <title>Feb Technical Meeting -- Modeling and Simulation for Weather-Dependent Energy Constrained Environments 3</title>
      <uid>923353E4-6C93-102F-97F7-0050568D3657</uid>
      <description>Topic: Modeling and Simulation for Weather-Dependent Energy Constrained Environments 3
Speaker: Dr. Qiang Le, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, Hampton University

Brief Abstract: The objective of this research is to model and simulate the weather-dependent energy constrained environments. Specifically, we will (1) establish a software demo on the simulation of the weather dependent energy constrained environments, (2) establish cost functions and investigate the optimization algorithms to obtain the best operation parameters in the energy constrained environment, and (3) embed the algorithms into the demo, and test the demo. In this demo, we will take a university campus as an example of an energy constrained system. However, the proposed research is not limited to one university campus.
The broader impacts are: 
(1) it could be applied to any kind of energy constrained systems;
(2) it could be linked to real conditions of Hampton University(HU), and provide operation
strategies with scientific perspectives.

Short Bio: Qiang Le received a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia
Institute of Technology in May, 2006, S.M. in ECE from Georgia Institute of Technology in
2004, and a B.S. in EE from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1995. She also obtained S.M. in Computer Information Science from Clark Atlanta University in 2002. In
August 2006, she joined Hampton University as an assistant professor in the Department of
Electrical Engineering. Her current research interests include multiple-target tracking, data fusion, engineering education research, and resource management.

      <title>Selected Topics in Distribution Protection and  Introduction to Real-Time Power System Control Using Synchrophasors </title>
      <uid>8A7FD684-A1A6-102F-97F7-0050568D3657</uid>
      <description>IEEE Power Energy Society of Hampton Roads will offer our first technical presentation of the year on March 15, 2012 at Old Dominion University, in partnership with IEEE Hampton Roads and with the Batten College of Engineering and Technology.  Please mark your calendar and join us from 6:00 to 7:00 for networking and a light meal, followed by 1:40 minutes of lecture and discussion on Power Protective relays, led by Mr. Larry Wright, PE from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. This session will meet the requirements for 2 hours of Continuing Education Unit credits per the guidance of 18VAC10-20-683 of the APELSCIDLA Board Regulations of the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation.

Modern relays provide protection elements that were historically not used due to cost or panel space restrictions.  These new elements can provide improved protection for the power system. However, protection engineers may be unfamiliar with the behavior of these elements and may make settings choices that lead to unintended consequences. At the same time, engineers must continue to properly employ good settings practices, long established for more traditional elements.

Through analysis of event reports recorded by relays, this seminar will present examples of settings that led to unintended operation of distribution protection, including transformer delta-winding residual overcurrent protection, transformer high-voltage phase overcurrent protection, and others. The nature of the unintended operations will be explored, and methods for calculating more secure settings will be discussed.

This lecture will also present a brief introduction to synchronous vector processor and several practical applications, including automated diagnostics, remedial action schemes, direct state measurement, and stability assessment.

To date, synchronized phasor measurements have been used mainly for power system model validation, post event analysis, real-time display, and other similar activities. However, synchrophasors have a greater potential than monitoring and visualization. Synchrophasors will increasingly contribute to the reliable and economical operation of power systems as real-time control and protection schemes become broadly used. Synchronous phasor measurements are now available in relays and meters; however, a practical means of processing the data in real time had been lacking.
