IEEE PI2 AUSTIN - UTILITY-SCALE TRANSFORMER WORKSHOP

Share

Utility-scale transformers are purpose-built for specific transmission and distribution system requirements. There are many different design approaches, materials and manufacturing processes that can be used to produce utility-scale transformers. These differences can result in varying levels of system performance, power transfer efficiency, fault tolerance, equipment life, cost and the like.

This one-day workshop will provide instruction on the many options available for the design and manufacture of utility-scale transformers, including phase shifting transformers. It will provide insight into specifying the design and manufacture of transformers that are most appropriate for specific system requirements. A sampling of subject matter to be covered in this workshop is provided at the end of this announcement. After the instructional portion of the program, participants will have the opportunity to see presentations from select well-known transformer manufacturers and meet with them to discuss transformer design and manufacturing.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive a certificate for eight PDHs.

 

The workshop fee includes breakfast tacos, breakfast beverages, break refreshments, lunch and workshop notebook.

 

 

Registration and payment for this workshop must be completed by 4/30/2015
