DELIVERY SYSTEMS 1 <br />D-VAR STATCOM System Helps <br />Large Canadian Wind Farm Meet <br />the "Grid Code" <br />Manisha Ghorai, American <br />Superconductor Corporation <br />How a hybrid dynamic reactive <br />compensation system is configured to <br />assist wind farms in meeting AESO`s wind <br />interconnection requirements including <br />power factor, voltage control,. and LVRT <br />requirements. <br />CU Project: An Introduction to High <br />Voltage Direct Current Transmrssron <br />Jack Christofersen and Karl Mortensen, <br />GRE-retired <br />The North Dakota -Minnesota, <br />Cooperative Power Association and <br />United Power Association ICU) Project <br />will be described to provide an <br />irrtroducfion to High Voltage Direct <br />Current Transmission (HUDC). The intent <br />is to supplement the University of <br />Minnesota's leadership in the National <br />Science Foundation Program to Reform <br />the Electrical Energy Systems Curriculum. <br />EPRI's Research on HTLS Advanced <br />Conductors <br />John Chan, Electric Power Research <br />Institute <br />A number of advanced conductors using <br />a composite core have been developed <br />in recent years to increase the transfer <br />capacity of transmission lines. EPRI is <br />conducting Humorous tests to evaluate <br />and predict the performance of these <br />conductors. <br />PEVs and the Electric Grid -- <br />Challengesand Opportunities <br />Rana Mukerji, New York Independent <br />System Operator <br />This paper describes the impact of <br />increasing levels ofplug-in electric <br />vehicles on the nation's electricity grid. It <br />outlines the effect of different charging <br />schemes on the electric system loadings <br />and suggests several mechanisms to <br />integrate increasing volumes of plug-in <br />electric vehicles. The tie-in with <br />renewable resources is also explored. <br />RELAYING I <br />Smart Grid Substation: Case Study <br />of the Substation of the Future <br />Andrew Beckel and John Grimm, Xcel <br />Energy <br />This presentation wilt describe the recent <br />efforts at the Xcel Energy Merriam Park <br />Substation to implement a complete <br />control system using the IEC61850 <br />automation standard. It also will describe <br />the effortsto integrate various substation <br />monitoring systems such as battery <br />monitors, transformer oil monitors, and <br />cameras. <br />Performance Issues with Directional <br />Comparison Blocking Schemes <br />Bogdan Kasztenny, Schweitzer <br />Engineering Laboratories <br />This presentation reviews a number of <br />field cases of DCB scheme misoperations. <br />A case is made for switching from <br />blocking to permissive schemes when <br />digital relays and channels are used. <br />Fundamentals of Transformer Inrush <br />Suhag Patel, GE Digital Energy- Multilin <br />This paper will present an overview of the <br />transformer inrush phenomenon and its <br />impact on differential relays. Prevention <br />of misoperation on transformer and <br />generator differential relays will also be <br />discussed. <br />NERG Standards for Generator- <br />Transmission System Coordination <br />Charles Mozina, Beckwith Electric <br />The paper outlines current NERC <br />standardsthat address coordination of <br />generator and transmission line <br />protection. it discusses setting guidelines <br />for generator protective elements, which <br />misoperated during the 2003 blackout <br />
