This facilitates the identification of distressed assets as well as prolongs the longevity of the equipment itself. In this workshop we will seek to differentiate and compare various maintenance procedures identifiedwithin the utility industry and highlight not only the benefits but also the safety implications of the various maintenance programs.By attending this workshop you will be:• Identifying important tests to attain the necessary diagnostic information• Examining time-based maintenance and its implications• Highlighting the benefits and lessons learned with conditional based maintenance procedures• Comparing risk-based maintenance with the twoaforementioned practices• Designing efficient maintenance programs to maximizebudget allocation• Prolonging the longevity of assets through effectivemaintenance procedures• Identifying the most cost-efficient, effective maintenance to fit your assetsRichard WintersManager, Substation OperationsBonneville Power Administration10.00 Networking Break10.30 Case StudyApplying Best Practices and Lessons Learnedin Asset Management• Identifying Quick Starts from False Starts• Understanding Asset Management or "Who's on first?"• Developing a Asset Management direction• Ascertaining if there is an Asset Management Standard?• Exploring the BPA Asset Management journeyKevin Carman Asset Management AnalystBonneville Power Administration 11:15 Case Study Ensuring the Sustainable Asset Management of Substation Assets• Maintaining substation relaibility using an asset management strategy• Integrating strategic planning into the managementof substation assets• Examining substation performance focused maintenance• Identifying the benefits of maintenance and repairs vs replacementof assetsRick DruryManager, EngineeringEast Kentucky Power Cooperative12:00 Luncheon MAINTAINING SUBSTATION ASSETS TO ENSURE OPTIMIZATION1:00 Case StudyPresenting an In Depth Analysis of the IEC61850 Standard• Understanding the relation between reliability and SCADA• Explorig communication requirements for optimal relaibility• Examining the protocols associated with IEC61850Dan NordellVice ChairmanIEEE Power Systems Communication Committee1:45 Case Study Implementing a Proof of Concept Test For an IEC 61850Platform: A Manitoba Hydro Perspective• Specifying and selecting a IEC 61850 based station automation platform• Identifying the challenges of meeting redundancy and NERC security requirements in the station • Formulating the design, implementation • Examining results of Proof of Concept testing • Ensuring the development of a sustainable field support & maintenance strategy Brent JorowskiManager, Station DesignManitoba Hydro 2:30 Closing Comments and End of Substation Automation and Engineering Conference 2009ANALYZING THE INTEGRATION OF STANDARDS INTO THE SUBSTATIONBooking Info: www.marcusevansbb.com/Substation2009DAY TWO | Thursday, June 25, 2009WHY YOU MUST ATTEND:Substations are an integral part of the transmission and distributionnetwork in North America and as such are part of an aginginfrastructure that is being overloaded with an increasing growthin demand. The US electric industry is investing more in theirtransmission and distribution networks which by extension resultsin an increase in new substation construction as well as upgrades to theold network. The industry's aim therefore is to create a highly reliable,self-healing power system that rapidly responds to events ensuringuninterrupted service.The marcus evans Substation Automation and EngineeringConference will provide a unique opportunity to discuss boththe technological and new construction and design considerationsof a substation. The program will provide discussion on the recent trendto increase intelligence and analysis tools in the substation, whichhas subsequently empowered grid reliability and decision makingcapabilities in the substation and beyond. In addition there will be a reviewof cost effective design options for substations and the recentlyimplemented IEC 61850 standards. Asset management strategieswill also be explored to fully leverage maintenance programs, increaseefficiency and reliability ensuring necessary ROI.Trachte's Pre-Engineered, Pre-Assembled Substations are flexible in size and design, built around an expandable galvanized steel framework, and available in transportable sizes from 4' to 30' wide. More than 7,300 Trachte buildings have been installed for satisfied customers, the majorityfor substation control and other utility applications.PREFERRED PARTNERS:In the rapidly changing climate of today's power industry, Electricity Today magazine continues to be the publication of choice for North America'sutility transmission and distribution sectors.
