2024 IEEE PES 16th Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)
2024 IEEE PES 16th Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC 2024) will be held on 25th–27th October 2024 in Nanjing, China, organized by Hohai University, and co-sponsored by State Grid Jiangsu Electrical Power Co., LTD and IEEE PES Nanjing Chapter. The conference aims to create a knowledge-sharing platform for researchers and industry professionals to present and discuss contemporary and emerging technologies. The conference will be conducted on-site with face-to-face (F2F) oral and poster presentations. The conference will set the Best Paper Award. The conference papers will be published by the IEEE Xplore website and indexed by EI, and high-quality papers will be recommended to Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy (MPCE), CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems (CSEE JPES), and others.
IEEE PES China Satellite Technical Committee Work Exchange Meeting | Henan, China
The “2024 Zhongyuan Electric Forum and Zhongyuan Electric Equipment Expo and IEEE PES China Satellite Technology Committee Work Exchange Annual Meeting” jointly organized by Xuchang Electric Industry Association, Zhongyuan Electric Laboratory, Zhongyuan Electric Valley Development Service Center, IEEE PES Power System Protection and Control Technical Committee (China) and other units will be held in Xuchang, Henan from November 1 to 3, 2024. This annual meeting will focus on the Zhongyuan Electric Forum, aiming to explore the innovation and development path in the field of electricity and energy, help new power systems, enable the development of smart electrical industry, enhance the influence of IEEE PES China Satellite Technology Committee in the international power and energy field, and realize the linkage and collaboration in the fields of domestic and foreign electrical and energy production, learning, research and application. This event will adopt a comprehensive “conference + exhibition” model with rich content and high standards. The forum will cover the latest cutting-edge technology exchange activities in the field of power and energy; the exhibition will cover the entire power transmission and distribution industry chain and the development direction of the new energy industry. We sincerely invite all members and electrical equipment manufacturers and supporting enterprises to register and attend.
IEEE PES Live Online: Tutorial IEEE 1427 Standard- Electrical Maintenance and Safety
IEEE PES Live Online: Tutorial IEEE 1427 Standard- Electrical Maintenance and Safety
Presented by: Dr. George Gela, Berkshire Electric Consulting Company, and Chunming Ma, Burns and McDonnell This webinar: Session three of a four-part series, helps the audience better understand the concepts of electrical clearance, the calculation of BIL, BSL, and insulation coordination. Most substations are located in fenced-off areas above ground. In cities substations may be constructed in buildings or underground. Energized conductors and connecting buswork within a substation or switchyard are usually bare (non-insulated) and are installed on insulators that provide insulation from the ground. Insulation from other energized and grounded objects is provided by proper air distances (clearances). Sufficient clearances among ground and various energized air-insulated equipment are required to prevent (minimize the probability of) sparkovers and flashovers which would disrupt the operation and integrity not only of the affected equipment but also of the entire or large parts of the electric power system. IEEE Std 1427-2020 “IEEE Guide for Recommended Electrical Clearances and Insulation Levels in Air Insulated Electrical Power Substations” provides the required information. Presenter bio: Dr. George Gela, LSMIEEE, is an internationally recognized electric utility expert with a doctoral degree in electrical engineering and an extensive background in research, testing, and teaching. Delivered invited presentations on worldwide experience in live work in China and Australia as part of Marcus Evans's training seminars. Mr. Ma is an Electrical Engineer and Technical Expert in the Transmission & Distribution Division of Burns & McDonnell. He has thirty years of experience in substation engineering in the power delivery industry. Mr. Ma has been an IEEE PES member since 2006. He currently serves the roles of the vice chair of the IEEE PES Substation Committee Electrical Substation Design Subcommittee (SCD0), Vice-chair of Working Group D2, and Chair of Working Group D1 (AIE Clearance & Insulation Levels). Mr. Ma is professionally licensed in Alberta, Canada (P.ENG) and Wisconsin, USA (PE).
