Relion®. Advancing Protection and Control.The perfect fit for every application.

Welcome to Spokane and the Western Protective Relay Conference. ABB is proud to once again be part of this premiere educational event. Please plan to visit us in Ballroom D at the Red Lion Hotel. Here you will have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with ABB subject matter experts, participate in a number of hands-on equipment demonstrations, and see live and in action ABB’s new GridShield recloser and the Relion® family of protective relays. You can also register to win one of a limited number of copies of the protection and control professionals must-read - Protective Relaying Theory and Applications.

ABB Protective Relay School Webinar SeriesFall 2011 - Winter 2012

Built on the foundation of the highly regarded Westinghouse Relay School, the ABB Protective Relay School Webinar Series comes to a computer near you. Benefit from the experience of subject matter experts as they share real world implementation and application scenarios, discover tips to improve the reliability of your protection and control strategies, and learn about the standards and technologies that are advancing the next generation substation.

ers to implement automatic restoration. Coordination of fuses, circuit breakers, reclosers and sectionalizers will also be reviewed.

IEC 61850 and Substation Automation, Nov. 30 - This webinar will review the IEC 61850 rules and definitions that enable interoperability, delivering significant improvements in both function and flexibility.

Cyber Security in Substations, Dec. 7 - This webinar will explore the balancing act required to meet the demands of both reliability and cyber security.

Motor Protection Fundamentals, Dec. 14 - This webinar will present how the different types of motors can be protected from potential hazards such as thermal damage, start-up, faults in the windings, etc. Basic motor electrical theory will also be studied.

Remote Terminal Unit Applications, Jan. 18 - The integration of several communication technologies as well as the implemen-tation of additional functionalities enable RTUs to perform well in many applications. We will review common applications focused on transmission, sub transmission, distribution, smart grid, and feeder automation.

Generator Protection Fundamentals, Oct. 25 - This webinar will address the basics of generator protection principles and the dynamics of synchronous generators. Typical faults and abnor-mal conditions will also be discussed.

Bus Protection Fundamentals, Nov. 4 - Bus protection schemes must recognize current transformer saturation and restrain from operating for external faults while operating quickly for internal faults. This webinar will discuss the various schemes used for bus protection.

Using IEC 61850 to Solve Protective Relaying Challenges, Nov. 9 - This webinar will explore applications where GOOSE messages can be applied to resolve common protection and control challenges that involve the exchange of information between devices.

Intro to Substation Control Using Relays, Nov. 16 - This webinar will review important substation control system design considerations. Topics include manual breaker and breaker disconnect switch controls with interlocks, current switching applications, and capacitor bank controls.

Feeder Protection Fundamentals, Nov. 18 - This webinar will review the basics of feeder protection such as characteristics of protective devices, system grounding, and principles of feeder coordination including the application of loop control with reclos-
