Webinar: Lightning Protection for Substations using the Rolling Sphere Method and Failure Rates *Registration Open to Participating Utilities Only September 29, 2011The Rolling Sphere Method is a direct application of the Electrogeometric Model (EGM) for lightning protection. It provides a practical method for engineers and architects to design lightning protection systems to shield their high priority assets from direct strikes. This presentation will go over the need for this method and will teach engineers how to apply the method to substations per IEEE Std. 998 and NFPA 780. While the presentation focuses on protecting substations, the concepts can be universally applied to any asset since lightning does not discriminate. |

Workshop: Improving the Operational Reliability of Flow Control Equipment for Dams and Hydropower Stations. *Registration Open to All March 15-16, 2011Case Studies: Learning from International Experience- Best Practices, Incidents and Failures: Improving the Operational Reliability of Flow Control Equipment for Dams and Hydropower Stations. Building on the success of the March 2009 “Case Studies Workshop: Learning from International Dam Incidents and Failures” held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, CEATI International is undertaking a second event focusing on engineering and maintenance strategies to prevent the uncontrolled discharge of water flows. The scope will be expanded to include best practices along with incidents and failures. |
