Electrical Power Systems Reliability Analysis
Speaker: Gabriel Paoletti, P.E.
Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of an approach, based on the IEEE Gold Book Standard for determining the Reliability of Electrical Power Distribution Systems for Industrial, Commercial, Government, Healthcare and Institutions.
Topics to be included are:
1) Electrical Single-Line Diagrams Overview
2) Reliability Model
3) Reliability Series Device Calculations
4) Reliability Parallel Device Calculations
5) Overall System Reliability Calculations
6) Comparison of Various Design Models
This presentation can serve as a refresher and or an introduction to reliability of power distribution systems.
NOTE: PDH certificates are available and an evaluation form will be emailed to you after the meeting. PDH certificates are sent by IEEE USA 3-4 weeks after the meeting.

IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Philadelphia Chapter Meeting Date: January 28, 2025 AC Traction Power Protective Relaying Topics: AC traction power substations along the Northeast Corridor and Philadelphia area were originally designed using single-function electromechanical and solid-state protective relays. Railway agencies have recently been using multifunction digital relays when upgrading substations with new protection systems or when replacing existing relays at frequency converter stations. The existing single-function protective relays can be adjusted using a screw driver and a 4-page manual. The new multifunction relays can be programmed from a laptop while following a 450 to 1200-page manual, depending on the vendor. Mr. Seth Nelson will present the Basler BE1-FLEX multifunction digital relay and how it can be integrated into an existing traction power system, including recommendations on how to replace existing relay schemes. Options to retrofit into the existing cutouts without needing to cut or replace the panel will be discussed. A high-voltage breaker-and-a-half scheme will be used as an example.
