Co-sponsored by: Steven Dobos Early Power Still Driving the PA Trolley Museum (PA TROLLEY OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING TOUR)   Location: Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, 1 Museum Road, Washington PA 15301Date: 27-August-2016 (Saturday)Time: 10AM-2:00 PM - Presentation, Trolley Ride, Lunch, Tour , Q & A Sponsors: PES/IAS chaptersRegister:  Please register by COB Friday August 26th, 2016.  Speaker: Bernie Orient - Shop Floor Mechanical Specialist BIO: Bernie Orient Mr. Orient has been with the PA Trolley Museum for 20 years working his way up to Shop Floor Mechanical Specialist. He obtained his BSME for West Virginia University in 1969. Presentation and Tour: Join us for an engineering presentation and tour of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum! The journey will take us back in time to the late half of the 1800’s and up through the present where Bernie Orient (Shop Floor Mechanical Specialist) will provide an overview on how electric power and the original era electric  trolleys came together to help provide the early years of transportation. We will have a two hour morning tour, a one hour afternoon tour, with a noon time picnic  (subs, chips and cool drinks). Abstract: The Pittsburgh Electric Railway Club (PERC) members purchased their first streetcar in 1949, added a second car in 1952 and a third in 1953. With acquisition of a site in Chartiers Township, Washington County and the wonderful cooperation of the Pittsburgh Railways Company the three-car collection motored to the site on February 7, 1954 to establish what has become the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. Construction of a car house building, repair of track and overhead lines followed and by December, 1962, the streetcars were once again operational. On June 23 of the following year the museum received its first official visitors after a ribbon cutting ceremony. Since then, the museum has seen several decades of expansion. The car collection, the existing track, the car house and visitor buildings have all seen major growth. Today, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum owns nearly 50 street and electric railway cars, 20 of which are operational on the museum’s four mile ride. Each year 30,000 visitors are treated to a hands-on, moving history lesson. After all, that’s the main appeal of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum: visitors don’t just “see” the past up close; they “experience” it for themselves on an unforgettable ride through the countryside with the help of PTM’s 150 volunteers (and counting!).  They are committed to keeping that experience alive for generations to come.

Paoletti, P.E. Presentation: New Power Reliability Trends and the Application of Microgrids and Battery Storage Solutions Abstract: In addition to natural disasters, there are several other power distribution related trends that are affecting the ability of maintaining emergency power during and after an unplanned outage, especially a prolonged outage.  This discussion will review the market trends and their impact on maintaining power resiliency. An overview of the history of the grid will be provided, and the current trends driving the need for Microgrids and battery storage applications.  Topics will include:   Grid Power Distribution History Megatrends, MicroGrids & Customer Segment Drivers MicroGrid Functions & Capabilities Bidirectional Inverter / PGE & Military MicroGrid Portland General Electric MicroGrid Video Eaton MicroGrid Video  Controls & Cybersecurity: SMP Gateway (Eaton EAS Products)   Battery Technology Considerations & Monitoring Distributed Generation Options MicroGrid Feasibility Study & Implementation Government / State Initiatives   Speaker(s): Gabriel J. Paoletti, P.E., Location: Bldg: EATON 1000 Cherrington Parkway Moon Township, Pennsylvania 15108
