IEEE VTS Philadelphia Chapter

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapter is holding a technical meeting. The topic is Continuous Monitoring of Substation Assets Using Thermal Imaging. Our speakers are Dr. Tim Dubbs, Director Applications Engineering, and Mr. Lenny Shaver, Director Strategic Marketing, Advanced Energy Industries. Continuous thermal monitoring of critical substation assets is essential to identify potential failure points and protect aging components. Remote monitoring with thermal imaging systems gives you highly accurate data for condition-based maintenance. Fiber optic sensors are proven to be an effective hot spot monitor and controller for power transformers. Bond meters and megohmmeters provide precise measurements and superior reliability in rugged outdoor environments. Custom software allows data and image monitoring and archiving across multiple substations. The presentation will provide examples of turn-key solutions that integrate with existing substation deployment supervisory controls (DSC) for transformer winding temperatures and complete substation area monitoring. There is no charge for meeting attendance, only for PDH certificates. Attendees may apply for 1.0 PDH provided through the IEEE Certificates Program, accepted in all states. Member cost is $6.00 and non-member cost is $9.00 (USD) via vTools (credit card payments are processed through PayPal). Complete online evaluation after lecture at https://r2.ieee.org/philadelphia-vts/forms/ Payment must be received and evaluation form must be completed within three days to receive PDH certificate.

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapter is invited to join the Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers for a professional presentation on An Overview of the Philadelphia Zoning Process for Engineers by Meredith L. Ferleger, Esq., Dilworth Paxson, LLP. Securing entitlements for a project in Philadelphia requires interaction with a variety of stakeholders throughout the process, including pre-requisite review agencies, permitting departments, City Council members, and local communities. Project Engineers are frequently called on to provide critical support to the project team, which may include the developer, architects, attorneys and other consultants with the common goal to see the project to fruition. If a variance is required, the Engineering team is relied upon to provide crucial information on the project’s impacts concerning noise, traffic, environmental issues, and other “non-zoning” related aspects of the project that are important to address while working with numerous stakeholders throughout the process. Join Meredith L. Ferleger, Esq. of Dilworth Paxson LLP on September 4th for a discussion surrounding the Philadelphia zoning process and learn of how the engineering team may assist to shepherd the project from the first filing to the issuance of a Zoning Permit. There is no charge for meeting attendance, only for PDH certificates. The PDH certificate is provided through the Philadelphia Chapter of PSPE, not the IEEE. PSPE believes the “course” will be accepted for credit in PA, NJ, and other National Model states where courses do not required pre-approval. This course has not been certified for credit in the State of NY. No payment to the IEEE or evaluation form on the VTS website is required.
