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.
