The 2008 event will feature a comprehensive program of technical presentations and an exposition that will include displays by leading manufacturers and suppliers from around the world. The conference provides super sessions focusing on the major topics facing the industry, along with a series of poster and panel sessions, tutorials, solution and information sessions, a collegiate program and technical tours – all of which have been designed to enhance an attendee’s technical knowledge base. You can earn Continuing Education Units as well.

S&C Electric Company is exhibiting a variety of products and services including solutions for; implementing Smart Grid technology, interfacing devices from other manufacturers into the system, high-speed fault clearing system, and integrating wind farm technology into the grid. Of special interest at this year’s show are:

S&C IntelliTEAM II® Automatic Restoration System is now the Universal Solution for Self-Healing, Rapid Automatic Restoration Systems — customers have seen improvements in both their SAIDI levels and SAIFI numbers. It is the only distributed intelligent solution that has been made a system-wide standard. With over a hundred different customers and thousands of switching points world-wide, IntelliTEAM II is proven technology.
S&C Universal Interface Module — other intelligent electronic devices not of S&C manufacture can now be incorporated into the IntelliTEAM II Automatic Restoration System with the use of S&C’s Universal Interface Module. The module enables the host device to communicate with other team members and implement IntelliTEAM II restoration decisions.
S&C TripSaver™ Dropout Recloser — this self-powered, electronically controlled vacuum recloser for overhead lateral circuits is offered in system class voltage ratings of 15.5 and 27 kV, and can be installed in new and existing cutout mountings. This past fall, TripSaver was named a recipient of the Chicago Innovation Award, determined by its ability to provide an unmet need in the marketplace.
S&C IntelliRupter® PulseCloser — a unitized package of fault-interrupting and control components which provides fault isolation and circuit restoration functions on 15.5-kV and 27-kV overhead distribution systems.
S&C Vista® Underground Distribution Switchgear — single-way model uniquely designed to fit through wind tower doors in rating of 15.5-kV through 38-kV.
S&C PureWave DSTATCOM® Distributed Static Compensator — ideal for wind farm applications, provides fast voltage recovery for transmission and distribution systems.
Personnel from S&C’s Power Systems Services will be on hand to discuss electrical system consulting, analytical studies, design engineering, field service, laboratory studies, and seminars & workshops.
