TUTORIAL COURSES
1. Transmission line protection. Instructor: Héctor J. Altuve (SEL Inc.)
Topics: Relaying fundamentals. Relay input sources. Transmission line protection, principles and problems. Directional relay element design. Distance relay element design. Directional comparison pilot protection. Transmission line current-only protection.
Instructor: Dr. Héctor J. Altuve received his BSEE degree in 1969 from the Central University of Las Villas, Santa Clara, Cuba, and his Ph.D. in 1981 from Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Kiev, Ukraine. From 1969 until 1993, Dr. Altuve served on the faculty of the Electrical Engineering School, at the Central University of Las Villas. He served as professor, Graduate Doctoral Program, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering School, at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Monterrey, Mexico, from 1993 to 2000. In 1999-2000, he was the Schweitzer Visiting Professor at Washington State University’s Department of Electrical Engineering. In January 2001, Dr. Altuve joined Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., where he is currently a Distinguished Engineer and Director of Technology for Latin America. He has authored and coauthored more than 100 technical papers and holds three patents. His main research interests are in power system protection, control and monitoring. Dr. Altuve is an IEEE Senior Member, and a PES Distinguished Lecturer.

Topics: General Concepts. Fault Calculation Review. Generator Protection Fundamentals. Generator. Protection Setting Criteria. Stability Concepts and Out of Step Protection. Genereator Protection Setting Example. IEEE Recommended Settings for Generator Protection (IEEE C37.102). Application of COMTRADE files.
Instructor: Dr. Juan M. Gers has a BSc in Electrical Engineering from Colombia, an MSc in Power Systems from England and a Ph.D. that included Distribution Systems Automation research from Scotland. Dr. Gers worked for the government utility EPSA (formerly CVC) as substation design engineer. In 1981, he founded the consulting company GERS S.A. in Colombia and, in 2002, opened an affiliate in Florida called GERS USA. Both specialize in studies, designs and commissioning of electric projects. Dr. Gers is co-author of a book entitled "Protection of Electricity Distribution Networks," published by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) of the UK and is the author/co-author of over 30 technical papers. Dr. Gers is a Chartered Engineer of the IEE.
