Gas Insulated Substations Conference 2017

Faced with increasing demands for reliability, improved aesthetics and security, the adoption of gas insulated substations (GIS) by North American utilities is rapidly increasing. Companies also elect to use GIS because of the increased load and limited space present in the urban areas. Often, building new substations or increasing capacity is difficult because land is either not available or is prohibitively expensive. This course will provide an in-depth introduction to gas insulated substations. It will address regulatory, technical and business considerations for GIS. It will review GIS technology and detail current design trends and maintenance solutions for gas insulated substations. Attendees will learn about AIS vs. GIS considerations. Expert speakers will discuss SF6 regulatory and practical considerations. Attendees will leave with a sound understanding of GIS capability as well as real-world examples involved in selecting and constructing GIS substations.
