TRANSFORMERS COMMITTEE

SPRING 2020 MEETING

THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS, INC.

www.transformerscommittee.org

February 7, 2020 Dear Committee Members and Guests: You and your spouse/companion are cordially invited to Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, to attend the Spring 2020 meeting of the IEEE PES Transformers Committee, March 22–26. We look forward to welcoming you to our city that was named the #1 Most Up-and-Coming City in America based on a study done by Yelp and reported by Time magazine! Charlotte’s colorful history, natural beauty and metropolitan splendor make the “Queen City” not just one of a kind, but one of every kind! With its skyscrapers, foodie options, lush parks and greenways, cozy diners, world-class museums, moving artistic performances, lively breweries and quirky boutiques, Charlotte holds something for everyone. HOTEL INFORMATION: Our meeting will be held in uptown Charlotte at the Sheraton/Le Méridien hotel complex, 550 South McDowell Street. Offering three on-site restaurants, fitness center, comfortable rooms and suites, the Sheraton and Le Méridien are in the area of town known as the heartbeat of the city. Within walking distance of Epicentre, Charlotte’s most vibrant entertainment destination, you will also find a plethora of delicious eateries and contemporary museums as well as being just steps away from the 7th Street Public Market with its lively mix of food, drink and retail offering a variety of local and global fare as well as hand-crafted goods. If outdoor exercise is your thing, check out Little Sugar Creek Greenway, Elizabeth Park and Marshall Park, all just minutes away from the hotel complex.

Our discounted guestroom rates start at US$179 per night at the Sheraton and US$199 per night at the Le Méridien. All rates include complimentary wireless internet in guestrooms and hotel public space as well as complimentary fitness center access for all overnight guests. Visit the Committee's website for a link to reserve a room, or if you call one of the hotels, mention "IEEE Transformers" to receive the respective group rate. Cut-off date for the group rate is Friday, February 28, but we expect the hotel to sell out sooner. GETTING THERE: The Sheraton/Le Méridien hotel complex is located approximately 8 miles/13 km east of Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Taxi fare is a flat fee of US$25 one way from the airport to uptown, and taxis are required to accept credit card payments. UBER and Lyft (US$15–US$18) are also approved for ridesharing at CLT. Discounted self-parking in the hotel’s garage is US$15/car per night. Valet parking is also available at a rate of US$27.06/car per night. MEETING REGISTRATION: Register on-line at www.transformerscommittee.org/meetings/2020-spring-charlotte for social events, tours and the meeting. Register by Friday, February 28, to receive a US$50 early registration discount. The on-line registration system will be disabled on Wednesday, March 18 to print name badges and finalize counts. The cost to register on-site is substantially higher than the advance registration price, and some events may not be available for on-site registration. WEATHER: March temperatures in Charlotte are typically comfortable during the day and cooler at night with only a small chance of precipitation (average high of 68°F/20°C and low of 46°F/8°C). Dress for the meeting is business casual.

SUNDAY EVENING WELCOME RECEPTION: The reception will be held inside the Sheraton/Le Méridien hotel complex in the beautiful Carolina Ballroom. Featuring live music, plenty of tasty food and cash bars, come kickoff the week catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Please indicate whether you will attend this reception during the meeting registration process. SPOUSE/COMPANION TOURS: Monday’s Biltmore Estate & Downton Abbey tour gets an early start with a scenic drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains on the way to Asheville, North Carolina and the historic Biltmore House. Lunch on the Biltmore Estate at the award-winning Deerpark Restaurant precedes an afternoon of visiting portions of the iconic Downton Abbey exhibit before heading back to the hotel. Tuesday has our group staying closer to “home” to explore the Billy Graham Library as well as nurture their creative side at a Candle-Making workshop. The day begins with a guided tour of the Billy Graham Library, followed by lunch at Sea Level, named one of the “Six Best Seafood Restaurants in Charlotte” by Charlotte Magazine in September 2019. The afternoon includes spending time exploring Atherton Mill and Market as well as crafting signature scented Paddywax candles, one of the most versatile and functional candle brands on the market. See flyers for details and register early as attendance is limited. TECHNICAL TOURS: Tours of Siemens Worldwide Energy Hub and the Duke Energy Emerging Technology Center are planned for Monday evening and Thursday afternoon, respectively. Register on-line for both tours. Attendance is limited – see flyers for details. WEDNESDAY DINNER SOCIAL: NASCAR Hall of Fame is an interactive entertainment venue honoring the history and heritage of NASCAR and designed to educate and entertain race fans and non-fans alike. Guests will have time to explore the entire facility, including artifacts and hands-on exhibits while enjoying a movie in the High Octane Theater, “racing” other guests in the race simulator and performing a simulated pit stop as part of a 3-person pit crew. Partake in hors d’oeuvres and cash bars before gathering in the Grand Hall for dinner surrounded by the cars on Glory Road. After dinner, continue the experience until 9:30 PM or head out to explore uptown Charlotte. Attendance is limited – see flyer for dinner menu and details. ADDITIONAL MEETING INFORMATION: Along with this invitation letter, additional meeting information can be downloaded from the Committee’s website: • Registration Fees Summary – Guide to review all fees before logging into the registration system

• Meeting Schedule and General Sessions Agenda – If any noteworthy changes are made, an updated schedule will be posted on the Committee’s website a few days prior to the meeting

DINNER SOCIAL

Wednesday, March 25, 2020 NASCAR Hall of Fame

This evening’s event will be held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, an interactive entertainment venue honoring the history and heritage of NASCAR. Designed to educate and entertain race fans and non-fans alike, this high-tech facility includes artifacts, hands-on exhibits, a 64-foot projection screen with surround sound and Hall of Honor. In addition to enjoying a movie in the High Octane Theater and viewing all the displays, participate in three interactive exhibits facilitated by Hall of Fame staff. The first―and by far the most popular!―is the Race Simulator. A group of up to 14 guests at a time can experience a 3-minute simulated race experience in a race car that remains stationary. The iRacing software keeps track of each individual’s performance, and the person with the fastest elapsed lap wins. Before competing in the Race Simulator, practice in the Qualifying area and get a chance to experience the simulated race track and steering wheel before you race against other attendees! Lastly, the Pit Crew Challenge is a group activity where a 3-person “pit crew” performs a simulated pit stop like you’d see in a NASCAR race. Each team races against the clock to see who can get the fastest pit time. www.nascarhall.com

Itinerary (times are approximate) 6:15 pm: Walk to NASCAR Hall of Fame (~10 minutes/4 blocks) or shuttle runs continuously from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm 6:30 pm: Doors to Hall of Fame open, including Gift Shop; enjoy

IEEE PES Transformers Committee Spring 2020 Meeting

Charlotte, North Carolina USA

Tutorial on IEEE C57.104-2019 “Guide for the Interpretation of Gases

Generated in Mineral Oil-Immersed Transformers”

— Technical Presentation — Thursday, March 26, 2020

By Claude Beauchemin, Luiz Cheim, Norman Field and Tom Prevost

1. Abstract

IEEE C57.104 "Guide for the Interpretation of Gases Generated in Mineral Oil-Immersed Transformers," originally introduced in 1978, is widely used worldwide. The original guide was updated in 1991 but had remained virtually unchanged since. Recently, the industry recognized that an extensive revision was needed, especially in regards to the various numerical values used to evaluate transformer condition. That revision, based on the analysis of a large DGA database, was completed in 2019 and resulted in a major reorganization of the guide.

The guide now has six sections: Overview; Reference; Definition; The Nature, Purpose, and Application of Dissolved Gas Analysis; DGA Data Interpretation and Suggested Interpretation Procedures. Section 4 describes the nature of dissolved gas analysis, the purpose and application of DGA, DGA use context and precautions for sampling. Section 5 addresses DGA data interpretation, data quality review, reliability of DGA, context of DGA application and selection of norm values. Section 6 suggests interpretation procedures for DGA results, including flow charts and four norms tables, to generate a DGA status (1, 2 or 3) with fault identification using Rogers ratios and the Duval triangle methods.

In addition, the guide has eight annexes. Annex A presents the DGA database’s main characteristics and introduces the data analysis method used to generate the norms tables. Annex B describes how to compute rates and gives examples of section 6 procedure. Annex C describes typical faults, and Annex D offers supplemental fault interpretation methods.

IEEE PES Transformers Committee Spring 2020 Meeting

Charlotte, North Carolina USA

Sound Level Specifications of Power Transformers for Compliance, Cost Effectiveness and Clarity

— Technical Presentation —

Thursday, March 26, 2020

By Ramsis Girgis and Chris Howell 1. Abstract

In most cases, noise levels included in power transformer specifications have a significant impact on the design and, consequently, the cost of the transformer. At the same time, transformer manufacturers have seen some specifications require unnecessarily low noise levels and some allow higher noise levels than they should, which often results in noise complaints when these transformers are installed in the field.

This tutorial has two parts. In the first part, Mr. Chris Howell will provide information on methodologies used by substation design engineers to determine appropriate noise levels of transformers in a substation to satisfy requirements of local and state noise ordinances. In the second part, Dr. Ramsis Girgis will provide an overview of transformer noise and how specified noise levels impact the design and cost of a transformer. He will also identify opportunities for improving deficiencies in existing transformer specifications related to transformer noise.

2. Learning Objectives This tutorial provides the following learning opportunities:

- Introduce the different components of transformer noise and their frequency characteristics that impact transformer sound propagation

- Show the impact of a specified noise level on the design and cost of the transformer - Explain how transformer sound propagates and factors affecting this propagation - Describe methodologies used by substation design personnel to calculate the impact of power

transformer noise on the noise level at the boundary of the substation and residential areas - Present examples of noise requirements of local and state noise ordinances - Present examples of existing noise specifications and identify opportunities for improving deficiencies

in these specifications
