CANCELLED – IEEE PES “Lunch and Learn” DC POWER APPLICATIONS: BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND GROUND FAULTS

Hello,

I am sorry to announce that due to the Coronavirus the presentation is cancelled. The speaker’s company has halted all travel for the time being.

We will try to reschedule this in June or July.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

IEEE PES presents “Lunch and Learn”

Location: 7155 S. Lindell Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89118 (Room 1B)
Date: 04/02/2020
Time: 11:30am – 4:00pm lunch and presentation. (Lunch will be provided at no cost)
Topic: DC POWER APPLICATIONS: BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND GROUND FAULTS
Speakers: Art Salander and Eric Cogorno

Overview:
Battery History – a brief enjoyable look at the development of storage batteries dating back to the 1700s right up to the 21st century.
Battery Charger Basics– This is the starting point for stationary battery chargers. Learn the foundation of what is required when creating a specification for charger applications. You will learn the process of how the AC is converted to DC, what are float and equalize voltages and some of the diagnostic and monitoring capabilities of microprocessor chargers.
Battery Charger Sizing – how we have been doing it and how we think it should be done in the future.
Ground Fault Detection in the Real World- This course will discuss the different type of ground fault circuits used in utility applications. You will learn how they function and the benefits and disadvantages of each. Also, you will get some basic understanding and tips of troubleshooting ground faults in your system.

Art Salander – Art has spent 40+ years in the stationary battery/dc power industry. Among his accomplishments, he has spoken for many industry groups and published numerous articles and papers on industry relevant topics. Further, he generally is requested to provide presentations on topics ranging from Battery History, sizing batteries and battery chargers, specifying assistance and much more. Art’s other accomplishments include being the chairmen of the IEEE Stationary Battery Committee’s WP2405 to work with and update the NEMA PE5 standard for utility battery chargers. Currently, Art Salander provides application engineering and business development for HindlePower, Inc., the leader in utility battery chargers and related dc He holds a physics/engineering degree from Adelphi University with post-graduate studies at NYIT, and he is an IEEE life senior member.
Eric Cogorno – Eric is a member of the sales and marketing team at HindlePower, the leader in utility battery chargers and dc equipment. Prior to joining HindlePower, he graduated from Lincoln Technical Institute and more recently Albright College. Over his 13 years with the company, he has developed vast knowledge and experience in the manufacturing, testing, and design of stationary battery chargers. Further, he has developed application experience in the battery/dc power industry as a whole and is well versed in sizing chargers and specifications. Eric has also attended and participated in the IEEE Stationary Battery Committees WP2405 that is working to update the NEMA PE5 standard for utility battery chargers.
