Workshop: Utility-scale transformers are custom-built for specific transmission and distribution system requirements. There are many different design approaches, materials and manufacturing processes that can be used to produce utility-scale transformers. These differences can result in varying levels of system performance, power transfer efficiency, fault tolerance, equipment life, cost, and the like. This one-day workshop will provide instruction on the many options available for the design and manufacture of utility-scale transformers, including how to write transformers specification to purchase a reliable, economical, and least life cycle cost transformer. It will provide insight into specifying the design and manufacture of transformers that are most appropriate for specific system requirements. A sampling of subject matter to be covered in this workshop is provided at the registration website. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive a certificate for six PDHs.

Instructor: Mr. Ronnie Minhaz is the president and founder of Transformer Consulting Services, Inc. He has more than ten years of experience in the specification and design of utility- scale transformers. Prior to forming his own company, he worked as a Transformer Design Engineer at Pauwels Canada (manufacturer), an Equipment Engineer at SNC Lava Lin (ECPM), an Equipment Engineer at Enmax Power (utility), and a Lead Substation Engineer at McGregor Construction (substation construction). Mr. Minhaz holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Manitoba, Canada, and is a registered professional engineer in the province of Alberta, Canada. He is an active member of IEEE and IEEE Power & Energy Society. He has held various IEEE section-level leadership positions. www.tc-servicesinc.com
