COMET 2016 IndiaThe Indian Subcontinent’s first Condition-Based

Monitoring conference platform

OUR FACULTY

COMET is an annual technical conference designed to share the evolving technology trends and industry's best practices around on-line monitoring of electric power assets. The COMET brand is owned by The University of Texas at Austin which is rated among the top ten engineering schools in North America.

The reliability of electric power from generation to delivery is ranked as the number one concern for any global electric power company. For the past century, countries globally measured their progress in terms of power generation and its usage for various comforts to their citizens. It is only in the last few years, there is a growing understanding between reliability of such networks and the Condition Monitoring of the assets empowering such networks.

The University of Texas and Qualitrol LLC recognized a need for an independent platform for research institutes, power companies and their vendors globally to share their experiences, experiments and learnings from Condition Monitoring of these assets and their impact on reliability improvements. Thus, the idea of COMET (Conference on Online Monitoring of Electric Assets) was conceived in 2013. The first conference was held in December 2014 in Austin, Texas, USA.

While Indian power system in their growing stage may be smaller in comparison to larger power systems in other parts of world, success stories and early experiment of Asset Optimization at Power Grid Corporation of India and various other electric companies are often setting trends and new standards for the global industry.

With this recognition of India’s triumph, we are excited to start a COMET India chapter as new annual event to be hosted in India, demonstrating and empowering a platform to learn from technological experiments in Indian power system. COMET India will attract leading policy and standard makers from various power companies in the Indian Subcontinent (India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar), Thailand, Singapore and the Middle East.

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Tentative programme:• Learnings from Interesting Assets Failures• Transformer Condition Based Monitoring• Gas Insulated Substation Condition Based Monitoring• Underground Networks and Cables Condition Based Monitoring• HV Breaker Condition Based Monitoring• Asset Health Index and their Reliability• Technology Trends and Research in Condition Based Monitoring• User Group Meeting - A closed door session for power companies (no

vendors allowed) to discuss challenges, share experiences, create list of things needed from the vendor community and research institutes

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

• Planners• Independent Power Producers• Operators• Consultants• Electrical Contractors• Researchers / Academics• Manufacturers• Power Utilities / Corporations• State Govt. / SEBs etc• OEMs and Asset monitoring vendors

PARTICIPANT PROFILE

CALL FOR TECHNICAL PAPERSAbstracts are solicited on enhancing the reliability and performance of assets targeted under two main tracks:

• Gas Insulated Substations:GIS switchgear, SF Breakers and Gas Insulated Transformers6

• Power Transformers and General Asset Monitoring:a) Comprehensive monitoring for transformers, learned asset

behaviour and improved asset reliability. Advanced and upcoming technologies to improve transformer failure.

b) Circuit Breakers, Underground Cables, Aerial Conductors, Capacitor Banks, Distribution Networks and Switchgears. Advanced and upcoming technologies to improve failure prevention of these assets.

Jeff Fleeman - Director of Advanced Transmission Studies and Technologies, American Electric PowerAEP serves over five million customers, operating in 11 states and three regional transmission organizations. AEP's assets include 39,000 miles of transmission lines and 3,500 T&D substations. Jeff is responsible for system dynamic analysis, asset performance and renewal programs, transmission technology strategy and deployment, and HVDC/FACTs systems. He has BSEE and MSEE degrees from The Ohio State University. Jeff chairs the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Transmission & Substation Advisory Council and is the co-chair of the Power System Electric Research Center's (PSERC) Transmission & Distribution Stem. He chaired the Edison Electric Institute's (EEI) Transmission Committee from 2005-2007 and continues to serve on their executive council. Jeff is a senior member of IEEE and its Power and Energy Society (PES), where he is the Ohio PES Chapters Chair and also Chairs the PES Region 2 Scholarship Plus Committee. Jeff is a member of CIGRE and is a registered PE in Ohio. Plenary Speaker

Dr. Robert Hebner - Director, Center for Electromechanics, The University of Texas at AustinDr. Hebner is the Director of the Center for Electromechanics and Associate Director for Technology of the Center for Energy Security, both at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout his career, Dr. Hebner has served on numerous technical committees that develop voluntary standards for the electric utility industry. His personal research focuses on smart grid technologies, microgrids, renewable energy, and energy storage. He has been an active contributor to the Pecan Street Program that is helping to gather the information needed to design a Smart Grid architecture that is attractive to both consumers and industry. Dr. Hebner has had extensive experience in technical collaborations being former chair of the Board of the Center for Transportation and the Environment and chair-elect of the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium. He is also a past member of the Board of Directors of the IEEE. He has served as the vice president of the IEEE with responsibility for all of the IEEE's technical activities. The combination of the Pecan Street and IEEE activities has provided opportunities for unique insight into Smart Grid and Smart City activities in the US, Europe, and Asia.He has applied this knowledge to military energy activities. He was a founding member of the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium. He has made significant contributions to the design and operations of ship power systems, which are isolated microgrids. This research has lead to modeling techniques for ship power systems, power systems for forward bases, and for military bases in the US. In addition, he has been a member of an Air Force study team that assessed the energy security of Air Force bases.Before joining the University of Texas, he spent many years at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), culminating his time there as acting Director. He also worked in the Office of Management and Budget and at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.Throughout his career, Dr. Hebner has been active technically having received a Ph.D. in physics and having authored or coauthored more than one hundred technical papers and reports. He is a fellow of the IEEE.
