Dear Industr y Par tners ,
Hands- On Relay School is a t ruly unique educat ional exp er ience, o f fer ing s tudent s the opp or tunit y to net work with and learn f rom leading exp er t s in the f ie ld of s ys tem protec t ion . Relay manuf ac turers , tes t equipment manuf ac turers , e lec tr ic ut i l i t ies and other organiz at ions a l l come together for a week of re lay tes t ing, re lay ins t ruc t ion, and t ra ining on p ower s ys tem protec t ion theor y and appl icat ion . A s one s tudent put i t , “ T he greates t concentrat ion of exp er t ise and k nowledge avai lab le in one p lace at one t ime.”
In 198 4 a group of western ut i l i t ies recognized the need for qual i t y re lay technic ian t ra ining . In resp onse to this demand, local e lec tr ic ut i l i t ies , re lay and tes t equipment manuf ac turers , Washington State Univers i t y and Western Energy Ins t i tute (then cal led NELPA) co l lab orated to form the f i r s t Hands- On Relay School . A l though the industr y has changed over the years , the formula for ins t ruc t ion employed in the b eginning is s t i l l success ful today – manuf ac turers and exp er ienced technic ians teach the theor y of op erat ion and appl icat ion of re lays; and exp er ienced re lay technic ians lead s tudent s in put t ing that k nowledge into ac t ion dur ing hands- on t ra ining .
L ab f aci l i tators , the exp er ienced re lay technic ians who share their k nowledge and exp er t ise, are the core of the school . T hey br ing tes t equipment and teach s tudent s how to op erate i t , and their guidance t ruly makes for the hands- on exp er ience at the school . In 2015 there were 63 lab f aci l i tators (see page 17 for a comprehensive l is t ) who lent their ta lent s to Hands- on Relay School .
A s you can see f rom the char t on page 5, the school has exp er ienced a great deal o f grow th over the pas t e ight years . In f ac t , enro l lment has more than doubled s ince 1999. T he cont inued grow th fur ther conf i rms the need for this t yp e of t ra ining, and we are p leased to b e able to of fer this exp er ience to an expanded enro l lment . However, the school wi l l not sacr i f ice qual i t y for grow th, and our over- r id ing goal cont inues to b e the high qual i t y of ins t ruc t ion and opp or tunit y for hands- on tes t ing .
Qual i t y ins t ruc t ion in a lab env ironment , qual i t y hands- on exp er ience with tes t equipment and re lays , qual i t y c lassroom lec tures , and the b est break food found at any school or conference – a l l at a reasonable pr ice. T his is the Hands- on Relay School .

How has HRS been able to not only sustain for thirty-one years, but also continue to grow? What makes this school great?
• Our unique, hands-on approach to training: The school includes at minimum 66 percent hands-on laboratory training.
• Small groups: we guarantee testing in a setting of only three students per lab group to ensure the most effective learning.
• Track selection: organizing the school by tracks allows students to select an area of interest and emphasis for the week.
Relay Testing by Track
MANUAL RELAY TESTING
Tracks: Basic, Distribution, Transmission, Generation, Electromechanical
Students perform test techniques on a variety of relays and test equipment in a laboratory setting under the direction and guidance of experienced technicians (laboratory facilitators) and manufacturer experts. Students in manual testing tracks attend laboratory classroom lectures where they learn the specifics of protective relay application, theory and operating characteristics. Students exchange ideas, resolve problems in open forums, and learn preventative and corrective methods. After the lab lectures, they have the opportunity to apply the training through “hands-on” testing of relays in the lab.
AUTOMATED RELAY TESTING
Tracks: Doble, Enoserv, Manta, Omicron, Megger
Experienced relay technicians and student learn how to operate automated relay testing software and related equipment. They perform test techniques on a variety of relays and test equipment in a laboratory setting under the direction and guidance of experienced technicians (laboratory facilitators) and manufacturer experts. The Doble and Enoserv tracks are divided into two sections—beginning and advanced—to allow for specific training on the software depending on experience level.
Theory TrackThis track offers a week of classroom training on a variety of advanced system protection topics relating to generation, transmission, distribution protection and communications. Topics are presented by experts in the utility industry. Although the theory track offers less hands-on learning, its focus is to instead provide practical, applicable training for the engineer or advanced technician. Students in this track should already be familiar and comfortable with relay testing.
Concurrent Open Lectures A unique feature of the HRS is the concurrent open lectures on general power-system theory related to protective relaying offered Monday and Tuesday mornings. Twelve lecture choices are offered, and students have the opportunity to attend any six lectures of their choosing. Lectures are presented by system protection experts from utilities and equipment manufacturers. At least five new lecture topics are presented each year.
Introduction to System Protection Lecture SeriesMany utilities are increasing their workforce or replacing an aging workforce to keep up with maintenance and the pressure of increased regulatory compliance. As these new technicians are joining the field of system protection, they are in need of training in the very basics. This lecture series was introduced in 2010 to train beginners and provide a foundation of knowledge on which to build. Students who attended this seven-hour lecture series receive instruction on protection terminology and philosophy, instrument transformers, print reading, test equipment and troubleshooting.
Feature PresentationsAdditional feature presentations on current hot-topics within the utility industry are offered on Fridays.
Student Track AllocationStudents gain registration priority based on the level of involvement and support for the school by their sponsoring organizations. Track allocation and student placement is administered by the HRS steering committee based on:
• Preference points gained for organizations who support the school by supplying lecturers, facilitators, committee members and/or equipment
• Wait list status from prior year
• WEI member status
• First-come-first-serve registration
Evaluations + FeedbackThe school gauges its success based on student and facilitator evaluation forms. The HRS steering committee carefully analyzes the evaluation and incorporates suggestions and input into subsequent school planning, and in conjunction with comments passed on verbally to committee members throughout the week of the school.

Emphasis in this year’s track was distribution protection and applications. Topics included: wind energy, distribution fault analysis, arc flash protection, and distributed generation operations and protection. This track is for students who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding in the theory of operation of the electric power system and its associated equipment and the protection of power-system components. The class size is limited to allow an engaging learning atmosphere that promotes student interaction and discussion as well as hands-on experience where possible.

STEERING COMMITEE VOLUNTEERS: OUR EXPERT LEADERS
Supporting + Contributing OrganizationsThank You to Our Leadership, Supporting Organizations and Company Sponsors! Many thanks from all of us on the Hands-On Relay steering committee to our supporting organizations and company sponsors. We sincerely would not be able to offer our one-of-a-kind training without your guidance, experience, volunteerism, resources and enthusiasm.
The continued support from utilities, manufacturers, WEI, WSU and other organizations ensures the school is able to successfully operate on a zero-based budget.
Manufacturers furnished specific relays and test equipment, and they also provided training materials and laboratory instructors who taught students the application and theory of specific relay types.
Similarly, many utilities and organizations provided trained relay technicians as laboratory facilitators and instructors, and furnished a broad range of protective relays and test equipment.
Both utilities and manufacturers contributed classroom lecturers who taught students about system protection theory and related topics.
A t remendous amount o f work is re qui re d to p lan , co ordinate and op erate the scho ol . In addi t ion to a combine d tota l o f over 70 0
vounte er hours dur ing the we ek o f the scho ol , Hands- On Relay s te er ing commit te e memb es contr ibute many more hours in p lanning and
