Distributed Generation

Protection of distribution circuits with traditional types of distributed generation (synchronous or induction generators) is well understood.  The introduction of newer generation sources such as fuel cells, PV systems, wind power, and battery storage which utilize power electronic devices to connect to the ac power system present new challenges to the protection and operation of distribution systems.  This presentation will feature some of these issues and how they are currently being addressed. 

Scott Secrest, P.E. is Vice President of Technical Business Development for 3C Electrical Co. in Ashland, MA and has over 30 years of experience in the design, installation, and commissioning of low, medium, and high voltage electric power distribution and generation plants.  He has served in engineering design and management positions for Greenman-Pederson, Inc., Sage Engineering Services Company, R.W. Beck, and McGraw-Edison. 

Mr. Secrest holds Bachelor of Science and Masters of Engineering degrees in Electric Power Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is an active member of the IEEE PES and IAS, and is a licensed professional engineer in seven states.
