JFOUND: Ello, George [MC1978] teaches Friday, 7 May 2010

2010 IEEE Long Island Systems, Applications and Technology Conference – LISAT2010* Friday, 7 May 2010 – Farmingdale State College

Electric Distribution Systems Part I*

Basic Power Engineering Concepts and Transmission/Distribution Topology

(Seminar Length: 2 Hours with Q & A: 0.2 CEUs; 2 PDHs)

Who should attend: Those interested in the design of utility distribution systems.

Speaker: Mr. George Ello, Division Manager, System Operations, National Grid Electric Services, LLC

Abstract: Electricity in a house moves along wires originating in a circuit breaker panel. A utility distribution system operates in a very similar manner. Electricity is distributed on circuits or feeders emanating from a substation. This seminar will discuss basic concepts such as power, transmission, distribution and substations. It will then move on to the concepts of distribution system design including grounding, step and touch potentials and types of distribution systems. It will conclude with a discussion of voltages including control at the substation (R and X calculations) and on the system (voltage regulators and capacitors).

Speaker’s Biography: Mr. Ello is Division Manager in the System Operations Department of National Grid Electric Services, LLC. He is responsible for the operation of the electric distribution system in real time in all normal and emergency situations. Mr. Ello has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Manhattan College and a Master of Science in Environmental Technology from New York Institute of Technology. Mr. Ello is a New York State Certified Fire Investigator, Level II, the highest certification attainable. He is an instructor in Electrical Cause and Origin, basic and advanced, at the New York State Academy of Fire Science. He has served as a consultant to and instructor in the Academy of Fire Science for the creation and development of the curriculum for an advanced electric fire cause and origin class. Mr. Ello is also an instructor in Electrical Systems, Electric Hazards and Tactics for Firefighters, Gas Systems and Hazard Tactics, Arson Awareness, and Fire Police Tactics at the Suffolk County Fire Academy.

In addition, he has presented courses for Fire Investigators, Insurance Special Investigations Units (“SIU”), Fire Chiefs and firefighters, Arson Squads and Fire Marshals on the topic of Electric Incident Cause and Origin, a curriculum which is certified by both New York State and Connecticut state governments for investigator continuing education units. He has also instructed in Electric Distribution Engineering, authored texts in both electric fire cause and origin and distribution engineering, and published electric distribution engineering articles in Fire Findings magazine, and has lectured on electrical safety practices to the Long Island Contractors Association

Coordinator for the classes: Theodore G. Pappas, P.E.
