Join us for the 29th Annual Beckwith Protection & Control Seminar
The four-day Protection & Control Seminar encompasses comprehensive discussions on the protection of power plant assets and the protection, control, and power quality monitoring of electric power distribution systems. This event is a hub for education, collaboration, and networking, delving into the intricate technical facets of protection and control strategies.
The seminar is tailored for engineers, consultants, managers, and technicians from utilities, integrators, packagers, and OEMs, as well as other professionals involved in designing, engineering, maintaining, and testing protective systems, voltage/VAR control systems, and FLISR schemes. It is also ideal for relay technicians and those in charge of testing and commissioning, who are particularly encouraged to participate in our Testing Lab Breakout Sessions.
3 Seminar Tracks
To ensure you benefit from the most relevant and valuable educational programs, the Protection & Control Seminar offers three distinct program tracks. Participants will select one track and follow it for the duration of the seminar.
Distribution Protection Track
The Distribution Protection Track caters to those requiring a thorough knowledge of protection, control, and power quality monitoring of electric power distribution systems, including strategies to address challenges arising from the significant presence of Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
