FEATURED PROGRAM
Washington lab donates relays to EET program Schweitzer Engineering Labs Inc. in Pullman, Wash., recently donated stateof- the-art microprocessor-based power system relays to YSU’s School of Engineering Technology. The equipment is valued at nearly$60,000, said Ted Bosela, professor in the electrical engineering technology program. The equipment will be used to provide students enrolled in the EET program with experiences in the application of smart grid technologies in the power generation, transmission and distribution areas. The relays, which form the building blocks of smart grid technology, have enhanced communications capabilities that can be used for realtime monitoring, protection and control of the power system, Bosela said. “Having this equipment means that we will be able to provide our students with instruction using real-world equipment,” he said. “This will help them in the field, since this is the same equipment used by the electric utility companies and large industrial plants to protect, control and monitor their power systems. Bosela said he attended an SEL technical seminar in Columbus last spring when the regional business manager from SEL told him about the company’s program to donate equipment to universities. “She told me to look through their catalog and see what I wanted,” he said. “So, working with the SEL application engineers, I submitted to design and construct power system training equipment that incorporated the SEL relays and sent it to her. Several weeks later, I received word that it had been approved. “ The SEL equipment arrived early last fall. “Since then, we have been constructing the training equipment, and expect to have it fully operational for instruction this fall,” Bosela said.
