Regional requirements for NERC performance compliance varies throughout the United States. Where applicable, the generator and excitation system are required go through a series of tests for model validation. These tests can be quite time consuming and expensive. Not all paper mills are required to comply, but some may be directed to do so by the utility because of their machine's size, its relative interconnection to the system, and how and where the generator output is directed. [1] One feature for modern excitation systems is a Power System Stabilizer (PSS). The PSS is used on machines 25 MVA or larger where power system stability issues develop on voltage-weak systems and where NERC compliance applies. Power system stability is generally an issue in the western United States depending upon the power plant's location. The PSS augments the control of the excitation system to dampen MW oscillations after a system disturbance. This paper discusses the testing expectations for modeling NERC-compliant plants and the strategies for tuning a PSS. [2]

The Pulp, Paper, and Forest Industries Conference (PPFIC) sponsored by the IEEE-IAS Pulp and Paper Industry Committee (PPIC) needs more papers from end-users. In an effort to make the process easier, the authors of this paper offer some suggestions. In general, end-users are interested in hearing papers that address concerns and opportunities they experience in their facilities. An excellent way to develop papers that meet the interests of the various end-users is if the end-users themselves write papers on topics that are of interest to them, and therefore of interest to the wider community. For potential authors, this paper suggests a few guidelines that might help in constructing and presenting a paper.

Recognizing the challenge that the Pulp and Paper Industry faces going forward in attracting and retaining new, young electrical engineering professionals, the IEEE Pulp and Paper Industry Committee (PPIC) and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society (IAS) have worked together to provide partial financial sponsorships for young industry engineers to attend their Annual Conferences. This provides a low cost way for young engineering professionals to experience this forum for the exchange of electrical applications technology relating to forest products based industries and is a great way to meet other industry engineers, learn solutions to real mill needs and network with professionals from the industry.

The functionality of various communication methods continue to change as advanced protocols and media are applied to, not only commercial products, but also industrial products. This paper will provide the electrical engineer with a fundamental background and other basics regarding various communication standards, protocols and media. When electrical engineers are engaged in the interconnection of devices where various communication methods are employed, a review of the requirements of these systems is required. These may include process automation protocols, industrial control system protocols, building automation protocols, power system automation protocols, and automatic meter reading protocols. These system requirements demand a full review to determine the interconnections and media necessary for successfully integrating these into the enterprise communication system.

For several decades, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has increased its requirements for companies to reduce accidents resulting from electric shock or other injuries resulting from direct or indirect contact with energized conductors in electrical equipment. Users need to refer to the guidelines outlined in the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA-70E, as well as IEEE Std 1584, to satisfy OSHA requirements. An arc hazard analysis to determine the incident energy of the electrical equipment is a fundamental requirement, to ensure that the proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is available to protect workers against high incident energy. From the arc-flash analysis, many users are discovering higher than acceptable levels of incident energy on the secondary bus of their load center substations. Fortunately, an operation and maintenance arc-flash reduction solution is available that involves designing the protection in the upstream device on the primary side of the MV or LV load center substation.

Coaters sections are challenging to tune during the commissioning of a paper machine. This paper presents a detailed mechanical-electrical model of a one-coater section which includes a linear, operating point model of the sheet in the different spans, all the drivetrain components, and the vector controlled ac drives. The sheet model considers tail widening as well as the effect of coating and drying on the sheet elastic constant, activation of the torque current control and the beginning of coating. The developed model allows for complete evaluation of the different transient events including paper slack due to load impacts. Results show that the best performance of the drives is obtained operating the spans with even sheet tensions, which reduces and/or eliminates the operation of the drives in regeneration or braking zones.

Most mills in the forest products industry still have a variety of DC Drive/Motor applications. Aging systems pose an increased probability of failure. Unless it is a rare facility that has a full collection of spare motors, there is the inevitability that a failed motor will not have an exact match. This paper reviews some basic DC motor operation, explores the critical parameters to address when it isn't possible to find an exact match and outlines some data that should be gathered ahead of time to help in the analysis.
