Welcome!
For 61 years the Annual Conference for Protective Relay Engineers has provided the best available
information on protective relay applications and technology. With the changes that have occurred in
the electric power industry and with the business emphasis on efficiency and cost savings, the relay
conference is even more important than ever.
Engineers tell me that they have far less time today to familiarize themselves with available equipment
and systems and must rely more than ever on manufacturers and outside contractors. This means that the
networking and concentrated information that is provided by our relay conference is critical to helping
protection engineers understand new protection concepts, advances in equipment, and problems that have
occurred in the application of systems and devices. Engineers interested in the design, application, and
operation of protective relay systems and equipment will be challenged by a wide range of papers, panels,
and discussion forums that will help them do their jobs better!
The planning committee of the conference works closely with representatives from manufacturing companies
and operating utilities to select papers and presentations that are both practical and educational. Special
tutorials are presented that provide new engineers with the basics and fundamentals. Utility presentations
give application information that represents a valuable supplement to manufacturers' specifications. At every
level the planning committee seeks to strike a balance between innovative concepts and practical solutions
to current problems.
We are very happy you have joined us for this important event. It is our hope that the Conference for
Protective Relay Engineers at Texas A&M University will be added to your annual calendar on a
permanent basis.
B. Don Russell, Chairman
