This seminar will introduce the topics of Grounding, Safety in Electrical Installations and Lightning Protection. This seminar will address the basic principals that determine grounding system design procedures, applicable standards and the basis of the standards. Design procedures will be described and will be demonstrated with state of the art computer programs. Finally the important issues of grounding and lightning shielding design will be addressed with the basic methodologies.

Topics include:

• Grounding System Design Principals
• Grounding System Performance
• IEEE Std 80 Design Procedures
• Soil Characterization
• Integrated Grounding System Design Procedures
• Ground Design for Lightning

Dr. Meliopoulos obtained a Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University in Athens Greece in 1972,  M.S.E.E. (1974) and Ph.D. (1976) from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta Georgia, USA.    Dr. Meliopoulos joined the faculty of the Georgia Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor(1976), Associate Professor (1982-88) and full Professor (1989- present). Since 1999 Dr. Meliopoulos has served as the Georgia Tech site Director of PSERC, a power system research consortium of universities and industry. Dr. Meliopoulos has pioneered several new analysis and design techniques for safety, protection and electromagnetic compatibility of electric power systems. Dr. Meliopoulos has modernized many power system courses at Georgia Tech, introduced new courses,  initiated the power system certificate program for practicing engineers and most importantly he has introduced visualization and animation methodogies that dramatically increase the teaching efficiency of complex power system concepts. Dr. Meliopoulos is a Fellow of the IEEE, holds 3 patents, published 2 books, a chapter in the Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers and over 250 papers. He has received a number of awards, including the Sigma Xi Young Faculty award (1981), outstanding Continuing Education Award, Georgia Institute of Technology (2002), three of his papers have received the best paper award (IEEE-PES-SC-1984, IEEE-PES-EC-1987 and IEEE-CSS-HICSS 2002), IEEE Richard Kaufman Award (2005) and named Georgia Power Distinguished Professor 2006
