WINDPOWER 2013 / S&C ELECTRIC COMPANY TOUR

S&C is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers in Chicago and is opening its doors to show how they have become a leader in the implementation of wind power.  Founded in 1911, S&C’s headquarters spans over 40 acres with over 1 million square feet of manufacturing under roof.  Attendees will be bussed to historic Rogers Park and take part in an interactive tour of the facilities that produce the S&C equipment that make wind energy possible including Wind- Turbine Style Vista® Switchgear and S&C’s System VI™ Switchgear.

Attendees will then visit S&C’s Advanced Technology Center which is the largest short-circuit testing lab in North America.  Next they will visit S&C’s Global Support and Monitoring Center which conducts 24/7 monitoring of the critical equipment that keeps wind farms around the globe connected to the grid.  The tour will be concluded in S&C’s Product Demonstration Center for refreshments and a live demonstration that will show how the smart grid works and how wind energy is a critical part of it.  This tour fills up fast, so sign up now.
