The WG met did not meet.

WG met for a single session on September 14 with 14 members and 37 guests present.

Two topics were discussed by the working group:

• Testing of Programmable Scheme Logic in Microprocessor Based Relays :
  The discussions were related to testing methods, tools, requirements and reporting for PSL in relays.
• Protection of Breaker-and-a-Half and Ring-Bus Configurations:
  The discussion was related to the implementation of single device with multiple sets of current and voltage analog inputs that provides line/transformer protection plus breaker protection and control, versus individual devices providing breaker protection and control.

The next meeting in January 2000 will have one presentation by Barry Jackson, Duke Power and discussions on Protection Functions in Substation Integration Systems.

The Working Group met on September 14 in a single session with 10 members and 8 guests in attendance.

Our member, Ken Martin, gave a presentation on implementation of the phasor measurement system in BPA, and provided very interesting information about the data communication and other implementation aspects.

There was some discussion on the current draft of the report. It was agreed that additional information about existing SPS be provided in the report. Some assignments were made for continuation of the work on WG report.’

For January meeting in San Diego, following is proposed:

• Single session
• Overhead projector will be needed.

Output: Transactions Paper

The Working Group met at 1:30 PM on September 14. Four members and Eight guests were present.

The Minutes of the WG meeting held on May 12, 1999 in Albuquerque, NM distributed by Email were approved.

Five writing contributions submitted by the members were consolidated into a single document by Moh Sachdev to facilitate their review. The consolidated document was distributed by Email to the members of the Working Group before the meeting and copies were made available at the meeting.

The document was reviewed and it was suggested that Section III.B.3 (Model Implementation) should be rewritten in a generic form to eliminate any perceived commercial endorsement of MatLab. M. Begovic volunteered to rewrite this section in a generic form.

The WG also determined that it is necessary to review Section 3.1 (Phasor Measurement Methods) to ensure consistency of content. This review was assigned to Moh Sachdev.

Writing of Sections I (Introduction) and Section II (Definitions) had not been assigned previously. Sam Sambasivan and Liancheng Wang were asssigned the writing of Section I (Introduction).

Writing of Section II (Definitions) was assigned to Alex Apostolov.

Sam Sambasivn and Liancheng Wang joined the the Working Group.

Output: Guide

The working group met on Tuesday, September 14th, with 14 members and 16 guests present. The working group reviewed the guide’s title, scope and purpose that was developed and agreed upon at the last meeting. Attention then focused on developing an outline for the guide. A proposed outline was drafted and initial writing assignments were made to cover the outlined material. An informal survey of UF load shedding and load restoration methods will be performed within the working group to help gather material for the guide.

The scheduled completion date remains December, 2001. The working group expects to meet in single session at the next PSRC meeting, and needs a room for 30 with an overhead projector.

Output: Transactions Paper

The working group met on with 5 members and 11 guests present. As Chairman, De La Ree, was absent, Vice-chairman held the meeting. Actions from the meeting are:

1. Assignment is changed to: "Effects of Changing Utility Environment on Protective Relaying"
2. Tefvik Sezi will write a summary of the discussion, as a "start-up" of the paper.

Next meeting: 20-25 attendants. Single session

IEEE Working Group on Power System Dynamics Measurements, G. Michel

The Working Group met Monday, July 19, 1999 at the IEEE/PES 1999 Summer Power Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada immediately after a Panel Session it sponsored entitled "Power System Dynamic Performance Monitoring for Operation, Protection, and Planning." The Panel Session was well attended. The panel material is in the Conference Proceedings, Volume 1, under the conference theme: "Reliability Management in the New Environment, Track 1.

After a brief update of recent activities, the Working Group agreed that the purpose of present and past panel sessions of providing a common understanding of the state of development of monitoring technology and applications have been met. No additional panel sessions are planned. The Working Group agreed to develop a set of preferred capabilities for Power System Dynamics Monitors. This work is not intended to be a standard. It will describe monitoring experience.

The Working Group will not meet at the PES Winter Meeting in Singapore.

The next Working Group Meeting will be July, 2000 at the IEEE PES SPM in Seattle, Washington.
