Working Group C3 met Wednesday, September 24, 2003 in Madison, WI with 7 (of 14) members and 14 guests. Four guests expressed a desire to become new WG members. The vice-chair chaired the meeting in the chairman’s absence.
The working group assignment was discussed and refined. Working group output (format to be decided later):
Discussion centered on developing the topics to be covered into an overall outline.
Five represented utilities agreed to make presentations at the next meeting on their relay setting process relative to the developed outline:
The vice-chair agreed to send the outline to all participants for their review and comment.

C6: Relay Engineering in Power Engineering
Curricula
Chair: S.S. Venkata
Vice Chair: J. DeLaRee
Working group was created based upon discussions in a task force meeting. Assignment is to work on issues to encourage and propagate relay engineering in college curricula.
C7: Multi-Station and System Testing
Chair: V. Madani
Vice Chair: H. DoCarmo
C7 met in two sessions with 10 Members and 10 Guests in attendance
The key items discussed by the members and guests included:
Clarification of the assignment
Preparation of draft outline
Volunteers for presentations
WG member assignments
Next meeting requires 2 sessions room for 30 people & computer projector.
C8: Phasor-Based
Models for Analyzing Relay Performance
Chair:
M. Meisinger
Vice Chair: M. S. Sachdev
C8 met with 5 members and 4 guests. As the document is out
for ballot and
the number of responses to date are few, the meeting
adjourned in short
order and Jaime De La Ree and Mike Meisinger reviewed the
document and Jaime
will forward his comments to Moh Sachdev.
Next meeting requires 1 session & room for 20 people.
C9: Underfrequency Load Shedding and Restoration
Chair: A. Apostolov
Vice Chair: K. Behrendt
The working group met on Tuesday, September 23rd, with 6 members and 4 guests present. Draft 3 of the document was circulated for comments prior to this meeting. Draft 3 was accompanied by a working group survey, soliciting comments by the end of October. Any negative survey responses and significant comments will be resolved and incorporated in the next draft document by November 30th.
The working group discussed comments received on Draft 2. Rich Young, from ATC, volunteered to provide updated UF guidelines from MAIN. Additional changes to control area guidelines may occur in the aftermath of the August 14th blackout. We expect that the working group will review the events of August 14th to determine if any changes are warranted to the guide.
Next meeting requires 1 session room for 25 people & computer projector and outlet strip.
C10: Effects on Changing Utility Environment on Protective Relaying
Chair:
J. DeLa Re
Vice Chair: R. Hunt
The working group met for a single session at 9:30 AM,
Wednesday, September 24, 2003 in Capitol Ballroom B with 6 members and 11

As a result of discussions, a two new task force were
formed to discuss the need for possible subcommittee involvement as follows:
CTF4 Special Protection Schemes
Task Force Chair:
M. Begovic
CTF4 was formed to follow up on earlier work on wide
area relaying and emergency control.
This task force will discuss the need to form a working group to explore
more detailed information on the topic of special protection schemes.
Next meeting requires 1 session, room for 30 people, & computer projector.
CTF1 Cyber Security Issues for Relaying
Task Force Chair:
S. Ward
This task force will discuss the need to form a
working group to explore issues related to security in microprocessor based
relays and related equipment in substations including the use of passwords,
encoding, remote access, etc.
