Output:
Report to Main Committee and IEEE Transactions Paper
C2 met Wednesday May 22, 2002 in Pittsburgh PA with 10 members and 20 guest present. Steve Kunsman joined as a member making the total 27 members.
Charles Perry from EPRI/PEAC presented material on Substation Monitoring with Smart Relays based on an EPRI project that evaluated multiple IED’s ability to capture PQ data. Charles will verify whether the EPRI report can made available to the C2 WG.
Russ Patterson from C2 WG member presented material on PQDIF (IEEE 1159.3 Power Quality Data Interchange Format) for exchange of PQ data between different devices, simulation tools and analysis applications. A new section in chapter 6 will be added to the report discussing PQDIF.
TW Cease stated that the report is almost complete but is still missing some input (IEC standards). Since the report is near completion, the WG needs to make any and all comments promptly with a goal of finishing the report by January 2003.
Damir Novosel commented that a transaction paper needs to be written based on the report with a goal of completion by September 2003.
Damir Novosel will make sure the web-site is ready to allow for posting/distributing of the report since it is getting large.
Alex Apostolov raised the issue of will the report will address the Definite Time Overcurrent protection versus Inverse Instantaneous Overcurrent protection of relay operations to improve PQ. Alex to fax hard copy of the paper to TW Cease for consideration of including this topic in the paper.

Working group reviewed the assignment and draft 3 of the outline for the paper. Also discussed was an IEEE paper “Fault and Disturbance Data Requirement for Automated Computer Analysis”, which covers many of the same subjects proposed for the WG paper. The outline was accepted and writing assignments were made.
A brief presentation was made by Jim Ingleson on a power swing event. Jim showed the group a graph of the system frequency response for a power system disturbance.

Report to Main Committee
The WG met in a single session with 12 members and 11 guests in attendance. After a discussion and overview of the last draft (Ver. 7.2) of the report, now over 80 pages long, the WG unanimously approved the report and submitted it to the consideration of the SC. Publication options of the report in its present form are to be decided by the SC (special publication of IEEE, or fee-based web downloading).
It was also decided to propose to the SC a creation of the new WG, entitled “Publications for Wide Area Protection and Emergency Control”, with the following Assignment
Based on the report of C-6, create the following publications:
1. IEEE Transactions paper to present an overview of the C-6 report
2. Conference paper and presentation
Expected completion date should be no later than September 2003.
If approved b y the SC, the new WG will meet in September 2003 in a single session (computer projector needed).
p.s. During the meeting, it was also decided that a paper be submitted based on the report for the Special Issue of IEEE Proceedings on “Energy Infrastructure Defense Systems”. That task needs to be completed by September 1, 2002, and will be coordinated by M. Begovic. The effort was also discussed of producing an expanded version of the report in the form of a monograph, for which some publishers have approached the WG. The monograph would target the readership interested in future applications of WAPEC.
Next meeting: single session, room for 25 people + Projector (if needed to resolve negative ballots)

C10: Effects on Changing Utility Environment on Protective Relaying

J. DeLa Re
Vice-Chair: R. Hunt
Established, 1999
Expected Completion Date: 2002
Output:
Report to Main Committee
The working group met 11:00 AM,
Wednesday, May 22, 2002 in Ballroom 4 with 16 members and guests. The Chairman distributed copies of the last
meeting minutes.
We presented written contributions
from MarK Carpenter, Tom Domin and Vahid Madani. These contributions will help us to structure our paper/report to
the subcommittee. We are still
expecting contribution from two more members.
The contributions seem to indicated a common pattern with increase
functionality and documentation in each of the three areas of the system. Distribution, transmission and
generation. Also, Special Protection
Schemes are proliferating as a result of the changes in the structure of the
utility industry.
In regards to our survey, to
05/15/2002, only 16 people had responded and more contributions are
needed. The comment amongst the
attendees of today’s meeting is that the survey seems to indicate that is only
for utility engineers. All members of
PSRC are invited to respond to the survey.
If a questions is not applicable to your company/position, please just
leave the question unanswered. We need
the contributions of many to obtain significant results from the survey.
For those of you that did not
received a copy, please feel free to contact Jaime De La Ree or visit the C-10
web-page inside of the PSRC web-site.
The chair and vice-chair will
condense contributions and results of the survey to write the first draft of
the WG C-10 Paper. All members and
guest are invited to discuss on the draft or to contribute to it.
Action Items:
Survey Response: Interested PSRC Members
First Draft of the paper: Jaime De La Ree, Rich Hunt July 15, 2002
Next meeting: single session, room for 25 people
C11: Protection Issues During System Restoration
Chair:
T. Sidhu
Vice-Chair:
D. Tziouvaras
Established: 2000
The WG met on May 21, 2002 with 8
members and 13 guests in attendance.
Draft #1 of the report was discussed.
A number of suggestions for
changes were made. Contributors of
these sections will incorporate the
suggested changes. New assignments
were made. The new assignments and
the revised sections are due to the
Chairman by July 15, 2002. The new
draft will be sent to the members for
discussion at the Sept. meeting.
Next meeting: single session, room for 35 people + Projector

On January 29, the Power System Stability Controls Subcommittee met from 8:00 to 9:00, with 69 members and guests attending. Following the business meeting, Brad Johnson chaired a technical paper session with three transactions papers and two proceedings papers. On January 29 afternoon, the Subcommittee sponsored the panel session Emergency Voltage Stability Controls; the attendance was 30-40. On January 30, the Subcommittee sponsored the panel session Fast-Acting Load Control for System and Price Stability with 30 in attendance.
Plans for the Chicago 2002 IEEE SPM meeting include a panel session on Power System Stability Controls Using Power Electronic Devices. John Doudna suggested a future panel session work on frequency control and Willie Wong proposed a session on system controls with wind generation.
The TF on Fast-Acting Direct Load Control for System and Price Stability chaired by Jeff Dagle met on January 28. The TF on Benchmark Systems for Stability Controls chaired by Ian Hiskens met on January 28. The WG on Power Systems Dynamic Measurements chaired by Dick Schulz met on January 28 with high attendance. The WG is preparing a report.
Liaison reports were received from Juan Sanchez-Gasca on the IEEE Excitation Subcommittee TF on Power System Stabilizers, and from Nelson Martins on CIGRE TF 38.02.23 on Coordinated Voltage Control in Transmission Networks.
Several notes from the Load Control panel session: Cannon Technologies and PEPCO panelists indicated that pager technology is available to shed air conditioner or other load in 10-15 seconds. CaISO and ISO New England panelists indicated that direct load control from an ISO is difficult because they don't directly interface with customers. This did not seem to be a problem, however, for PJM/PEPCO. Hopefully my recollections are accurate; the panel papers are on the above web site.
The 2002 IEEE SPM committee sponsored agenda is the following:
1) Tuesday, July 23 8:00 am-9:00 am Power System Stability Controls Subcommittee business meeting.
Chair C. Taylor of BPA
