Ieee Announces Five New Standards And A Standards-development Project For The Smart Grid

Bangalore, March11,2012:IEEE, the worlds largest professional association advancing

technology for humanity, today announced five new standards, as well as a modified standards-development project, that are all intended to aid the efficient rollout of the smart grid worldwide. The new standards and standards projects recently approved by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board carve critical new dimensions into the IEEE portfolio of more than 100 active standards or standards in development relevant to the smart grid.

The new standards approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board are the byproduct of intensifying smart-grid deployment around the world, said Judith Gorman, managing director, IEEE-SA. New lessons have been learned, and best practices and insights on challenges are surfacing as smart-grid rollout continues to gain steam globally. The IEEE-SA has been a worldwide leader in smart-grid standards development even prior to the movements inception, and these standards and projects underscore our ongoing commitment to accelerating realization of the smart grids far-ranging and futuristic promise for power users, utilities and manufacturers alike.

Smart-grid standardsnewlypublishedbyIEEE-SAincludethefollowing:

IEEE C37.118.1-2011 Standard for Synchrophasor Measurements for Power Systems is intended to define synchronized phasors and frequency measurements in substations, along with methods and requirements for verifying such measurements in power system analysis and operations under both static and dynamic conditions. IEEE C37.118.1 is available for purchase at theIEEE Standards Store.

IEEE C37.118.2-2011 Standard for Synchrophasor Data Transfer for Power Systems is intended to specify a method (including messaging types, use, contents and data formats) for real-time communications among phasor measurement units (PMUs), phasor data concentrators (PDCs) and other power-system applications. IEEE C37.118.2 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.

IEEE C37.238-2011Standard Profile for Use of IEEE Std. 1588 Precision Time Protocol in Power System Applicationsis designed to provide precise time synchronization within and among substations across wide geographic areas via Ethernet communications networks.The standard is intended to extend proven techniques for precise time distribution to applications such asmission-critical power-system protection, control, automation and data communication. IEEE C37.238isavailableforpurchaseatthe IEEE Standards Store.

IEEE C37.232-2011Standard for Common Format for Naming Time Sequence Data Files (COMNAME)is designed to define the naming of time sequence data (TSD) files that originate from digital-protection and -measurement devices. The standard proceduregainingin popularity among major utilities, independent system operators and manufacturershelpsresolve problems associated with reporting, saving, exchanging, archiving and retrieving large numbers of files.IEEE C37.232isavailableforpurchaseattheIEEE Standards Store.

IEEE 1020-2011 Guide for Control of Small (100 kVA to 5 MVA) Hydroelectric Power Plants updates an existing IEEE standard to address significant technology changes impacting small hydro-plant control issues and monitoring requirements that have emerged since the guides original publication. IEEE 1020 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.

Additionally, IEEE-SA recently modified the scope and purpose of an existing standards-development project related to the smart grid. IEEE P1409 Draft Guide for the Application of Power Electronics for Power Quality Improvement on Distribution Systems Rated 1 kV Through 38 kV is being developed to introduce and define the emerging technology of custom power and detail guidelines and performance expectations for its application in improving power quality and control. IEEE P1409 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.
