General Discussion/Administrative38 Attendees, Quorum met.

Meeting start:Chair John McDaniel called the IEEE Distribution Subcommittee (DSC) meeting to order (10:03 ET).

Minutes of last meeting:The meeting minutes from 2020 PES GM meeting were emailed to members to vote on approval and were approved via eBallot. All meeting minutes, agendas, and other documentation are located on the subcommittee’s website at https://cmte.ieee.org/pes-dist/.

Fellow nominationsThere were no new Transmission & Distribution IEEE Fellows announced.

AwardsTom Beckwith was the 2020 recipient of the Excellence in Power Distribution Engineering Award.There was no recipient for IEEE PES Douglas M. Staszesky Distribution Automation Award due to lack of nominations. Chair asked for attendees to present nominations for the awards this year.

Chair reportJohn presented the Chair’s report. Highlights of his discussion are discussed below: - Entity standards- China T&D committee, in particular its distribution subcommittee: discussed that their DSC has a

broader scope than us and that they are looking for Liaisons with our T&D. Sal asked for a summary of the meeting with China Satellite T&D, and John (chair) to send it to the DSC and members.

- Dan Sabin mentioned that WeChat is blocked in the US; Michael Kipness mentioned he will follow up on using iMeetCentral for meetings with China T&D.

John’s full report is attached at the end in the attachments section.

Vice Chair reportSal Martino discussed his Vice Chair report. He is also the vice chair of Stray and Contact Voltage WG in our DSC, chair of Smart Distribution WG in our DSC, and also chairing two task forces. Sal is also attending other C and SC meetings. Sal is also the Vice Chair of the sensors subcommittee. He also plans to attend ISGT in February.

WG reports1 page summary of the WG reports are presented in the following pages. Complete draft minutes are in the last page of this document.

Notable discussion while WG reports were presented:- Sahar to share their Microgrid TF report with Masoud and he shares it with the voting members of

DSC. She also asked about changing the name and scope of her WG (DRI); Michael from IEEE

https://cmte.ieee.org/pes-dist/


mentioned that when the WG scope is changed, T&D AdCom should approve the change. The other option is that the T&D AdCom could defer that decision to the DSC.

- Resilience WG and discussion on wildfire resilience: Heidi suggested a discussion forum rather than a TF, and Charlie suggested a panel session would be better. Masoud to contact the team on the next steps.

Liaison reportJohn mentioned that we do not have a Liaison with the transformers committee and asked if anyone is interested in the position.

Roundtable Topics of NoteSkipped.

Liaison reportsPowe Quality Subcommittee

Matthew Norwalk

The PQ Subcommittee a new working groups, P2938 Economic Evaluation of Voltage Sags Entity Working Group. Mark Stephens (EPRI) and Dan Sabin (Schneider Electric) who are active in the PQ Subcommittee joined the working group using their Corporate Entity membership.

1453 Flicker and 519 Harmonics were both approved by the WG membership and PQ Subcommittee to move to ballot, with the major change for 519 defined as a load-based standard to harmonize with 1547 and P2800. A decision matrix has been included 519, using a load demand greater than 10% of rated generation.

The Power Quality Data Analytics Working Group was awarded the Technical Committee Working Group Recognition Award for Outstanding Technical Report for the IEEE PES T&D Committee. This working group is focused on predictive analytics and is working on defining the scope and purpose for a new PAR to be submitted for approval this year.

Participation from members from the Distribution SC would be of great benefit to two PQ Subcommittee projects. The recently formed Imbalance Working Group chaired by Chris Mullins is underway with developing P2844, a standard that will establish recommended limits for voltage imbalance and covers the investigation and mitigation of imbalance in both distribution and transmission systems. P1409, Power Quality Solutions Working Group is working on revising 1409-2012, a standard that does consider distribution reliability topics as well as smart grid technologies. This group is chaired by Dan Sabin.


Sensors Subcommittee

Sal Martino

IEEE PSIM Sensors Subcommittee http://www.psimcommittee.org/subcommittees/sensors/

Group Chair: Ron Pate (ABB)

This subcommittee held its second meeting as a subcommittee. The scope of this subcommittee is still under review. Craig Preuss (B&V) representing PSCC presented some concerns about overreach of scope with other subcommittees. Even though the scope has not been formally been recognized by PSIM, the work of the two groups underneath its umbrella have been formally approved and continue work. Ron Pate will lead the effort to formalize the scope. Group wants to collaborate with SDWG and VVWG on application guidance in future after current documents in development are more mature (and closer to final draft).

Accuracy Test Protocol for Distribution Smart Grid Sensors

Group Chair: Francisc Zavoda (Hydro Quebec)

This working group is working on the P2681 guide for testing accuracy. The group is making progress on a draft which it looks to complete by the middle of 2021. The group is in need of additional utility user feedback and input to the guide.

Technical Paper on Accuracy Testing for MV Smart Grid Sensors

Chair: Ron Pate (ABB)

This group is working on a technical paper discussing the concepts of accuracy and uncertainty as both terms are important to selection and use of sensors. This paper will serve as a companion to the P2681 guide for testing accuracy.

Environmental and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity levels and type-tests simulating environments associated with electric apparatus are described. Acceptance criteria for evaluating device functionality are provided. For devices with communication ports, where the device does not perform protection or control functions, testing of the communication functions is covered by IEEE Std 1613. Where the device performs protection or control functions and has communication ports, tests for all communication functions are covered by the IEEE C37.90 family of standards.

NESC – Rusty Soderberg Section revisions of note

The normal publication schedule of the NESC was disrupted by the Covid-19 virus last year, with the 2022 NESC becoming the 2023 NESC, publication date August 1, 2022. With this postponement, it was thought that the NESC Subcommittees could meet in person in September and October of 2021 to vote on accepting or rejecting Change Proposals (CP). The NESC Main Subcommittee is now meeting to discuss “Plan B, what if we cannot meet in Piscataway and argue with each other?” It is not as difficult to hold a virtual meeting for an hour or two, however the NESC Subcommittee meetings are up to 10 hours per day for a week, and considering the “discussions” in those meetings, virtual meetings would be very difficult. Because of the one-year delay in the meeting schedule, it has been very quiet for the last year in the subcommittees, when usually emails are constantly flying around.

Other items of interest: new businesses, new direction/scope, new WGs/TFs, liaison/coordination with other societies/committees/WGs, issues, QUOROM Problems, etc. (5 at most)

Overhead Lines WG 7, “OHL Changes to the NESC,” met on Thursday, January 14, 2021. Below is an update from that meeting.

Overhead Lines WG 7 mostly deals with NESC Subcommittee 4, Clearances, where there were 266 comments on 99 CP’s, and Subcommittee 5, Strength and Loading, where there were 134 comments on 44 CP’s. Reviewing these CP’s and comments is what will be completed in the NESC Subcommittee meetings this fall.

Members of ASCE and the NESC are collaborating on the proper wind and ice maps, risk categories, and strength and loading criteria to use for line design. One topic brought up in this portion of the OHL WG 7 presentation was that FEMA, following Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, took a very liberal look at ASCE 7-16 and decided that the design wind speeds in Puerto Rico should be 250 mph versus the wind map speed in ASCE 7-16 of 150 mph. Based on the Puerto Rico conclusions, it was stated that we want to drive line design.

Future Conferences/Meetings

Overhead Lines WG 7, “OHL Changes to the NESC,” will meet during the IEEE PES General Meeting in July 2021.

NESC Subcommittee Meetings (voting on the Change Proposals to the 2023 Code), September and October 2021.

ANSI C84 – Larry Conrad C84.1 2020 was published last year.
