PSRCC Scope

Treatment of all matters in which the dominant factors are the principles, application, design, construction, testing, and operation of power system protection and control. Protection and control systems include one or more of the following functions: sensing, data acquisition and processing, fault detection, manual or automatic control, and auxiliary operation.

17

PSRCC Scope (Part 2)

Included are:

• The devices providing these functions such as protective relaying, regulating, monitoring, synchronism-check, synchronizing, and reclosing relays; transducers; and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs).

• The functions employed in the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electrical energy, and their effects on system operation.

• The environmental phenomena that can adversely affect them.

18


• The communication, cybersecurity, time synchronization, and related requirements necessary to support protection and control systems, such as the identification and declaration of object modeling, message sizes, latencies, and jitter for satisfying technical and business requirements.

19


• The scope includes liaison and cooperation with other technical committees, societies, groups and associations concerned with various aspects of items herein.

23

C: System Protection Subcommittee

Scope: Evaluate protection system responses to abnormal power system states. Evaluate and report on special protection schemes, remedial actions schemes, monitoring and control systems and their performance during abnormal power system conditions. Recommend corrective strategies and develop appropriate standards, guides, or special publications. Evaluate and report on new technologies which may have a bearing on protection system performance during abnormal power system conditions.

25

H: Relay Communications and Control Subcommittee

• Scope: Evaluate and report on the characteristics and performance of protective relaying communications and control systems. Recommend communication requirements, operating and test procedures which assure reliable performance of the overall protection and control system. Report on new relaying equipment designs tailored to specific communication requirements.

• Included are matters necessary to the function of

What does the PSRC Do ?

• Responsible for 55+ IEEE Standards and Guides

• Standards have 10 year life

• Before the 10 years expires the standard must be updated and balloted

• Technical paper review

• Write reports / papers

31

Working Group Process • Education

– Speakers present topics pertinent to the standard

– Working group member learn about topic

– One reason to join working group

• Writing or rewriting

– Members write various portions of the standard

– Writing assignments are reviewed and revised

• Balloting

– Ballot and resolve comments

– 75% approval needed

– Anyone can join balloting body

– Just be an IEEE SA member 32

Working Group Process

• Forward to IEEE SA for final approval and publishing

• After Ballot is finished working group assignment is complete

• Working group may publish

– Transaction paper

– Conference paper

– Tutorial

33

Working Group for Reports • Often a subject is too new for a Standard

• Write a Report to Main Committee or Subcommittee

• Path similar to path taken for a Standard except

– No PAR

– No 5 year completion date

– Ballot process less formal

– Done by consensus

• Can be reopened at a later date to create Standard
