Standard Activities

PSRC Standards Coordinator's report
2005 - May - 26


 

The Standards Coordinator, Jeffrey Gilbert, met with the Chairs of the Working Groups writing and revising standards documents at a session beginning at 8:00 AM on May 24, 2005, in room D230 of the Columbus Convention Center. Christina Sahr gave a presentation on the IEEE SA myBallot system.

The status of selected PARs, Standards and Guides, were reviewed at the meeting. The status of the PARs is summarized below. The actions to be taken for keeping up-to-date the approval of the PARs and for keeping live the Standards and Guides are identified. A summary of the specific approvals received, since the January 2005 meeting of the PSRC, are identified as well.

Information concerning the Standards Association (SA), Board of Governors, Committees of SA, the Development of standards, Recommended Practices and Guides and related issues is available on the following web site.

Some important Information

  1. Continuous processing of PAR's, to allow the New Standards Committee to review and approve standards outside of the quarterly Standards Board meetings was approved late last year. Use of email and the Web and reduces the time needed to process a standards project from approximately 90 days to 30 days. We have two PARs under review using continuous processing.

  2. On March 7, 2005, IEEE-SA's new web-based balloting system and service replaced the e-balloting system the IEEE-SA had in place. Working group chairs manage their own Invitation Pool participation through their IEEE Web Account. We experienced a few problems due to the software being new and balloters being unfamiliar with the system. Presentations by Christina Sahr to subcommittee and working group chairs as well as the Main Committee addressed these issues.

  3. The IEEE Standards Association now includes draft standards in its IEEE Standards Online Subscription packages.


    Standards Coordination Effort
    PARs applied for by all Committees of the Power Engineering Society (PES) are being circulated among the Standards Coordinators of the PES Committees. The number and title of each new PAR approved by the Standards Board is posted on the PSRC Web site at the following address.

    http://www.pes-psrc.org/Astandards.html

    The copy of each PAR can be viewed by clicking at the number of the PAR in the list. All members of the PSRC are requested to review the newly approved PARs. If you are interested in the development work planned in a PAR, contact the Chair of the Working Group that is developing the document and sign up for participating in the activity of that Working Group.
