Education Opportunities
• See Joe Sottile report , co-locate with PES Plain Talk: The series consists of three courses:
Power System Basics Distribution System Transmission System • Might not be of interest to Annual meeting
attendees but could bring additional attendance and revenue to conference
Education Opportunities • PES is co-locating “Plain Talk” series in
Orlando. • They will have their own registration – hope
that some “cross pollination” will occur. • Have 5 or 6 Tutorials – Joe Sottile report
Tours
• CMD putting together a tour to Kennedy Space Center on Sunday – as with Houston in 2010, will allow conference attendees to also tag onto this tour (maximum 43 people
Next Steps
• Get the conference registration site up (later this week)
• Authors “invited” to submit to S1M (with conference registration number)
• Finalize sessions and meetings

New Technologies and IAS
Are we proactive? Do we serve our members’ needs?
Bruno Lequesne
May 15th, 2011
New technologies and IAS Niagara Falls, ON, May 2011
Slide # 2
Background (1) • Explosive growth of use of power electronics and smarts in our
traditional field of interest: – Microgrids, smartgrids for industrial and commercial systems – Renewable systems – Transportation electrification
• New needs in all industries:
– Sustainability, carbon footprint
• New industries and applications – Data centers (use 2% of US electrical output – not trivial)
Is our current structure serving these needs appropriately?
– Conference, committees, tutorials
Should we chart a roadmap and encourage initiatives in strategic areas?

New technologies and IAS Niagara Falls, ON, May 2011
Slide # 3
Background (2)
• Pending request to form a new committee – Dan Ionel, concerning Renewables – Rationale (from Dan):
• Explosive growth of subject • Difficult time identifying reviewers for ECCE 2011
– Contrast with Electric Machines Committee • Others have similar committees (IES, PELS) • Such a committee in IAS would provide the infrastructure to develop
the technology, paper reviews, etc
• Dead committee: Appliances
• New committee: Last one was formed in 1985
• New conferences: A number have been initiated (ESW, ECCE, ESTS, etc.), though many initially from outside IAS

New technologies and IAS Niagara Falls, ON, May 2011
Slide # 4
Vision: Renewables
• Should we encourage this committee?
• Which structure, name?
• In which Department?
• Is this going to be just a committee, or should it be encouraged to map out a strategy: Conferences, symposia, tutorials, Transactions (already exist)?
New technologies and IAS Niagara Falls, ON, May 2011
Slide # 5
Vision: Beyond Renewables, New technologies and applications
• What technologies are underserved with our current structure?
• Which industry is growing under our nose with no home within IAS?

Slide # 6
Vision: New structure? • What structure would be ideal for these new technologies and
industries?
New technologies and IAS Niagara Falls, ON, May 2011

Vision: IAS Departments?
• Do our Departments adequately cover our Field of Interest?
Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Codes and Standards Energy Systems Power Systems Engineering Power Systems Protection Rural Electric Power
Industrial Power Conversion Systems Electric Machines Industrial Drives Industrial Power Converter Devices and Components
Process Industries Cement Metals Mining Petroleum and Chemical Pulp and Paper
Manufacturing Systems Development and Applications Appliance Industry Electrostatic Processes Industrial Automation and Control Industrial Lighting and Displays

Slide # 8
Background: Request from Dan Ionel
3/6/2011 Dear Bruno, I just wanted to consult with you on an IEEE IAS matter and to offer my volunteering services should these be required. I am serving as a Vice-Chair for the Sustainable Energy track at ECCE 2011. We had little problems in identifying topic chairs, but when it came to finding reviewers it was actually more of a challenge. There could be several reasons for these difficulties: the very large number of papers on the topic, the fact that the authors may be among the very few actually working in the field and yet some of them did not volunteer as reviewers, the high concentration of papers from only relatively few research groups etc.
As I was thinking why we did not experience such challenge with the Electric Machines Committee, I realized that there is no Committee for renewable and sustainable energy applications within IAS. I noticed that our sister societies have such committees, see for example IES or PELS. I believe that a Committee, or even a Department within IAS, would go a long way in gathering momentum and a stronger professional community on this fast emerging topic. This could be beneficial in many aspects, having an easier life in identifying reviewers included Please let know if you need help with such an initiative. Best wishes, Dan Ionel

this regard, issuing agenda and maintaining and reviewing minutes of IEEE meetings will
help to insure that, consistent with IEEE's decentralized structure, lines of communication
among members are maintained, topics for discussion are clearly defined, and sufficient
written records are preserved for future reference and needs.
5.4.1—It is the policy of IEEE that, whenever practicable, an agenda listing the topics for
discussion shall be sent to the members, at a reasonable time prior to each meeting (other
than formal conferences, symposia, or conventions), of ExecBoard, Departments,
Technical Committees, Subcommittees, or working groups of the Society, or a joint

goals can be furthered most productively through the intelligent utilization of the talents and
experience of various individual members serving in their separate, individual expert
capacities on appropriate IEEE Committees or working groups in the Society. No member
should construe his position to be that of a representative of his employer.

subcommittee or working group of the Society shall reflect various factors deemed
appropriate by such IEEE entities, (e.g., geographical balance, special expertise, etc.) and
shall include a reasonable proportion of persons (one or more) employed by supplier, user
and/or other involved organization in each industry that, in the judgment of the Society,

May 14, 2011 To: Lynda Bernstein, IEEE IAS Administrator Subject: Education Department 2011 2nd Quarter Report Committee Reports: Asynchronous Education Committee No major activities at this time. Conference Education Committee Submissions for the Annual Meeting tutorials were accepted until May 1st. Six tutorials have been accepted. A seventh tutorial is planned; however, the tutorial application has not been completed because the organizer’s travel commitments. Below is a summary of the tutorials. Title: Power System Harmonics (four hours) Organizer: Dr. Babak Badrzadeh, Vestas Wind Systems A/S Abstract: This tutorial discusses various aspects of power system harmonics including theory, modeling, studies, compliance, and filtering. It first presents primary sources of harmonic generation and their typical harmonic signature. The inter-harmonics generated by the current source and voltage source converters are then discussed. Various international standards for the assessment of harmonics are overviewed and their differences are highlighted. Modeling methodology for different system components including power electronics converters, cables, overhead lines, transformers, and external grid is presented, and the commonly used tools for power system harmonic analysis including time domain and frequency domain approaches are elaborated on. Harmonic susceptibility issues including harmonic resonance, harmonic instability and control interaction are then presented. Common practices for mitigation of system harmonics including multi-pulse conversion, multi-level conversion, modified modulation strategy for voltage source converters, and the use of passive and active filters are highlighted. Lastly, a step-by-step procedure for designing passive harmonic filters is elaborated on. The tutorial includes several practical examples taken from studies conducted on industrial power systems and wind power plants.

Title: Design and Operation of Motor Bus Transfer Schemes at Medium Voltage Industrial Facilities (four hours) Organizer: Chuck Mozina Abstract: This tutorial discusses the design and operation of automatic schemes to transfer loads from an interrupted bus section to the alternate bus within industrial facilities without damaging the motors being transferred. It is extremely important to maintain continuity of electric service to these facilities when the normal source has sustained an outage. Many industrial facilities have at least two independent supply sources. Each source supplies a bus section (typically at 4.16 or 13.8 KV) with a normally open bus tie between the bus sections. Upon loss of supply, the bus section must be quickly transferred to the alternate supply to avoid a major outage. The transfer must be done without damaging the motors supplied from the bus section that has sustained the outage. The tutorial discusses various schemes to provide this transfer, operating experience with each scheme, plus new designs made possible through the use of digital technology. Title: Maintenance Considerations and Planning for Electric Power Equipment (eight hours) Organizer: Dan Bumblauskas, University of Missouri, PFC Services Inc. and ABB Inc. Abstract: An introduction on various types of transformers and circuit breakers will be provided along with a discussion on the evolution of maintenance practices. This includes time based maintenance, condition-based maintenance, reliability-based maintenance and predictive maintenance. Computerized maintenance information systems have been applied to track maintenance information and history. An overview of the various systems will be provided. Such information systems have not traditionally been used to predict or simulate maintenance decisions and actions. This tutorial will detail two predictive maintenance models, a population data analysis, and a information system architecture which can be utilized to aid operations and maintenance managers with the difficult resource allocation decisions they face in the field. The first model is formulated to address the consideration of component dependency for series network connections using a Markov Decision Process (MDP) model and solution algorithm. The second model is formulated to address the prioritization of maintenance activities for a fleet of equipment using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and solution algorithm. A population data set is reviewed and a recurrent data analysis is conducted. The final element is the information system architecture linking these two models to a marketing information system (MkIS) in order to provide quotations for maintenance services. The specific industry of interest is the electrical power equipment industry with a focus on circuit breaker maintenance decision actions and priorities and the development of quotations for such services. This tutorial is of particular interest to operations and maintenance managers working in electric utility industry and those working in the renewable, sustainable, and green energy industries Title: Fundamentals of Power Distribution Systems Design: Review, Simplified and Shortcut Calculations and Guidelines (eight hours) Organizer: Dr. P.K. Sen, Colorado School of Mines & NEI Electric Power Engineering Abstract: This one-day short course has been designed for practicing engineers (young or experienced), managers and technical personnel interested in different aspects of Power Distribution Systems Engineering and Design as applied to Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Design, Rural Electric Power, Petroleum and Chemical Industry, Cement Industry, and Investor Owned Utility. The main objective of the course is to introduce the basic tools required for all power systems calculations and used in a number of design problems. The primary focus of this course is on the medium voltage (MV) power systems (115kV-4.16kV) and 480 V (LV). It is assumed that participants will have some basic and broad knowledge of fundamentals of electric power systems. Practical experience is preferable and would be very useful, but not required. Emphasis is given on hand calculations & estimations rather than computer programs. Numerous real world design problems will be solved. The short course will be divided in two, four-hour Stand-alone module. The first half will discuss the big picture and is designed for all engineering, managerial and operation and maintenance personnel. The second half will build on the concepts from the first half and will include more design problems and calculations. Extensive handouts
THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS, INC.
will be provided at the workshop. This introductory class is absolutely essential for all practicing power systems engineers and also designed to facilitate to take the “Professional Engineers” examination. Title: EMT Simulation of Rotating Machine Drives (four hours) Organizer: Tara Stokotelny, Manitoba HVDC Research Centre Abstract: This tutorial will present an electromagnetic transient (EMT)-type simulation-based approach to designing drives and their controls. Many industrial applications require precise control of their respective mechanical drive systems. For this, rotating machines with power electronic based converters are becoming increasingly more prevalent. In the design stage of a power-electronic-based machine drive simulation can help to size components, evaluate the performance and tuning of control strategies and apply necessary optimizations. Simulation can also uncover problematic areas such as susceptibility to electrical or mechanical disturbances, overall power quality effects (e.g. harmonic injection), etc. Induction and dc machines have been the key types of electric drive systems. In recent years, permanent-magnet machines are also becoming more commonplace. Theory will be discussed and using an EMT simulation tool, illustrative examples will be presented to demonstrate some methods to address aspects such as the following: schemes for speed and/or torque control; regenerative braking; controller tuning and optimization; impacts of drives on cables; full harmonic spectrum analysis to investigate effects on the supply network and machine sizing; etc. Title: Maintenance as a Safety Issue (four hours) Organizer: James R. White, Shermco Industries Abstract: Facility and maintenance supervisors and managers often think of electrical power system maintenance as an overhead expenditure. While there are costs involved, maintenance should be viewed as a safety-related issue. The 2009 edition of NFPA 70E states that a safe electrical system is one that is properly engineered, properly installed and properly maintained. It is maintenance that is often neglected or deferred, especially when budgets tighten. This four-hour program discusses why maintenance is a safety issue, provides examples of the consequences of improper maintenance, reviews NFPA 70E requirements contained in Articles 130 and 205, reviews NFPA 70B and ANSI/NETA MTS-07 standards. This practical program will provide guidance on what is required, when it is required and considerations for outsourcing maintenance or performing it with in-house staff. In addition, the PES Plain Talk Series will be co-located with the 2011 Annual Meeting. Plain Talk will provide,
• registration, CEU’s, course materials, certificates, etc. • a staffer on-site • marketing of the IAS Annual Meeting in Plain Talk marketing and websites • catering in the classroom
IAS will provide,
• room with projector/screen/flipchart/mike which can accommodate approximately 40 students classroom style, with room to set up breakfast and lunch in the back. (PES will reimburse for A/V.)
• marketing of Plain Talk on conference website and promotional materials. At the March meeting a discussion was held considering including tutorials sponsored by Plain Talk. Based on follow-up discussions, it was decided not to include tutorials sponsored by Plain Talk.

PES Plain Talk Series at the IAS Annual Meeting The IAS Education Department is considering having the PES Plain Talk Series co-located at the 2011 IAS Annual Meeting and also having one or more of the Plain Talk Tutorials offered. It is believed that co-locating the Plain Talk Series with the Annual Meeting could increase attendance at both, compared with each being conducted independently. On the other hand, the Plain Talk Tutorials would be selected based on the anticipated interest of Annual Meeting attendees. Overview
Plain Talk Series The PES Plain Talk Series is co-located with IEEE conferences ( e.g., the series will be co-located with IEEE PES PSCE, March 21-23, the IEEE PES ESMO, May 16-18, IEEE PES GM July 26-28) as well as at independent locations such as utilities. The series consists of three courses:
1. Power System Basics 2. Distribution System 3. Transmission System
When the Plain Talk basics courses are offered in conjunction with a conference, they are considered "co-located," meaning that conference registration is not required. Plain Talk has its own registration site, so the registration process is handled by Sue Koval (PES Senior Administrator Education Services). The conference will add a section or a page for Plain Talk to their website (e.g. http://www.pscexpo.com/PlainTalk.asp , http://www.esmoconference2011.com/beta/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70) where the brochure and registration links are located. So far, the Plain Talk Series has been co-located at PES conferences, and Plain Talk pays the catering and A/V bills for the classes (Plain Talk supplies breakfast, lunch, snacks.) Plain Talk also arranges and pays for the instructor fees and expenses and course materials. IAS would receive a percentage of the net proceeds generated by the Plain Talk courses. A sample registration form is attached. Tutorials Sponsored by Plain Talk There is also a series of Plain Talk Tutorials. Registration for these tutorials is typically handled by the conference organizers; however, it is believed that if any of these tutorials are offered, it would be best to have them co-located. A description of each is listed below. Power Quality-From Lightning to Harmonics: Problems & Solutions (Full Day) The aging power grid infrastructure and the incompatibility between today’s load characteristics and the electric power supply environment frequently give rise to poor electric power quality. This results in significant economic losses in a wide range of industries, including financial, services, health care, high tech, and process manufacturing. As an example, a decrease in the supply voltage for a fraction of a

Proposal to IAS Plain Talk Series The Plain Talk Series would be co-located at the 2011 IAS Annual Meeting. The IAS will provide room with projector/screen/flipchart/mike which can accommodate approximately 40 students classroom style, with room to set up breakfast and lunch in the back. The IAS would also provide marketing of Plain Talk on conference website and promotional materials. The PES Plain Talk Series will provide registration, instructors, course materials and certificates, CEUs, catering, reimburse A/V. The PES will also have a staffer on-site and provide marketing of the IAS Annual Meeting in Plain Talk marketing and websites. The revenue from the Plain Talk Series would be 10% of net proceeds to IAS. Plain Talk Tutorials The IAS will determine which of the Plain Talk Tutorials should be offered at the Annual Meeting. The IAS will provide rooms with projector/screen/flipchart/mike which can accommodate approximately (TBD) students, classroom style. There is no catering. Marketing of Plain Talk on conference website and promotional materials. The PES Plain Talk Series will provide registration, instructors, course materials and certificates, CEUs, reimburse A/V. Will have a staffer on-site. Marketing of IAS conference in Plain Talk marketing and websites. The revenue from the Plain Talk Series would be 10% of net proceeds to IAS.
• The Plain Talk tutorial fees have been set and need to be consistent with the GM pricing going forward. At GM the tutorial prices only break down by early bird and regular registration; I’ve added the additional categories here to reflect the conference registration pricing.
• In order to be consistent with pricing, the Plain Talk tutorials would need a separate registration from the conference registration.

2010 IEEE IAS Annual Meeting All conference loans have been repaid. The conference surplus will be $1,405.52. The audit will be performed during the summer. Even though the Houston Section did not provide a conference loan, the surplus was divided as follows: IAS – 80%, Region 5 – 10%, and Houston Section – 10%. Penalty fees The Society was assessed the following penalties at the end of the first quarter of 2011. ESMTP 2008 - $750 PCIC 2009 - $600 ESTMP 2010 - $350 2012 IEEE IAS Annual Meeting The Flamingo in Las Vegas, NV has been selected as the site for the 2012 IAS Annual Meeting. The hotel contract has been submitted to the IEEE for approval. The conference dates are October 7 – 11, 2012. The room rate is $139 per night excluding taxes and includes in-room internet access for our attendees. This rate is valid from October 6 – 12. The food and beverage guarantee is $50,000. Conference contracts I have been working with Courtesy Associates and the IEEE on contracts for both the 2011 IAS Annual Meeting and APEC 2012. ESTS 2011 This is the Electric Ship Technologies Symposium and was held in April 2011. This meeting is financially co-sponsored by IAS, PELS, PES, DEIS, VTS, OES, Sensors Council, and Systems Council. I received an email message on February 24, 2011 requesting approval of the budget. The budget did not meet the IEEE 20% surplus requirement. I requested a revised budget with a slightly larger surplus, but it still did not meet the 20% target. I finally approved the budget with the caveat that the budget for the next meeting be submitted to me one year in advance. Respectfully submitted,

Marriott Gateway, Niagara Falls, Canada IAS Transactions
The May/June 2011 issue of the IAS Transactions has been filled with 51 papers. All of the papers were delivered via export through ScholarOne Manuscripts before the manuscript due date of March 14th. Attached is a table showing the source by technical committee of the papers that will have been published or scheduled for publication in 2011 as of March 14th. This table shows the number of papers approved by each technical committee, either not yet processed or not yet received, for publication. Of these 90 papers, Carl has already received 25 papers. All of these papers have arrived via the electronic submission function of ScholarOne Manuscripts' Final Files with minor additions uploaded by Carl for papers transferred from the Magazine to the Transactions at the end of 2010.
It appears that Carl has eliminated the large backlog of received papers and is more reasonably processing papers as they arrive rather than holding them for a couple of months before he can assign them to an issue. This should help to improve one of the metrics that IEEE holds us to, submission to online publications time.
IEEE Industry Applications Magazine
The Jan/Feb, March/April and May/June issues were mailed on schedule. The page budget through the May/June issue is on track with the 2011 plan. See last bullet below. Production of the July/August issue is on schedule for on time mailing in late June. A new feature will appear in the July/August issue. To replace the Lighter Side feature, Memoirs -
stories of professional inspiration will feature a one-page story from an individual who has been recognized by peers as having made a difference in the IAS, IEEE or the engineering profession. (i.e. IEEE Fellows; IEEE, IAS, Department or committee service and achievement award recipients, or leaders in IEEE/IAS activities). Each story will describe an “aha moment” from the person’s professional experience that was significant in helping him or her be successful in their professional career.
Lanny continues to work with Lynda Bernstein to publish the IAS eNewsletter to coincide with mailing of each magazine issue. Jan/Feb and March/April eNewletters were published. The May/June eNewsletter will be issued after the Board meeting.
As noted above, the actual pages published is on target with the page budget through the May/June issue. We see no need to adjust the 2011 page budget at this time. If the Executive Board needs to publish proposed extensive changes to the Constitution and Bylaws in the magazine, then we will definitely need to adjust the budget upward to accommodate the pages needed to publish the changes.

Adoption by CIC: with great help from Dave Durocher, CIC appears to be on the verge of agreeing that they really are a part of IAS and need to use S1M.
There has been no activity by AIC. New Releases: Release 4.6 became available in early April. This release includes an enhanced
COGNOS reporting package. The unfortunate dimension of the release is the new functionality is not backward-compatible with existing COGNOS reports. Most of the reports that we use in IAS have been recreated using the V4.6 functionality. There are still a few functions that S1 has agreed are defective; the most notable is the ability to retrieve reviewer scores. S1 has promised a 'hot-fix' for that problem by the end of May.
Taiwan - S1M has always referred to Taiwan as a 'province of China' - our Taiwanese members/authors find this phrase offensive, and we were promised in late 2008 that the phrase would be removed. Unfortunately, it continues to appear in lists prepared using the 'advanced search' function, and it has returned in COGNOS report prepared under v4.6 S1 has admitted that this is a defect and has promised a resolution - soon.
Copyright transfer: Louie had an opportunity speak with Ken Rawson and Bill Hagan at the S1M user group meeting in Boston about this perpetual problem. While they agree that it is a problem, they have no solution. The copyright transfer problems (there are several) are caused by issues in both S1M and IPR's e-Copyright application. Corrections to these problems would require creation of a special version of S1M specifically for IEEE, and S1 is currently unable to support special versions of the software to meet the needs of single users. So the need for our workaround process likely will continue for the foreseeable future.
Conference submissions: So far in 2011, S1M was used very successfully to receive and process manuscripts for REPC, I&CPS and PPIC. Using the new reporting functionality, Louie created a set of reports that automatically generates Tables of Contents for conference records from data in S1M. Plans are in place to use S1M to process papers for the 2011 Annual Meeting.
LJP activities: In addition to providing day-to-day user support (deadline extensions, AE reassignments, copyright transfer tracking, checking for duplicate user accounts, solving problems for individual authors, etc), Louie attended the S1M user group meeting in Boston to continue his traditional role as 'the difficult editor' (a label originally applied by Tiffany Coker of S1 because he ask so many questions). Louie also created new reports using v4.6 COGNOS to replace existing reports used in IAS, and is working on a S1M User Group meeting/training session for the Annual Meeting in October. He has requested a two-hour time slot for this activity.
Data as of 5/11/11: Total submissions to date: 1334 Papers accepted for publication: 639 Papers rejected after review: 413 (31%) Papers rejected without review: 4 Papers currently in revision: 114 Papers still in review w/o decision: 160 Other papers: 4 Average first decision time: 98 days Average final decision time: 136 days Total users in S1M database: 4226

Lynda: This IAS Standards Department Report is for the May 15 - 16, 2011 IEEE-IAS Executive Board Meeting in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Four topics of importance are: 1. Volunteers for Standards Development from within IEEE - particularly from the user's category; During the recent I&CPS meeting held in Newport Beach, California it was confirmed that of the 13 initial Color Books only the Yellow Book, (converted to IEEE-3007 Series .1, .2, and .3) has been completed in a three year period. Lynda Bernstein did meet with the "Key Players" of the I&CPS Committee, (Carey Cook, Bob Schuerger, Dave Mills and Tom Baldwin), who informed her that they don't need administrative help from the IEEE - what they need are more volunteers. I will try one more time to at least voice/document my personal experience derived from 35 years of working both IEEE Standards Development, (multiple Standards), and National Fire Protection Administration, (NFPA), Standards Development, (National Electrical Code and Electrical Safety Standard for the Workplace). The IEEE depends on production by a dedicated group consisting of officers, (usually Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary plus many volunteers. All work on the standard unless the standard development group organizes a fund to pay for an editors time is performed by the volunteers. In contrast the NFPA depends on production by Code Making Panels, (CMP), consisting of a full time staff secretary while the CMP is in meeting, (a meeting lasts for 1 day to six days depending on the proposals for evaluation), to evaluate and resolve issues during the meetings. The only IEEE Standard, (IEEE 1584-2000 Guide for Performing an Arc Flash Hazard Calculation), for which I was involved as Vice Chair and for which the Standard Development Group raised sufficient funds to obtain an IEEE Editor was completed from PAR to Sales in two years. Other IEEE standards on which I have participated have normally required three to five years,(Some have even required additional time involving change of PAR). Today's IEEE Standards Development Groups are composed of volunteers mostly from manufacturer's and user's, both these categories are being pressed to do their own report preparation and particularly the user category has no time outside the standard development meeting to work on the standards content except his/her own time - thus very little standards development is being done between meetings during the major conferences. My position on the ability to develop standards in today's environment is that additional IEEE-Standards Association or Technical Department Operating Department support is needed - akin to that provided by NFPA. The fact that four "Key Players" in TBCC are not asking for Operating Department support mystifies me. I believe that if the Chairs for IEEE-3001, IEEE-3002, IEEE-3003, IEEE-3004, IEEE-3005 and IEEE-3006 Series were individually queried how they could speed the development of their Series they would prefer the IEEE-SA Operating Department support to complement additional volunteers. 2.a. Budget items for Standards Department; The former listing of $10,000 for IEEE-SA SCC-18/SCC-18A should be dropped. It is not normal for an IEEE Technical Department to support the IEEE-Standards Association activities.
2.b. It would better benefit the IEEE-I&CPS if this $10,000 was diverted to add to the need of the I&CPS, the PCIC, et. al. Standards Development Groups. At least 10 of such Standards Development Groups could benefit by having at least $3,000 per year to fund IEEE Operating Department support, (Standards Association or Technical Department). The total requirement for advancing 10 Standards Development Groups per year would be $30,000. Any less budget amount would require careful evaluation to determine where to place the limited amount. 3. IEEE-IAS Co-Sponsorship of IEEE P1812 Permanent Magnet Machines with PES-EM requested by Bruno Lequesne per e-mail to Lisa Yacone dated April 26, 2011. Need to determine IAS members to be involved? 4. MOU from SAE-FR for Joint Work with IEEE-IAS on Electrical Vehicle and their Infrastruture Support Standards. Remind Execboard that IEEE-SA SCC18 did previous work on the Infrastructure Support with NFPA (about 10 years ago). From: Bruce McClung, IAS Standards Department
