4. The following reports on the working groups were discussed informally and are summarized below:
v Equipment Reliability Working Group – Chaired by Bob Arno
The Equipment Reliability Working Group meeting was held in the Adams Room (8 a.m. - 9 a.m.)· Data limitations issue for a description of limitations of the data. Chapter 10 and appendix.
· New Study in works for standby issues on equipment.
· How to do an analysis in Chapter 2/ review chapter 4 for content and decide if there is sufficient information on concepts to do an analysis? Simple discussion indicates that the information is already in there, no issue. Comments please!!!!
· Book designed to address plant engineer issues on their system.
· Everyone to look at the definitions and comment! This is a major issue which is the foundation of the book.
· FEMCA example to be included in Chapter 2
· A section on “How to approach a Reliability Analysis?” will be presented in Chapter 2
· Bob Arno announced the Brian Roczen will be the chairman of Chapter 2
· Bob Arno, chairman of a new Chapter (i.e., Chapter 11) entitled: “Standard Data Collection Techniques” announced that the chapter is complete and available for review on the web.
· A published paper containing detail equipment reliability data will be placed in the appendix.
Reliability Analysis Working Group Meeting - Chaired by Don Koval
The Reliability Analysis Working Group meeting was held in the Adams Room ( 9 a.m.- 10 a.m.).· Include the Gold Book Standard Network configuration and it reliability data and results from different published papers in Chapter 3 Planning and Design.
· Examples of Reliability Analysis data will use Chapter 10 reliability data provided by Bob Arno.
v
v Voltage Sag Working Group Meeting – Chaired by Bill Brumsickle
· The Voltage Sag Working Group meeting was held in the Adams Room (10 a.m. - 11 a.m.)· Include a discussion of equipment damage due to voltage sags.
· Include survey data in appendices.
· Discuss where other relevant discussions are contained in published standards.
· Add to SLG fault example.
· Add equipment susceptibility curves from EPRI-PEAC, if allowed, as appendix.
· Refer to Emerald Book (P1100) for solutions.
· Add ITI/CBEMA , F47 curve to chapter.
· Add monitoring data – I-Grid, CEA EPRI DPQ, DPQII, and NPL voltage sag data if possible.
· Elaborate on how to count sag events.
· Spencer Tacke of Modesto Irrigation District indicated that he would provide data on the number of permanent distribution line faults per mile and the frequency of three phase, single line to ground and line to line faults that occur on three phase distribution systems. Don Koval also indicated that he will try and get similar data from Seattle Light and Power for Chapter 7.
5. The Gold Book Working group defined a new time line for completion of the next edition of the Gold Book as follows:
SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF THE NEXT EDITION OF THE GOLD BOOKCRITICAL DATES / CONFERENCE
LOCATION / ACTIONS REQUIRED
Jan 31, 2005 / Final Drafts of Chapters to Bill Braun to put up on IEEE Gold Book Website for review by individual members of the Gold Book Working Group.
