1. Approval of 2002 SM meeting minutes.

No objections or corrections were heard to the 2002 SM minutes. The minutes stand as they are.

2. Progress report on tasks identified in SM’02 meeting.

Members of the Task Force reported the progress on the following items:

·  Yilu and Gary: Gary reported that the harmonic source modeling paper was resubmitted.

·  Wilsun: Progress on IEEE special publication - Selected Readings for Power System Harmonic Analysis. (Contributors: Satish, Gary, Wilsun, Tom, Paulo, Constantine, Aurelio); Gary reported on behalf of Wilsun and he said that the work has been submitted for approval.

·  Aurelio and Constantine: Interaction of power system harmonics with protective equipment. Reuben indicated that he would like to have a contribution on this subject. Gary suggested him to contact Aurelio and Constantine to work on the subject.

·  Wilsun: Analysis of systems with distributed harmonic sources. Fayyaz indicated that he would like to have a contribution on this subject. Gary suggested him to contact Wilsun for details.

·  Fayyaz: System-equivalents guidelines for applications. Fayyaz gave a presentation on how the paper is organized. He passed a copy of the outline to TF members (see attachment II) for more feedbacks.

·  Gary: Planning of panel session on Methodology for Harmonics Modeling & Simulation in 2003 PES General Meeting; Gary said that this panel session gives the status, future directions for harmonic analysis, and a review of techniques for harmonics modeling and simulation in frequency domain, time domain, or hybrid time and frequency domains. The topics and the designated speakers are as follows:

(1) Status and Future Directions of Power System Harmonic Analysis-Wilsun Xu,

(2) Modeling of Linear Components for Harmonic Studies (based on the most recently accepted paper)-Constantine Hatziadoniu,

(3) Modeling of Nonlinear Components for Harmonic Studies (including modeling of power electronic components)-Gary Chang and Yilu Liu,

(4) Harmonic Simulation Techniques (Methods & Algorithms)-Aurelio Medina,

(5) Issues Related to Interharmonics-Alfredo Testa,

(6) Harmonic Modeling & Simulation Requirements for the Revised IEEE Standard 519-1992 -Mark Halpin.

3. The meeting was adjourned at 5:10 PM.
