This guide specifies the requirement and testing methods for the pantograph off-line, covering the aspects of the mechanics, optics, electro-magnetics, and acoustics. Principles of the data interpretation are also included. In addition, models for the arcing erosion, as well as the off-line induced overvoltage and harmonics, which impact the onsite devices' safety, are included.
This recommended practice describes implementation and management approaches and methods for enterprise implementation of Software Based Intelligent Process Automation (SBIPA) technologies (commonly known as IPA). The recommended practice includes the exploration of technology capabilities, development of strategy, product evaluation, platform implementation, along with management and governance for service providers and end users.
This guide is primarily concerned with the collector systems grounding for wind power plants. This guide is not intended for the wind power plant substation, however since the substation is typically interconnected with the collector system, its design might affect or be affected by the collector system. With proper caution, the methods described herein could be used in determining the impact of the collector system on substation safety and vice versa. Quantitative analysis of the effects of… read more lightning surges is beyond the scope of this document. Similarly, this guide does not cover off-shore wind power plants, solar power plants or substation grounding. read less
This guide indicates the configuration parameters for arcing horns of direct current (dc) earth electrode lines, including sustained dc arc current, composition, installation, and gap distance of arcing horns. This guide applies to the configuration of arcing horns of dc earth electrode lines (hereafter referred to as arcing horns) for new or reconstructed dc transmission projects.
This recommended practice defines the principles and procedures for start-up, normal operation, shutdown, daily operation, and maintenance during normal and emergency conditions for a 300 MW to 600 MW pulverized coal-fired boiler and its main auxiliary equipment. This recommended practice applies to 300 MW to 600 MW pulverized coal-fired boilers with a balanced draft, including natural circulation and forced circulation; subcritical and supercritical once-through boilers; tangential-fired… read more boilers; opposed-fired boilers; and so on. For specific applications, an additional document needs to be formulated by users based on this recommended practice to cover detailed procedures or normally so-called "operation code," together with the instructions of manufacturers and the experiences derived from normal operation practice. read less
This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for ground-mount photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants (SPPs) that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80. This guide is not intended for the substations to interconnect the solar plant; however, if the substation is included within the plant, portions of this guide may be applicable. Similarly, this guide… read more does not directly cover small-scale SPPs (such as rooftop type systems), substation grounding, or lightning protection. read less
This guide defines main assessment methods for geological hazards along and around transmission corridors that threaten transmission lines. This guide mainly covers patrol of corridors, geological survey, monitoring and early warning of geological hazards and geological stability assessment for overhead transmission lines. This guide is applicable to the assessment of geological stability of overhead transmission lines at survey and design, project handover and acceptance, operation and… read more maintenance or other stages. The geological hazards included in this guide are landslides, rockfalls, debris flow, and land subsidence. Geological stability assessment for transmission corridors in tundra is not covered by this guide. read less
This standard defines and describes the technical requirements, tests, inspection rules, sign, and package of insulation-piercing connectors (IPCs) used in aerial insulated cable lines, bridges and culverts, galleries, tunnels, mines, cable wells, etc., for rated voltages up to 12 kV.
This guide provides guidelines for the application of quick response systems of customer-side loads for utility operators in modern power grids. The definitions, classification, and characteristics of rapid load response resources are elaborated. It provides complementary approaches for mitigating frequency stability issues of bulk power systems, and preventing power systems from quick frequency drops in emergency. Typical architecture, system implementation, testing, and commissioning for… read more quick response systems of customer-side loads are explored in this guide. read less
