IEEE developing new standards for shipboard installations

PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY - The IEEE has begun work to develop six new recommended practice standards for shipboard electrical installations.

The new standards will build upon, and are intended to be used in conjunction with, IEEE 45, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard." The standards projects will address new shipboard technologies and provide a consensus of recommended practices for design in marine electrical engineering as applied specifically to ships, shipboard systems, and equipment.

The new standards projects are:

IEEE P45.1, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Design"

IEEE P45.2, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Controls and Automation"

IEEE P45.3, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Systems Integration"

IEEE P45.4, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Marine Sectors and Mission Systems"

IEEE P45.5, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Safety Considerations"

IEEE P45.6, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Electrical Testing"

The standards are being developed by the IEEE Working Group for Electrical Installations on Shipboards, and sponsored by the IEEE Industry Applications Society's Petroleum & Chemical Industry Committee.

IEA: Electricity investment surpasses oil and gas for the first time

LONDON - Investments in electricity surpassed those in oil and gas for the first time ever in 2016 on a spending splurge on renewable energy and power grids as the fall in crude prices led to deep cuts, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said.

Total energy investment fell for the second straight year by 12 per cent to US$1.7 trillion compared with 2015, the IEA said. Oil and gas investments plunged 26 per cent to US$650 billion, down by over a quarter in 2016, and electricity generation slipped 5 per cent.

"This decline (in energy investment) is attributed to two…
