Substation Transformer Standard Approved

subscribe

The IEEE has approved IEEE C57.12.36, Standard Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution Substation Transformers, which covers selected electrical, dimensional and mechanical characteristics of these transformers.

It clarifies requirements for this class of transformers by combining selected distribution requirements from IEEE C57.12.34 and selected product specifications from IEEE C57.12.10 so users and manufacturers have a single location for all requirements.

The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open process that brings diverse parts of industry together.

These standards set specifications and procedures based on current scientific and technological consensus. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of over 870 active standards and more than 400 standards under development.

WASHINGTON - Capacity markets may or may not be functioning properly, but FERC can't adequately make that determination, according to the GAO report.

"Available information on the level of resource adequacy ... and related costs in regions with and without capacity markets is not comprehensive or consistent," the report found. "Moreover, consistent data on historical trends in resource adequacy and related costs are not available for regions without capacity markets."

The review concluded that FERC collects some useful information in regions with and without capacity markets, but GAO said it "identified problems with data quality, such as inconsistent data."

GAO included three recommendations, including…
