Substation Transformer Standard Approved

PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY - 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.

BC Hydro electricity demand down 10% amid COVID-19 pandemic

VANCOUVER - Elecricity demand is down 10 per cent across British Columbia, an unprecedented decline sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a BC Hydro report.

Power demand across hotels, offices, recreational facilities and restaurants have dwindled as British Columbians self isolate.

The shortfall means there's a surplus of water in reservoirs across the province.

"This drop in load in addition to the spring snow melt is causing our reservoirs to reach near capacity, which could lead to environmental concerns, as well as public safety risks if we don't address the challenges now," said spokesperson Tanya Fish.

Crews will have to strategically spill reservoirs…
