IEEE developing new standards for shipboard installations

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.

USAID Delivers Mobile Gas Turbine Power Plant to Ukraine

KYIV - Deputy U.S. Administrator Isobel Coleman announced during her visit to Kyiv that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided the Government of Ukraine with a mobile gas turbine power plant purchased from General Electric (GE).

The mobile power plant was manufactured in the United States by GE’s Gas Power business and has a total output capacity of approximately 28MW, which is enough to provide the equivalent electricity to at least 100,000 homes. This will help Ukraine increase the supply of electricity to homes, hospitals, schools, critical infrastructure providers, and other institutions. The mobile power plant can be…
