IEEE developing new standards for shipboard 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.

Tesla Electric is preparing to expand in the UK
LONDON - According to a new job posting, Tesla Electric, Tesla’s new electric utility division, is preparing to expand in the United Kingdom.
Late last year, after gaining experience through its virtual power plants (VPPs), Tesla took things a step further with the launch of “Tesla Electric.”
Instead of reacting to specific “events” and providing services to your local electric utilities, as Tesla Powerwall owners have done in VPPs in California, Tesla Electric is actively and automatically buying and selling electricity for Tesla Powerwall owners – providing a buffer against peak prices.
The company is essentially becoming an energy retailer.
Tesla Electric is currently…
