New IEEE standards for power & energy substations coming
The new standard will incorporate knowledge gained from new TCSC installations and operation experiences during the past five years.
IEEE has also begun work to revise IEEE P837, "Standard for Qualifying Permanent Connections Used in Substation Grounding." This standard will fill a need for standardization of terminology and test requirements for permanent grounding connections.
The revision will include new EMF test specifications and requirements for above grade (ground grid to structure) connections. The standard will help assure users that connections meeting the requirements of this standard will perform in a satisfactory manner over the lifetime of the installation, provided that the proper connection is selected for the application and that the connection is installed correctly.
IEEE also approved a revision to IEEE C37.2, "Standard Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms and Contact Designations."
Two addition standards were reaffirmed: IEEE C37.123, "IEEE Guide to Specifications for Gas-Insulated, Electric Power Substation Equipment" and IEEE C37.122.1, "IEEE Guide for Gas-Insulated Substations."

Ambitious clean energy target will mean lower electricity prices, modelling says
LONDON - The more ambitious a clean energy target is, the lower Australian wholesale electricity prices will be, according to new modelling by energy analysis firm RepuTex.
The Finkel review, released last month recommended the government introduce a clean energy target (CET), which it found would cut emissions from the national electricity market and put downward pressure on both wholesale and retail prices.
The Finkel review only modelled a CET that would cut emissions from the electricity sector by 28% below 2005 levels by 2030. But all available analysis has demonstrated that such a cut would not be enough to…
