Outline

Introduction to the new PEL/SC TeamIntroduction to PELS StandardsStatus updateFuture Work

The New PEL/SC Officers

Director: Dr Peter Wilson– PEL/SC Secretary since 2007

Vice Chair: Prof Tsuyoshi FunakiTreasurer: Prof Liuchen ChangSecretary: Matt Wilkowski

Transition Feb/Mar 2013– New team now in place

Peter R. Wilson: introduction

25 year Engineering career: Industry & AcademiaBEng (Heriot Watt), MBA (Edinburgh), PhD (Southampton)1988-1994: Ferranti/Marconi Avionics– Aircraft Power and Control Systems

1994-1999: Analogy Inc.– Simulation and Modeling for Power Electronics,

Aerospace and Automotive applications1999-present: Southampton Uni.– Magnetics, Renewable Energy, UAVs, IC, modeling of

Aircraft electrical power systems– 80+ papers, 3 books, 6+ chapters & 1 patent

27 Active Standards Listed on IEEE SA website relating to “Power Electronics”– 10 are currently being led by PELS– The remainder are mainly IAS/PES

Some of those are co-sponsored with PELS

Coordinating through SCC-22 on a number of standards

Status Updates : P&P

PEL/SC have had new Policies and Procedures and also working group (WG) policies and procedures approved by the IEEE– December 2012

WG P&P being propagated to all PEL/SC working groups active with current activities– March 2013

Status Updates : Live Activities

– 1789 – LED dimming standard (Brad Lehman) Looking to ballot in June 2013

– 1573 - IEEE Recommended Practice for Electronic Power Subsystems: Parameters, Interfaces, Elements, and Performance (Revision: Peter Wilson) Review period completed Starting process of final revision and preparation

for ballot – summer/fall 2013

Status Updates: Live Activities

ETTC Standards (Matt Wilkowski)– 388-1992 (R2007) IEEE Standard for

Transformers and Inductors in Electronic Power Conversion Equipment Target draft to ballot March 2015

– 389-1996 (R2007) IEEE Recommended Practice for Testing Electronics Transformers and Inductors Target draft to ballot March 2015

– 393-1991 (R2007) IEEE Standard for Test Procedures for Magnetic Core Needs a champion – recruiting underway!

Future Work – Priority Areas

Review PELS standardsIdentify target areas for new standardsIntroduce TCs into process to ensure each TC has correct standards coverageStandards AwardImprove Visibility of Standards Work in PELS

1. Review Current Standards

Review Process underway– To Be Completed by Summer 2013

Ensure new P&P are being followed by working groupsLiaise with IEEE to make sure we have all the support we need for our working groups– Joan Woolery gave the new PEL/SC team a tutorial at our

meeting this weekEnsure relevant data is available on SA and PELS websites

2. Identify standard targets

Work with TCs via TC representatives on PEL/SCAlign efforts with strategy defined by PELS– Link with related strategic activities

Engage with industry to ensure standards coverage is rightWide bandgap already identified as a “hot” area worthy of investigation– devices, modules, systems and applications

Recap: 2012 Survey Results

2012.06.20 db-15

What if you search for “Smart Grid” on IEEE SA? How many active standards?

2012.06.20 db-16

76

Need Guidance and to focus our efforts: TCs have a vital

role to play in that…

3. TC reps on PEL/SC

Looking forward to receiving nominations from TCs for members to serve on PEL/SCLight load on time:– 2 physical meetings per year

APEC: Spring ECCE: Fall

– 2 more PEL/SC telecons per year Summer Winter

4. PEL/SC “Standards Award”

A new PELS-based standards awardBased on leadership in standardsNeed to formulate the criteria and nomination/selection process

Liuchen Chang has volunteered to move this process forward

Need to formulate the selection committeeHope to make the inaugural award in 2013

5. Increase Standards Visibility

Why?– Standards are a great way for industry to

engage with the society and see its direct relevance to them and their companies

How?– PEL/SC would like to suggest that we

investigate holding special sessions at APEC & ECCE in PELS Standards Activities

– Also, ensure PEL/SC meeting does not clash with TC meetings at APEC/ECCE

Will have at least one PEL/SC telecon in the summerWill also have a PEL/SC Officers telecon between now and ECCEAs PEDG is in the USA in July, may arrange a physical meeting around that week (July8-11, 2013)Will have a physical meeting at ECCE 2013 in Denver, Date TBD

Next PEL/SC Meetings
