3.1.   Rolling Presentation

3.1.1. NREL IEEE 1547-2018 Resources – Michael Ingram

Presented information on and reviewed the NREL IEEE 1547-2018 Resources Website – https://www.nrel.gov/grid/ieee-standard-1547/ . The website provides educational materials, knowledge gaps analysis, and clause-by-clause summary of the standard.

Looking for publicly sourced information and looking for a list of educational resources.

It was suggested to summarize on biggest gaps to date. Priorities have been identified but filling the gaps is difficult since their isn’t much public information. Priorities include: voltage regulation, ride-through, power quality, protection,  and anti-islanding.  A whitepaper is forthcoming on voltage regulation. Modules are being developed to address other priorities.

It was also suggested that DER Developers may be a blind spot, especially regarding “Clause 11 – Evaluation and Verification.”  There is no publicly available documentation from developers.  Dave indicated that developers will follow what needs to get done.   NREL focused on stakeholders that are in the process of deciding how to implement 1547.

Mark Siira asked the members to think about this information and get back with things we can do.  SCC 21 website will be cross-linked with the NREL website.

3.2.1. Update on UL 1741 SB and timeline for rollout of IEEE Std 1547™-2018 Compliant DER (see also https://site.ieee.org/sagroups-scc21/standards/1547rev/. There will be a word update forthcoming.

3.2.2.Update on IEEE 1547.x Standards

The next meetings will be virtual due to restricted travel.  Meetings are tentatively planned for the week of October 5^th.

·                Update on P1547.2 – Work continues by subgroups in developing draft material. Progress has been good.

·                Update on P1547.3 – Developing content will continue before upcoming meeting.

·                Update on P1547.9 –  No update provided

·                Other discussion – Jens Boemer reminded all chairs to stay within the scope of PARS.  Guidance should identify what is within the scope of 1547 and what is outside the scope.

3.2.3.Update on SCC21 Energy Storage Standards

·                IEEE P1562- Is being reballoted as a Recommended Practice.

·                IEEE 1526 – No update provided.

3.2.4.Update on SCC21 Smart Grid Interoperability

·                P2030 Update – Will be looking for leadership.

·                P2030.4 Update – Has monthly meetings. Some of the content may be provided to P2030.

·                P2030.10.1 – No update.

·                2030.11 –  Jens provided that 2030.11 standard is a DERMS guide.  Transmission and distribution use a much broader definition of DER than we use in SCC 21.  Their definition includes dispersed generation to transmission and subtransmission.

Bob identified that sub-aggregators are going after smaller on transmission and subtransmission. Not relevant for DERMS on large plants.

3.3.1. Stand-Alone Systems and Grid Forming Inverters

Minutes from last meeting describe what is needed.

3.3.2. Overview of IEEE SCC21 Solar PV Standards to be transferred to IEEE PES ESSB

It was confirmed by Curtis that none of the standards pertain to grid integration.

Motion to transfer IEEE Standards 1144, 1145, 1361 and 1526 to ESSB was motioned by Curtis Ashton. Jens Boemer seconded the motion.  Motion was approved with none opposed and no abstentions at 2:51 PM EDT.

3.4.1. PAR for Electric transportation fast charging station management system functional specification

Geza, the author of the PAR was not present and the material was reviewed by Mark Siira.  This PAR needs to be evaluated with utility participation. There are a lot of unknowns. The committee is not comfortable rushing into this.   Are there any SAE standards?  Recommend IEEE ITS (intelligent transportation) as co-sponsor.   Additionally IEEE PELS and PES ESSB should be involved in an advisory Role.   Mark will schedule a coordination Call.

3.4.2. PAR for Field Calibration System for Current Carrying Capacity of Overhead Transmission Lines

T&D turned it down. They felt it was grid related.  It is outside the scope of IEEE SCC21.  Insulated conductors committee of PES may know who would be a better sponsor.

Jens motioned to reject because it is outside SCC21 scope. Curtis seconded. Motioned to reject passed at 3:13 PM EDT with no objections nor abstentions.

3.4.3.Online Meeting Guidelines from IEEE SA

Mark Siira identified that these are new guidelines for conducting online meetings.

3.4.4. PAR for P2688 – Energy Storage Management System (ESMS) draft standard. This standard is proposed for ESSB sponsorship with suggestion that SCC21 be brought on as secondary sponsor.

Curtis motioned to put SCC21 as co-sponsor.  Jens seconded.  Motion approved at 2:57 PM EDT with no objections nor abstentions. (See attached

3.4.5. PAR proposal “Guide for Electrochemical Energy Storage System Participating Frequency Control of Power Grid.” – We reviewed this last year. This was brought up by Mike Kipness and will be put on the agenda for the August 28th meeting. PAR and Power Power Point slides entitled “Guide for Electrochemical Energy Storage System Participating Frequency Control of Power Grid” can be found in IMeetCentral (Members only)

3.1.   Rolling Presentation

·        NERC FFR Report by Ryan Quint, Senior Manager, BPS Security and Grid Transformation, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (New Role on Grid Transformation LEAD at NERC)

Fast Frequency Response issue is dependent on :

·        Contingency defined for each system

·        Performance Time

·        Size and scale of system

Frequency is a Reliability Indicator

In Texas critical inertia can be decreased if inverter effort overcome synchronous inertia.  ERCOT is pushing to use FFR to overcome lower MW of synchronous generators in the region as compared to other regions. FFR is not needed in the east because of the large number of synchronous generators.

3.1.2.       Standards Roadmap –

Mark introduced a draft format for showing the timeline of standards projects for IEEE SCC21.

Dave suggested we develop criteria for developing a PAR.    Mark agreed and indicated that the charts presented contemplate: 1. IEEE Required timing (10 years) and 2. Market forces and gaps. Perhaps a third could be availability of key participants or leaders.

Mark would also like to track new issues that need to be evaluated for standards.

3.2.1.Update on IEEE 1547.x Standards

·                Update on P1547a Amendment – Approved March 9^th, Publication staff is finalizing document before publication.

3.4.1.Approve PAR for P2030 revision jointly sponsored with PES/PSCC

·        Mark introduces basic information of the PAR. Not a major rewrite but an update to the interoperability model.

·        Bob – 2030.11 being very careful for interpretation will work with DERMS.  Need to leave this PAR wide open.

·        Chris – DERMS is complete energy management system. Energy storage system included

·        Siira has a 2030 base standard 1 hour presentation that he will make available.

·        Smart Grid – New term is Integrated Grid. Tony said that a lot of work would have to be done to get the term changed. But he proposes to get it started.  To change title needs to revise PAR.

·        Open to rethinking to change the term.

·        The PAR is approved at 2:57 PM – No abstentions and no negative votes.

3.4.2. Approve Ballot for P2030.10.1 –  Mark has not seen any draft material for review of IEEE P2030.10.1.   When it is submitted to SCC21 the following will review: Ben , Crystel  and Curtis
