IEEE PES Power System Planning & Implementation (PSPI) Committee
· Mission statement
The Power System Planning & Implementation Committee investigates issues relating to forecasting, decision-making, finance, economics, and environment as applied to planning and justification of new generation, transmission, distribution, and customer-side programs and policies, and engineering applied methods and practices required to assure systems are implemented as projected. It also initiates and coordinates studies, symposia, panel discussions and tutorials related to the subjects.
· The Committee operates through five Working Groups:
o Energy Supply – Chair: Joseph Yan* , Southern California Edison
o Transmission – Chair: Mike Henderson, ISO-New England
o Distribution – Chair: Luis (Nando) Ochoa; Vice Chair: Robert Saint; Secretary: Julio Romero Aguero
o Asset Management – Chair: Tony McGrail, National Grid
o Customer Services – Chair: G. Heber Weller, SAIC
*: subject to Committee approval at GM11.
