| Description:
Treatment of all
matters relating to data acquired within substations and its processing
for monitoring, analysis, and local and/or remote control of substation
apparatus and devices connected to the substation. Systems within the
purview of this subcommittee include: interfaces to substation
apparatus, use of transducers, and all types of communication media.
These systems also use high-security communication protocols, computers
with associated peripherals, video display units, printing and logging
devices, software and/or firmware in order to perform their allocated
functions.
Also, responsible for the quality of data originating in the substation
that is subsequently used for monitoring, analysis, and control of the
power system. Sponsor and promote the use of new technologies (e.g.,
fiber optics, etc.) and new standards for integrating the functions of
monitoring, analysis, control, protection, maintenance and operation of
substation and feeder apparatus. Since responsibilities for standards
applicable to stand-alone equipment (e.g., protective relays, automatic
tap changers, etc.) reside with the respective equipment committee,
close coordination shall be accomplished on all standards activities as
defined in the applicable Project Authorization Request. Consideration
of phenomena typical of substation environments that can adversely
affect digital computer-based data acquisition, processing, and
control systems; and prepare guidelines or standards as appropriate.
