IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Committee

IEEE Wind Plant Collector Design Working Group

 IEEE/PES
Scope: 
  • Serve as a focal point within the Power & Energy Society (PES) for addressing issues related to the design of collector systems for wind plants, including tradeoffs associated with overhead vs. underground lines, grounding, distribution equipment applications, cost and reliability tradeoffs for the unique characteristics of this energy resource, protection, reactive compensation, and SCADA application.
  • Conduct activities to promote the sharing of knowledge and experience among diverse organizations working on similar issues through the conduct of studies, symposia, workshops, paper session, panel sessions, and tutorials.
  • Publish working group papers to document results of working group activities and to share working group positions on issues related to the design of collector systems for wind plants.
