Working Groups and Task Forces of the Capacitor Subcommittee:
Shunt Capacitor Standard Working Group
Chair: Xuan Wu, AES
Phone: 614-933-2665 / e-mail: xuan.wu@aes.com
The latest published version of the Standard for Shunt Power Capacitors is IEEE 18-2012. The Working Group has reformed to undertake the next revision of the standard (P18). This standard applies to capacitors rated 216 V or higher, 2.5 kvar or more, and designed for shunt connection to ac transmission and distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Service conditions, ratings, manufacturing and testing are covered. The 2002 revision added significant new requirements for units applied in fuseless and internally fused capacitor banks.
Shunt Capacitor Application Guide Working Group
Chair: William A. Munn, Southern Company Services
Phone: 205-807-4654 / e-mail: wamunn@southernco.com
The latest published version of the Guide for the Application of Shunt Power Capacitors is IEEE 1036-2020. The Working Group has reformed to undertake the next revision of the standard (P1036). This guide applies to the use of 50 and 60 Hz shunt power capacitors rated 2400 Vac and above, and assemblies of capacitors. Included are guidelines for the application, protection, and ratings of equipment for the safe and reliable utilization of shunt power capacitors. The guide covers applications that range from simple unit utilization to complex bank situations. The Working Group added guidelines for the application of fuseless and internally fused capacitor banks.
Series Capacitor Standard Working Group
Chair: Biswajit Singh, NKT
Phone: +46 730 709960 / e-mail: biswajit.singh@nkt.com
The Working Group undertake the next revision of the standard (P824), Standard for Series Capacitors. This standard applies to capacitors and assemblies of capacitors, insulation means, switching, protective equipment, and control accessories that form a complete bank for inserting in series with a transmission line. Included are requirements for safety, rating, and protective device levels. Functional requirements for alarm devices, maintenance, design and production tests, and a guide for operation are included. Functional requirements for protective devices are addressed, including varistors and bypass gaps.
The Working Group wrote a paper that was published in 2001 regarding the application of series capacitors on distribution systems: Considerations for the Application of Series Capacitors to Radial Power Distribution Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, Volume: 16, Issue: 2, April 2001, Pages: 306-318.
Series Capacitor Application Guide Working Group
Chair: Biswajit Singh, NKT
Phone: +46 730 709960 / e-mail: biswajit.singh@nkt.com
The Working Group has completed work on IEEE 1726-2013 “Guide for the Specification of Fixed Series Capacitor Banks for Transmission System Applications.“ This document includes a complete list of equipment, systems and engineering studies necessary to tender a series capacitor bank from a supplier. The format is intended to streamline the design and bid process.
This Working Group works on the next revision of the IEEE Guide for the Specification of Fixed Transmission Series Capacitor Banks (P1726).
Harmonic Filter Working Group
Chair: Jan Paramalingam, POWER Engineers, Inc.
Phone: 724-779-1637 / e-mail: jan.paramalingam@powereng.com
The latest published version of the Guide for Application and Specification of Harmonic Filters is IEEE 1531-2020. The Working Group has reformed to undertake the latest revision of the standard. This guide addresses the selection of the (1) components, (2) protection, and (3) control of harmonic filters. It does not address the engineering required to establish the proper size and configuration of harmonic filters to achieve desired performance. This document provides guidelines for passive shunt harmonic filters for use on 50 Hz and 60 Hz rated 216 volts and above power systems to reduce harmonic distortion on the system(s). No specific standards exist for harmonic filters, although standards do exist for most of the components that are used in a filter. This guide references standards where they exist and gives typical criteria where appropriate standards do not exist.
Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor Working Group
Chair: Duane Torgerson, Winfield Enterprise, LLC
Phone: 303-202-3933 / e-mail: torgerson@ieee.org
This Working Group is currently not active. This was a joint Working Group with the High Voltage Power Electronics Stations Subcommittee of the Substations Committee. The Working Group developed IEEE 1534-2002, Recommended Practice for Specifying Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors. The document addresses issues that consider ratings for TCSC thyristor valve assemblies, capacitors and reactors as well as TCSC control characteristics, protective features, cooling systems, testing, commissioning, training, documentation, operation, and maintenance. Excluded from this document are detailed TCSC modeling considerations.
Capacitor Technical Paper Working Group
Chair: Open
e-mail: TBC
This Working Group is responsible for the technical review of papers submitted for IEEE publication which are related to the economics, technical design, theoretical and experimental performance, installation, application and service operation of power capacitors.
The technical papers that are reviewed are published in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery. The papers are submitted and reviewed using an on-line paper publication system. For a demonstration of how the paper submittal and review process works, download this Adobe Acrobat tutorial (1.62MB). There is new resource site for IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery (PWRD).
Capacitor Bibliography Working Group
Chair: Richard Sévigny, Hydro-Québec
Phone: 514-840-3000 / e-mail: sevigny.richard.2@hydroquebec.com
This Working Group is responsible for compiling a listing of all pertinent publications and articles related to the economics, technical design theoretical and experimental performance, installation, application and service operation of power capacitors. The most current bibliographies are the Bibliography on Shunt Power Capacitors, and the Bibliography on Series Power Capacitors. These two bibliographies were previously available in the IEEE Power Capacitor Standards Collection.
