Study Committee B3 - OrganizationStudy Committee B3 - Organization

SC B3 comprises three Advisory Groups which support the Chairman, make recommendations and motivate

decisions:

• a Strategic Advisory Group,

• a Customer Advisory Group,

• a Tutorial Advisory Group ,

The organisation scheme is now based on five Advisory Areas animated by five Area Advisors. They assist the

Chairman:

• to coordinate the present activities of the working groups within their Advisory Area,

• to propose future technical activities of the SC.

• The Area Advisors are members of the Strategic Advisory Group.

All the SC B3 working groups have Terms of Reference fulfilling the requirements of the new study committee

reference model.

Apart from these groups SC B3 has, jointly with the study committees A3 and B5, a Co-operation Group acting

as an advisory group on topics related to two or even three study committee scopes

WG B3.11 - Combining Innovation with Standardisation (Convener: John Finn - UK)

Objective: To investigate benefits of innovative (new technologies and arrangements) and conservative (proved

standardized designs) approaches and to try to find ways in which the benefits of these two apparently contradictory philosophies can be combined for future,

Identification of benefits from innovation and benefits from standardization (questionnaire), Analysis of commonality and conflict between the two philosophies Recommendation on combination of the two philosophies and on methods for dealing with the perceived

conflicts.• Analysis of the areas of commonality and conflict between the two philosophies• Recommend ways in which the benefits of both approaches may be combined and methods for dealing with

the perceived conflicts.• Disseminate the results through a report and/or papers and through presentation during relevant events

Activities:• An ELECTRA report has been published in the October 2006 issue.• A questionnaire has been prepared and issued in November 2006. Replies have been collected and they are

being analysed.• Combining Innovation with Standardization – brochure – December 2008,

WG B3.12 - Obtaining Value from Substation Condition Monitoring (Convener: Arthur J Mackrell - UK)

Objective: Identify available condition monitoring devices, detail benefits claimed for these, identify factors to be

considered in answering the question ‘will this device be cost-effective?’, derive algorithms to facilitate

decision and what aspects of condition monitoring will provide real benefits Investigate condition monitoring systems currently available (stand alone as well as integrated in

protection and control systems) and analyze factors for optimum solution for an individual utility,

• Attempt to derive an algorithm combining the various factors to assist utilities in making the decision on

which aspects of condition monitoring will provide real benefits as opposed to those which simply can be

monitored.

• Disseminate the results through a report and/or paper(s) and through presentation during relevant events

Activities:

• A final questionnaire which was sent out in 2007, analysis of the responses completed. Meetings in

Berlin (Sept 2007) and Phoenix (Feb 2008) led to finalising main chapters and completion of

questionnaire analysis. Last meeting in Paris (Aug 2008) discussed the “value” concept as applied to the

final report.

2009 and brochure in late 2010.
