Consent Agenda

201 OD Motion Nelms/Meetings Motion to approve a conference loan of $10,000 to the 2013 I&CPS Conference -passed electronically March 2013

202 EC Motion Oertli/ECC I move that the Board approve the cost of $249 to develop an iPhone and Android Application for the conference. This Application would be developed using the KitApps.com third party software. The App would provide attendees access to conference maps, schedules, supporters, speakers, and other important information.

203 OD Motion Nelms/Meetings Department

Motion to approve a conference loan of $12,000 CDN for the 2014 Electrical Safety, Technical & Mega-Project Workshop to be held 3-5 March 2014 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Background: The budget has been reviewed and approved

as it meets the 20% surplus requirement. Both the IEEE Canada Southern and Northern Alberta Sections are supplying a loan of $3,000 CDN.

204 OD Motion Nelms/Meetings Department

Motion to approve technical co-sponsorship of the 2014 IET 7th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines & Drives (PEMD) and PEMD to be held 08-Apr-2014 to 10-Apr-2014, in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Background: This conference is held in even years, and the IAS has been a technical co-sponsor since 2006. PELS and IES are also technical co-sponsors. The MOU was developed using the new conference system and does not contain the standard IAS limit on the number of papers eligible for review. For the previous conferences, the MOU has contained this limit. However, the list of papers eligible for review has never been forwarded to the IAS meetings Department Chair.

205 Motion Nelms/Meetings Department

Motion to approve technical co-sponsorship of the 2014 International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG) to be held 23-25 April 2014 in Taipei, Taiwan. Background: The sole financial sponsor for this conference is National Taiwan University of Science and Technology – NTUST. Other technical co-sponsors are the IEEE Taipei Section, IAS Taipei Chapter and PELS/IE Joint Taipei Chapter. An MOU has already been signed between these sponsors. If the IAS

Executive Board approves IAS technical co-sponsorship, an addendum to the MOU will be prepared.

206 Motion Nelms/Meetings Dept.

Motion to approve 100% financial sponsorship of the 2014 IEEE International Symposium on Sensorless Control for Electrical Drives to be held 17-18 May 2014 in Hiroshima, Japan. Background: The IAS is 100% financial sponsor for this meeting in even years, with PELS being a technical co-sponsor. The Industrial Power Conversion Systems Department and the Industrial Drives Committee have approved this venue. The conference contact person is Prof. Takashi Kosaka, Nagoya Institute of Technology.

207 OD Motion Nelms/Meetings Dept.

Motion to approve technical co-sponsorship of the Workshop on Power Electronics and Power Quality Applications to be held 6-7 July 2013 in Bogota, Colombia pending approval of an MOU. Background: The next meeting of the IAS Executive Board will be held in conjunction with this conference organized by the local IAS student. Because of the unknown quality of this conference, it is the recommendation of the Meetings Department that papers from this conference not be eligible for the IAS Magazine or Transactions.

208 OD Motion Nelms/Meetings Motion to approve technical co-sponsorship of the 2013 International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications to be held

20 – 23 October 2013 in Madrid, Spain pending approval of an MOU by all parties. Background: The IAS was technical co-sponsor of this conference in 2012. PELS and IES are also being asked to be technical co-sponsors. The sole financial sponsor is the International Journal of Renewable Energy Research. The proposed MOU will not contain the standard IAS paper limit. Only 8 papers from the 2012 conference were referred for review for publication in the IAS Transactions or Magazine. A conference author may submit their paper to one of four journals.

209 OD Motion Rubaai/Publications Motion

The Publications Department forwards a motion to increase the 2013/2014 page budgets to at least 50 papers per issue for IAS Transactions.

Background

The allotted page budget for the year amounts to about 35 papers per issue which exceeds the number of approved papers that the EiC has already received. In addition, the EiC is now receiving additional approved papers at an increased rate that ensures that he is not even able to keep up with the influx. Hence, the Publications Department is proposing that the page budget be increased to at least 50 papers per issue for the rest of the year. We suspect that this will also have to be maintained into 2014. This

will require the Board's approval since it will affect budget to finance the production of the additional pages, but in the long run results in additional income to the Society.

210 OD Motion Halpin/Standards To organize and financially support with up to $50k/year a three-year series of workshops focusing on dc power systems and standards

• Speakers may be invited with travel costs covered

• Locations TBD but in easily accessible (major airports) locations

• Topics broadly include generation, storage, distribution, and utilization

211 OD Motion Halpin/Standards Motion to approve the IEEE Standards Association Policies and Procedures documents for all IAS Technical Committees involved in Standards Development

Background:

• These documents have already been accepted and approved by the IEEE SA Audit Committee (March 2013)

• All IAS TCs except PCIC have the same P&P; PCIC developed and submitted their own P&P

• Cement, Electric

Machines, Energy Systems, Power System Protection, Power System Engineering, and Technical Books Coordinating committees (plus PCIC)

• All approved P&P documents are posted on the SA website

DC Task Team

Activities of Team Input from 34 members Working meetings at ICPS and IAS Intensive investigation of work by others Outline of technical areas for attention Outline of future standards or additions to

standards Recommended actions - ICPS and IAS Recommend long term commitments

Background

A Century Ago: • DC had limited top voltage • AC replaced DC with high voltage & long transmission • AC/DC and DC/AC conversion was not easy Half a Century Ago: • Solid state devices made AC/DC and DC/AC easier • Devices reached high voltage and current levels

Status Today

• Escalating use of DC • Wide variations in design and practice • Many semi-independent contenders • Limited communication, coordination • Lack of clearly established practices,

standards • Scattered research, papers

ICPS Considerations

• Primary power sources will be AC • Use of DC will be driven by economics

• Lower capital cost • Smaller footprint • Energy savings

• Conversion to DC usually at customer’s site

ICPS Design

• Guidelines for AC not directly applicable for DC

• Need “accepted best practices” • Patterned on Color Books™, IEEE 3000™ • or Addendum to IEEE 3000™

• But there are no “accepted practices”

Equipment Data Needs

• What are the loads? What are their characteristics?

• Motors, Drives, Lighting, Process, Etc.

• What equipment is available? • Conversion Equipment (transformers),

Conductors, Relays, Breakers, Fuses, Terminations, Etc.

Design Needs

• What are the preferred voltages? • 24?, 50?, 240?, 380?, 600?, 1000?, 5000? Other?

• How should the system be grounded – or should it be? • How should equipment be connected to earth/ground? • How should emergency and standby power be integrated?

Safety! Safety! Safety!

Calculations

Software firms now offer DC as well AC calculations

HOWEVER, THERE ARE SERIOUS LIMITATIONS • Available Short Circuit Current poorly defined • Paucity of manufacturers’ data, e.g.

• Breaker, switch performance • Relay characteristics

• Concerns regarding safety-related calcs

Maintenance Operations Safety

Too much to cover

in one slide

Codes & Standards • Of prime importance

• Harmonize all standards

• Too much to cover in one slide

RECOMMENDED INITIAL ACTIONS BY ICPS

• Position Paper immediately • Modest ICPS tasks • Several Working Groups • Enhanced Communication

• White papers, chat groups, webinars, formal papers, etc.

12

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS WITH OTHER SOCIETIES

ICPS will work diligently with others • All IAS Societies • Entities outside IEEE

13

RECOMMENDED LONG TERM ACTIONS BY IAS

• Position at Board level to coordinate IAS activities

• Develop a position paper • Sponsor coordination at the IEEE

About the IEEE Foundation Established by IEEE in 1973 as a US public charity Governed by laws of State of NY

Board of 12 Transnational Directors Dedicated to providing philanthropic services in support of IEEE

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Established in 1973 during the short time IEEE was a 501(c)(6) organization. IEEE Foundation is classified by the US IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity (as is IEEE). In 2013 – we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary. Incorporated in State of NY and governed by a Board of 12 with transnational representation from Regions 8, 9 and 10. In addition, has ex-officio (non-voting) members from IEEE Canadian Foundation, IEEE History Committee, IEEE Awards Board, IEEE-HKN, and IEEE Life Members Committee Primary role is to provide philanthropic services in support of IEEE (next slide shows how we do this)

IEEE Foundation breaks down the donor dollars entrusted to it to support IEEE into the four primary philanthropic areas listed here Funds can be set up to 1) receive annual support, 2) be spent to deplete for an unspecified time, 3) serve as a term endowments for a specific amount of time, 4) be a quasi-endowment (last long time) or permanent endowment Grantmaking = IEEE Foundation General, Life Members, Humanitarian Technology, Haiti, Pakistan, and IEEE Community Solution Initiative for Affordable Energy Funds Education = Scholarships, fellowships, student travel grant programs bestowed by IEEE and its many units (3 of 4 IAS funds here) Historical Preservation = History Center Funds and a small fund that helps to maintain the Glenlair House (home of James Clerk Maxwell) Peer Recognition = Awards presented by IEEE and its many units (many of which are partially or fully endowed – thus the large balance)

Ways to Give IEEE Dues Renewal Online giving – ieee.org/donate Corporate Matching Gifts Tribute Giving Appreciated Securities Cash prize/honorarium Legacy Giving – Bequest in Will or Trust – Name as beneficiary of retirement

plan or life insurance

Presenter
Presentation Notes
There are a number of different ways that a gift can be given to the IEEE Foundation. Most members give through their dues renewal – there is an option to give to 9 different funds Online giving is an secure online system that offers an alternative to giving through the dues renewal and/or IEEE shop Corporate matching gifts allows a donor to have their gift doubled by their employer. Donors should check with their HR dept to find out if there company matches gifts. List of companies known to match to the IEEE Foundation is available on our website Tribute gifts are given in honor or memory someone special. This coming Mother’s and/or Father’s Day, consider asking your family to make a gift in your honor to the IEEE Foundation instead of giving you another gift you don’t need Appreciated Securities are gifts of appreciated marketable stocks, bonds, mutual funds. Some donors find that this type of gifts provides a tax advantages over cash. Development Office would be happy to help explain the pros and cons Cash prize/honorarium gifts are when a donor directs all or a portion of the cash prize/honorarium/stipend they receive from winning a peer recognition award, speaking at a conference, participating in a panel, etc. The donor does not receive a tax deduction for this type of gift, but they also don’t receive the taxable income. Legacy Giving - Bequest in will or trust and naming as beneficiary of retirement plan or life insurance are all ways to include the IEEE/IEEE Foundation in your estate plans. Gifts of this type provide the critical resources needed to support the next generation of engineers and make you eligible to join the IEEE Goldsmith Legacy League – elite planned giving donor recognition of the IEEE Foundation

Ways Donors are Recognized

9

• Advocates Association (US$100 to $999)

• Leadership Association (US$1,000 or more)

Annual Giving

• IEEE Goldsmith Legacy League Forever Generous

Planned Giving

• IEEE Heritage Circle Honored Philanthropists

Cumulative Giving

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Every donor who makes a gift to the IEEE Foundation makes a difference. The IEEE Foundation recognizes ours donors in three different ways. Annual Giving – donors (includes all donors) who give $100 or more in a year are distinguished in one of the eleven giving categories. Full program is explained in the orange “Annual Giving” brochure Planned Giving – individuals who arrange to leave a planned gift to IEEE or IEEE Foundation are invited to join this elite donor recognition group. (This is the group Don Heirman is being recognized as a member of). Benefits of membership include keepsake coin and certification, recognition in the Honor Roll of Donors and on the wall of honor, and invitation to the annual IEEE Honors Ceremony. Full program is explained in the blue “IEEE Goldsmith Legacy League” brochure. Cumulative Giving – philanthropic spirit among our donors reflects a strong desire to give back. Individuals whose donations total $10,000 or more since 1995 (when our data goes back to) are automatically recognized in one of the five giving levels. The levels are named for great science and technology innovators - Tesla, Bell, Edison, Maxwell, and Faraday. (order of the names is based upon when they lived – most recent to longest ago). Benefits include a keepsake coin and certification, and recognition in the Honor Roll of Donors and on the wall of honor. Full program is explained in the green “IEEE Heritage Circle” brochure.

Support of IEEE Programs with Donor Designated Funds

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In addition to the grants program, the IEEE Foundation administers funds entrusted to it that support programs of IEEE

Donor Designated Funds

Established to accept, acknowledge, invest, and manage donations that support IEEE programs IEEE Programs can be for a specific activity or general in scope Requires an initial commitment of at least US$20,000 IEEE unit that runs the supported program is allowed to spend against the Fund

15

Presenter
Presentation Notes
These funds are: Donor designated funds are typically set up in one of two ways: At the request of a donor to support an IEEE program of interest to the donor By an IEEE units that want to raise funds for a specific program Funds can be established to support the program until depleted or to provide long-term support

Investment of Funds

16

Assets are commingled and invested based upon the expected duration of the Fund and gift(s) received

• Short-term interest bearing account Less than 10 Years

• IEEE Long Term Investment Fund with at least one year’s worth of expenses in short-term interest bearing account

10 Years or Longer

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Less than 10 years – investing in only short-term ensures the gift doesn’t lose value. Typically gifts intended to spent until deplete are kept in this category. (Kliman) 10 years or longer – must focus on the long-term and take advantage of the power of the market. Typically gifts intended to provide long-term support are kept in this category – with one year held in short-term to allow the IEEE Foundation to fulfill its immediate cash needs. (EMCS Society President’s Award Fund – about ½ here and ½ in less than 10 years) (Rooks – because of balance; and both Zuckers) The IEEE Foundation’s Investment Operations Manual is available on our website. The IOM provides transparency to the IEEE Foundation’s investment policy..

Establishment of a Donor Designated Fund

17

IEEE unit submits a formal request to IEEE Development Office (template available)

Development Office reviews/modifies request as needed and forwards for approval

IEEE Foundation Board of Directors considers request

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This slide shows the steps to request that a fund be established. The Development Office works closely with the IEEE unit that will manage the program to be supported by the Fund to prepare the request IEEE Foundation manages four funds on behalf of Industry Applications Society

Cement Industry Committee

Blake Lloyd and I have held several conference calls with the CIC committee to discuss the Portland Cement

Associations desire to take 100% financial control of the jointly cosponsored IEEE-IAS/ PCA CIC conference. The CIC is not

in favor of the split, however realize if a split occurs, lower attendance at a IEEE IAS CIC conference would occur. Blake and I

reiterated our commitment to the committee and would provide support to re-establish the IEEE IAS CIC committee and

conference. Both Blake and I will be in attendance at the IEEE-IAS / PCA CIC 2013 Conference.

Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee

The IAS-PCIC is concerned over PCIC Europe holding conferences outside of Europe, primarily in the Middle East.

Present MOU between IAS and PCIC Europe is for conference held in Europe only. IAS supports the PCIC to work with the

local IAS Chapters in the Middle East to hold a IEEE – IAS PCIC Middle East conference and to finds ways to cooperate and

work with PCIC Europe.

Louie Powell, ScholarOne Administrator

Carl Speck, Transactions Editor-in-Chief

Lanny Floyd, Magazine Editor-in-Chief

Ahmed Rubaai, Chair IAS Publications Dept

Page 2

An Overview of the IEEE Industry Application Society

1965 - Industry and General Applications Group

1966 – initial publication of Transactions on Industry &

General Applications

1972 - Industry Applications Society

1995 – creation of Industry Applications Magazine

Pre-1963 structure of AIEE� General Applications Division

� Industry Division

� Power Division

� Communications Division

� Instrumentation Division

Demographics today:• ~9000 members

� Industry ~80%

� Applied research industry ~5%

� Academia ~15%

• Global outreach

� 134 Chapters – 54% in R8, 9 & 10

� 14 Student chapters – all in R8, 9 &10

Selected Technical Committees combined to form the

Industry and General Applications Division in 1964 as

part of the merger of AIEE and IRE

• Active annual conference schedule

� 7 IAS-sponsored conferences – R 1–7

� >20 cosponsored conferences, mostly R

8, 9 & 10

• 20 highly diverse Technical Committees

� Many have antecedents in AIEE

� Some >100 years old

� Technology overlaps with other Societies

� Shared interest – applications in industry

Page 3

IAS Publication Policies

Fully Compliant with PSPB Policies

IAS practices based on the history and focus of the Society:

• Papers must have been presented at a conference to be eligible for publication in T-IA

or M-IA

• Publication process managed by the Publications Department

� Peer review performed by technology experts within the Technical Committees

� Publication EiCs have final authority over content

• Single rigorous review process feeds both T-IA and M-IA

� Reviewers recommend preferred periodical for publication

� Publication EiCs make final decisions based on publication focus and strategy

• Two significant changes in publication practices in the 50 year history of IAS

� Creation of the Magazine (1995)

� Adoption of S1M as our peer-review management tool (2008)

Page 4

Historical Perspective on IAS Manuscript Submissions

Data based on past five years five years of submissions for review -

Post-presentation submissions:• 12 technical committees

• Submission for review after conference

presentation

• Opportunity for revision prior to submission

� Average similarity 70% (CrossCheck metric)

• Primary focus on technology

Pre-presentation submissions:• 8 technical committees

• Simultaneous submission for peer review

and conference record

• No opportunity for revision prior to

submission

• Primary focus on applications

Page 5

Characteristics of Pre-Presentation Submissions

• Focused on applications� The factor that holds IAS together – and that differentiates IAS from other Societies

� Drives very high ‘ citation half life’ metrics for IAS publications

• Authors of pre-presentation submissions are mainly industrial practitioners� 80% of IAS membership

• Typically no possibility of substantive modification beyond the conference stage� Industrial employers rarely support efforts focused solely on publication

� Project focused – there is nothing more for the author to say

• Primary source of content for Industry Applications Magazine� Application as the central focus of IAS

• Pre-presentation submissions are exclusively for IAS-sponsored conferences� North-American activity

� Eight of our 20 technical committees

� Practice predates formation of IEEE

Page 6

Impact of the Proposed Policy Change on IAS:

Post-presentation submissions:• All conference papers would have to be revised prior to submission

• Revision concept is inherently flawed

� Undefined threshold of sufficiency

� Easily manipulated

• Expect some reduction in the number of post-presentation submissions

Pre-presentation submissions:• Long standing tradition would be prohibited entirely

• Significant (~30%) drop in total IAS submissions

Page 7

Why IAS Opposes the Proposed Policy Change

1. It would bar industrial practitioners from opportunities for peer review and publication• Disenfranchise a significant fraction of the IAS membership & author community

• Exacerbates existing IEEE problems attracting and retaining industrial practitioner members

2. It would reduce the focus on applications in IAS Publications• A fundamental issue that could challenge the viability of IAS

4. It would force a major shift in the focus of IAS Magazine• Reduces the justification for publication of the Magazine

Proposed Policy Change Would have Devastating Consequences for IAS

and is Incompatible with Fundamental IEEE Principles

6. It would discriminate against North American authors• Globalization is a good thing – but should be done by expanding R 8, 9 & 10 activities

3. It would significantly reduce the number of papers available for publication• Reduced revenue for the Society

5. It would hit eight technical committees especially hard• Committees that have been in existence longer than IEEE

Page 8

Rationale for the proposed policy is flawed:

The proposed policy would manage the issue of duplicate entries in Xplore• Researchers who purchase individual downloads could inadvertently purchase multiple copies of the same paper

But search results already clearly differentiate between conference and journal versions of papers

• Should not attempt to make Xplore ‘bloody foolproof’

• Researchers must accept some responsibility for download errors• Arbitrary rules to differentiate ‘expanded’ versions of conference papers

can easily be manipulated

� No substantive difference in ‘intent, methods and conclusions’

• Phony ‘expanded versions’ are obvious intentions to defraud

• Best way to avoid ethical issues: full disclosure in Xplore

� Clear differentiation between peer-reviewed content and non-peer

reviewed content

� Already being done!

Proposed Policy Change is a Flawed Solution

To a Non-Existent Problem and

With Serious Unintended Consequences

Page 9

Critical component of current IEEE Publications policy:

The decision whether a paper is ‘good enough’ for publication is based on peer review

• Individual Societies and Journals need flexibility to meet the unique needs of their constituencies

• One size does NOT fit all!

Proposed Policy Change is an Unnecessary

Intrusion into the Internal Affairs of IEEE Societies

DC proposal for multiple workshops or symposiums in 2014 on DC – need corporate buy in for involved vendors – focus on standards, perhaps SA committee should be formed that spans other societies. Try and reach out again to Emerge Alliance and other groups already doing work in this area. Workshop invites pominant speaksers

Mark Halpin / Dave Durocher Motion to board to allocate money to support Workshops in 2014 / Coordinating meeting scheduled for Annual Meeting

Zucker 2 fund – restrictive definition Faculty Grant program not working well – 2 up to $25K per year. Apparently our design contest does not fit the definition and so all funding coming from one Zucker fund and not the other. Needs to be a student faculty grant. Zucker 1 – allowed to spend about $27K per year (5%) which we use for Students travel funding.

Joe Sottile / Mark Halpin Don Zinger to monitor and report on Zucker funding spending to make sure this comes from the right pot.

Proposal that Auburn apply and use funding for student travel program. Joe to make form for a new qualifying student faculty grant.

Satish in India coordinating ESW Blake Lloyd / Bruno Q1 at ESW – report back Q2

for November 2014 – Blake to contact him with regard to perhaps contacting IEEE Foundation humanitarian money (support conference, pay speakers). Perhaps use Myron Zucker student funding to support student travel to India ESW (or Board Funding if no zucker around). Coordination with PEDES conference. Support for US based experts to attend. PEMC looking for technical co-sponsorship from IAS – negotiate MOU

Nelms/Lloyd Q2 – Blake to meet with PEMC leaders on Hungarian Trip to discuss details – note iEEE has to approve this as EPE purchase by PELS has rules associated with it.

Treat Motion 40 as a New initiative (Halpin – DC initiative)

Don Zinger Part of 2014 budget process but go thru process of initiative so can use previous years surplus to fund some of this.

Generate new logo draft Lynda Q2 board meeting to vote.

Agenda Item - next sister society – talk about DC initiative – workshop etc we are running.- add to agenda

Support for Lynda – email Randy - I&CPS color books, CMD support, DC Task force, monthly newsletter

Email boggata – remember internet in rooms and meetings, number people, etc – requirements to get proposal from him.

Blake in April at CIC – presentation on what IEEE is and does – educate benefits on IAS – what we bring to CIC and what IEeE/IAs are.

For PCIC Middle East – may want some Financial skin – more from technical to financial. The Saudia Arabia Chapter would be financial and PCIC/IAS will be Technical only. For ESW need to do same…. Leverage for 2014. IAS support for a head to head conference. Do conference in Bahrain or Tunisia.

Approach EPRI on DC initiative.

President Report

Travel: PEDIS – India Attended meeting with Tomy and Peter. Steering committee formed for future meetings. Can’t seem to find my trip report which was sent to Executive. Inauguration ceremony of Student Branch Chapter was part of the event. Very high level of activity in India.

PCIC Interim Meeting Attended PCIC Interim meeting primarily to try and continue dialog about franchising PCIC and ESW around the world (Mexico, Brazil, Middle East). PCIC continues to thrive. They hold their interim meeting in the location of the upcoming meeting. They are getting to be a size that in future years conferences they are planning hotel / conference center type approach. ISGT Attended the technically co-sponsored ISGT (Innovative Smart Grid Technology) in Washington. PES leading the show here, with 4 ISGT’s planned this year including Sweden, Brazil, and Asia. IAS, PELS, and even DEIS are technical co-sponsors. Saifur Rhman from Virginia Tech was general chair. This is a IEEE NIC that is almost over (3 year term) and PES has been keeping active driving conferences, a special magazine issue, etc. Some NIC lessons – get involved early if you want a financial stake in conferences, standards, webinars, etc if it’s in our domain. Over 500 attendees from 32 countries. They did a lot of panels (30), a bunch of parallel paper tracks and a large reception/poster session. Several invited keynotes, large presence of DOE – it seems a lot of utilities and vendors came to get here what DOE is doing with their $7B in

funding (and to grab their piece of the pie). Some big vendors like S&C, Alstom, NEC involved financially. The IEEE TV guys were there in force filming the whole event – likely we should link to the result Clifton. They had a couple of sessions on Electric Vehicle Applications and Micro-grid applications. They set up a cool on-line apple/android app which allows you to schedule what you want to attend at the conference with reminders to your phone – would be good in a place with a lot of parallel sessions and a lot going on. Technically I think Smart Grid is not that smart. A lot of people are using the words “Grid Revitalization” – not as sexy but more like reality. Everyone seems to be tackling parts that make sense for them – but if it was not for the huge government funding I am not sure how much would be getting done. It seems things like smart meters everyone is into, but they still haven’t figured out what the grid will look like in 2030. Next year’s USA version of ISGT will again be in Washington. Not sure how many others they will run – a few years ago they had 6 in the year, but this year just 4. TAB – New President Training and Presidents Forum This was my first TAB as President and was extended to cover items that were not handled in the phone TAB last November in NJ due to Sandy. A day and a half was dedicated to “training” for new Presidents – who is what and where in the iEEE. I came away with some improved knowledge but probably just as many holes. Anyway, it was a good thing for IEEE to do. The rest of TAB is a huge information dump. Basically 3 days of power points – some of interest, many of no interest. During the meeting I sent what I felt was relevant topics/presentations to those on our board rather than collecting it up in this trip report and repeating the information overload of TAB with everyone else. A couple of the highlights:

• Open access seems to be ok with most – but the new OA mega-journal drew a lot of hate – initial invited paper not meet goal of what they are trying to attract – sexy fast moving new tech – invited papers were ones that fit in Society journals. If you are a member of a Society you get 15% off $1375 discount on an OA paper.

• I nominated myself to be a member of TAB periodicals committee and was voted in – I suspect because they only had the minimum of candidates since I have no redeeming abilities or knowledge in this area. Publications are one of the 3 income pillars of IEEE so I thought I should learn (will try and do Conferences and Standards some other times). I think it is a 2 year term and they meet at TAB or electronically.

President Report

• Budgets and IEEE surplus expenses were a hot button – the TAB presidents feel that IEEE makes the money on the back of Volunteers, then IEEE spends it and put restraints. An hour long discussion with no end on this – just lots of hate.

• Bob Hebner (new TAB VP) is going to be a good guy. He came up thru the ranks (in DEIS) and very much seems to have Societies interests at heart.

• Sister societies dinner went ok, still some rubs there and I can see the need for transparency.

• Transportation NIC – met with those running this (Bruno is our Liaison) to keep our ore in. They would like us to fund DL’s to go to do Webinars – I said yes. Want to know if we want in on a Transactions/Journal they are considering starting – PES also said yes ($).

Had early breakfast with our Division II director (Jerry Hudgins). He will likely attend one of our Board meetings – he is the liaison between the society and the Board of directors. As it is his first meeting nothing much to relate. South America – CMD membership Drive Just returned last night – will update my report with the details of a very successful trip in South America with Peter Magyar.

Past President

Date: March 6th, 2013

To: IAS Board Members

Subject: Past President Report to the IAS Executive Board Meeting to be held on March 12th, 2013

December 2012 activities:

In the last month of my tenure as president, I approved the formation of the following chapters or chapter

branches:

• University of Wollongong Industry Applications Society Student Branch Chapter in the New

South Wales Section, Australia (12/03/2012).

• Thadomal Shahani Engineering College Industry Applications Society Student Branch Chapter in

the Bombay Section (12/05/2012).

• Instituto Tecnologico Superior de Coatzacoalcos Industry Applications Society Student Branch

Chapter in the Veracruz Section (12/14/2012).

Nominating committee update:

Candidates for 2014 IAS Executive Board:

- A call for nominees was sent to the IAS e-mail list on January 18, 2013. As of March 3, the total

number of people who expressed an interest was 24.

- The schedule for selecting the finalists is:

o March 11 - The IAS nominating committee will review the candidates.

o July 7 - The nominating committee will approve a list of candidates. The list will have

candidates for Member-at-Large, Treasurer, Chairs of two Operating Departments: Meetings

and Chapters & Membership Departments, and Chairs of two Technical departments: IPCSD

and MSDAD.

o July 8 - The IAS board will approve a slate of candidates for 2014 openings.

o The 2014-2015 Treasurer, Members-at-Large, and Technical Department Chairs will be

chosen by a vote of the IAS Council in September. The council members will be provided with

biographies of the candidates to help them choose.

- The Operating Department chairs will be selected by the IAS President.

Transportation activities:

I was asked by President Lloyd to represent IAS with the IEEE New Initiative Committee on

Transportation Electrification (NIC-TE). President Lloyd also appointed me on the steering committee

for the new Electrification Magazine. A summary of recent activities and news in this area was

forwarded to the Meetings and Publications chairs, and is included here in an Appendix.

Respectfully submitted,

Bruno Lequesne

2011-2012 IAS President

Eaton Innovation Center

Milwaukee, WI

AGENDA ITEM 3.3

Report to the IAS Board concerning transportation issues.

Conference updates:

Planning for ITEC Asia is going well, with the MOU now signed by all 3 IEEE sponsoring societies.

The NIC-TE is now planning a conference, IEVC, for Europe in 2014 (in Munich). Such plans may well

overlap with projects for an ITEC Europe. Plans for ITEC Europe so far are limited to an event to take

place at the same time as ITEC North America, with possibly some video feed between the two. ITEC

Europe planners also want to take into account the EVS (Electric Vehicle Symposium) series, which is a

good idea but may slow progress.

The VTS society, along with the NIC-TE, is planning a conference for the Fall of ’13 in California, VEC/IEVC

(Vehicle Electrification Conference) which will cover many subjects which are not within IAS’ scope (eg.,

communication); however, electric powertrain may be included.

A positive outcome from the NIC-TE is that starting this year, IEEE will be a technical co-sponsor of the

SAE World Congress, with more such collaboration expected with SAE.

In conclusion, there are many positive developments in this area, but perhaps not always the desirable

level of coordination.

Publication updates:

Electrification Magazine: The steering committee meets regularly via teleconference. The first issue is

planned for later this year. The first EIC is Saifur Rahman (PES), with Iqbal Husain (IAS) to follow soon.

The Magazine is planned around 5 subjects, Electric Vehicles, Electric Ships, Electric Trains, Electric

Planes, and Remote area Micro-Grids. There will be an Associate Editor for each topic. Iqbal will take

care of the EV subject. Other Associate editors are presently being identified. Bulent Sarlioglu

(IAS/PELS) is a candidate for Aerospace.

The NIC-TE has developed a web portal on the subject of electrification, and is preparing a newsletter.

There are discussions of a new Transactions on Transportation Electrification. These discussions are at

an early stage, and started with the NIC-TE. Consequently, IAS, PELS, and PES may have to take an

initiative in this area sooner rather than later. Ali Emadi (who started ITEC) is following this closely and

may be leading that effort.

Standards and Education:

The NIC-TE is taking some initiatives in these two areas. Concerning standards, the NIC-TE effort is led

by Paul Bishop (IAS/PES) So far the work has consisted of surveying needs. The first subject to develop

further may be around wireless charging of vehicles.

Concerning education, there are talks of developing IEEE webinars, short courses, etc, and this

information has been communicated to the IAS Transportation Systems Committee for their perusal.

Suggestions from TCs (1)

Extend deadline for transaction paper submission to end of March the following year after annual meeting. This will let authors focus on completing conference papers (normally due March 1st ) which should be the highest priority for IAS since it’s the main source of income for the year.

Give specific hands-on training to Chairs and TCPRC on

creating different reports from ScholarOne for their respective committees (Example: creating a report on papers accepted, rejected or returned to authors during specific search periods) .

Suggestions from TCs (2)

Attract new members (especially young people) by giving travel awards to students and first time members submitting paper(s) to IAS annual meeting for the first time. Budget proposal: $1500 ($1000 for two students awards and $500 for first time member award).

Avoid creating tutorial sections which clash with Sunday tours during annual meetings.

Proposed Agenda Items for I&CPS Meeting at IAS 2012

1. New permanent Committee for helping conference organizers. 2. New position or Committee: Webmaster / Webmaster Committee for I&CPS webpage in

IEEE/IAS website with links to our conferences. 3. New position or Committee: Historian / History Committee to

a. Write articles/papers on or related to history of I&CPS for IAS publications. b. Gather and maintain archives of I&CPS, paper and digital.

4. Online area for meeting agendas and minutes for all Committees, SC’s, WG’s etc. 5. New I&CPS Logo:

12 March 2013 To: Lynda Bernstein, IEEE IAS Administrator Subject: Education Department 2013, 1st Quarter Report Committee Reports: Asynchronous Education Committee Electric Machine Theory and Design Tutorial

As reported in the Q4 Education Department Report, there is a plan to offer a series of tutorials on Electric Machine Theory and Design by Professor Tim Miller. Dr. Miller is the winner of the 2008 Tesla Award and is the founder of the SPEED Laboratory and author of the SPEED software for electric machine design. These tutorials would likely be sponsored by PES, IAS, and PELS.

Two options for recording were discussed: IEEE.tv and eLearning. After discussing these options with Dr. Miller, it was determined that eLearning would be the better option. Plans are proceeding along that path. Conference Education Committee Power System Fundamentals Tutorial

A Power System Fundamentals tutorial is being planned for August 2013 in Denver. The first offering will be a two-day tutorial with plans to extend it to a three- or four-day tutorial. (Topics are listed in 1012 Q4 Report.) 2013 IAS Annual Meeting Tutorials

A call for tutorials for the 2013 IAS Annual Meeting is posted on the conference website. Three applications have been received.

Total Submissions

Submission History

• 2008 was the transition year – available data reflects only a portion of the Society

� CIC not included in 2009-2011

� SECSC and TSC added in 2012; ESafC added in 2013

� No activity or data for former AIC

• Noticeable increasing trend 2008-2012

� Success of ECCE

� Increasing impact from cosponsored conferences

• 2012 Joint Transactions create a ‘bump’ In 2011

Approvals History

• Magazine tradition is essentially constant – 42-45 papers per year

• Variations in annual approvals must be absorbed by Transactions

� Transactions page budget set long before papers are submitted and reviewed

� Fixed page budget + variable content = challenge for Transactions EiC

• S1M does not track actual manuscript publication dates

Acceptance Rate

• Actual measured acceptance rate in IAS has been declining

• Increase in paper approvals is driven by increase in submissions

• IEEE does not have any targets for acceptance rate?

• There is no way that a target for acceptance rate could ever be enforced.

� The decision on each paper is made independently of all other submissions

Submissions Acceptance Rate

Revise/Resubmit Decisions

• Inconclusive trend over measurement period

� Anecdotal sense is that revise/resubmit decision is used more frequently than pre-S1M

� 2012 data are anomalous because there are too many papers still in review

• About 30% of acceptances are based on the initial submission

� 2/3 of accepted papers have been through at least one revision/resubmission

� Technical Committees are working harder to improve papers approved for publication

• About 90% of rejections are based on the initial submission

� Technical Committees are decisive about rejecting inferior papers

Decisions based on

Initial Submission Only

Decision Timeliness

• IEEE target is 90 days

� The plan originally called for a gradual reduction to 60 days - never implemented

� The plan also called for penalties if the target was not met – also not implemented

• IAS performance is essentially consistent with IEEE expectations

� Received favorable comments from TAB PRAC in 2012

• Low first decision time in 2011 was a statistical anomaly

• Timing is controlled by both random and systemic factors

Measured average ‘first-

decision’ times

Systemic Timing Issues

• Lead time for conference submissions

� Causes first-decision time on pre-presentation submissions to be longer

Recommendation:

Make NO process changes unless/until IEEE changes the target

• 30 day period allowed for submission of reviews

73%

Random Timing Issues

• Random issues on specific papers

� Delays caused by AEs or Reviewers

� Difficulties identifying suitable Reviewers

• Committee issues

� Administrative approval requirements

� Personnel availability concerns

� Hesitance in making decisions

Recommendation:

AEs and TCPRCs continue to monitor progress and intervene when necessary

Continued monitoring and intervention by Department Vice-Chairs (Papers)

Intervention as required by Society ExecutiveTriggered by monthly “Red Flag Report”

Individual Committee Performance – Approvals for Publication

• Heavy hitters: EMC, EPC, IDC, IPCC, PCIC and PSEC

• Some Committees are biased toward Transactions

� Creates challenge for Magazine EiC – maintaining a balanced perspective

• New Committees still ramping up: ESafC, SECSC and TSC

• CIC used S1M for the first time in 2012

Individual Committee Performance – Submissions and Approval Rate

• Committees that have predominately ‘post-presentation’ submissions (dark green) usually have a

lower measured acceptance rate

� Typically do NOT see papers prior to conference presentation

• Committees that have predominately ‘pre-presentation’ submissions (light green) usually have a

higher measured acceptance rate

� Typically filter out some inferior papers prior to conference presentation

• Performance by new Committees (ESafC, SECSC and TSC) is anomalous due to limited data

• CIC data limited – used S1M for the first time in 2012

Individual Committee Performance – First Decision Time

• Most Committees that have predominately ‘post-presentation’ submissions (dark green) have a

first decision time that is less than the 90 day target

• All Committees that have predominately ‘pre-presentation’ submissions (light green) have a first

decision time that exceeds the 90 day target

� Hold back on recording a decision until after the conference presentation

IAS Transactions Update

• The March/April 2013 issue of the IAS Transactions has been filled with 41 papers;

40 new papers and one that was delayed from the January/February 2013 issue.

All were delivered to IEEE Publications via export through ScholarOne

Manuscripts before the manuscript due date of February 12th.

• The issue also contains the annual recognition of the papers reviewers for the

Transactions and Magazine for those who have contributed their time and efforts

to this activity in 2012.

• The current page budget allows for 40 papers per issue for January/February and

March/ April while keeping the remainder of the year’s issues at 50 papers per

issue.

IAS Transactions Update (Cont.)

• A backlog of 150 papers, an increase of 34 over that of EiC’s last report, means

that all of the issues are filled through the end of the year.

• The EiC has been receiving 5-6 additional approved papers each week compared

with only 2 or 3 per week throughout most of last year (not counting the special

issue papers).

• The approved page budget does not even allow the EiC to keep up with the inflow

of papers. Therefore, although the proposed page budget in October appeared

reasonable at the time, it is obvious that the EiC cannot reduce his backlog under

the current page budget and will have to request additional pages.

• The EiC is proposing 50 papers per issue until the backlog is eliminated.

IA Magazine Update

• The Jan/Feb and Mar/April 2013 issues were mailed on schedule. The May/June

issue production is on target for mailing mid-April. Development of the

July/August issue is on schedule.

• There are no other outstanding issues or concerns with IA Magazine at this time.

IEEE INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS SOCIETY S.M. Halpin, Chairman PLEASE REPLY TO: Standards Department ECE Department Auburn University 200 Broun Hall Auburn University, AL 36849 (334) 844-1824 (334) 844-1809 FAX [email protected] (email)

March 11, 2013 To: Blake Lloyd, IAS President Subject: Standards Department 1st Quarter Report The following summarizes the activities and issues that have occurred/arisen since December 2012: 1. The DC Task Team in I&CPS has completed its work and will present a summary paper at the 2013 I&CPS Conference (May 2013). This paper will summarize the issues associated with standardization needs and opportunities related to DC electrical systems. The next steps are not clear at this time. 2. I attended the March meeting of the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board (SASB) in Piscataway where I participated in the RevCom and Standards Board meetings. Some initial outputs from the re-organized Color Books were approved as standards, but much work remains to be done to replace the entire Color Book series. The next meeting of these committees will be in Brussels (Belgium) in June 2013. 3. The Audit Committee of the SASB accepted the Policies and Procedures documents for all Technical Committees of IAS that are involved in standards development. All IAS committees except PCIC are covered under a blanket P&P document; PCIC developed and submitted their own document. I requested that these approved documents be given to me in their final form so that they could be formally approved by the Executive Board, but these documents have not yet been provided. I anticipate a formal motion to accept/approve these P&P documents at an Executive Board meeting as soon as they are available. 4. There is a potential governance issue regarding the relationship between the Technical Committees, the Society, and the IEEE SA. At this time, IEEE SA recognizes the committees, but not the Society. As such, the Society has no formal role or position in standards development other than as a facilitator. The Executive Board should consider this matter to insure everyone is aware of an accepting of this situation. We can consider possible changes if that is the wish of the Executive Board.

Respectfully Submitted,

Mark Halpin
