Title: How to Develop IEEE Standards and Roadmaps?
Time: Afternoon (13:30 – 17:00) of May 19, 2024
Description of the Session:
Standards are published documents that establish technical specifications and procedures designed to maximize the reliability of the materials, products, methods, and/or services people use every day. Standards form the fundamental building blocks for product development by establishing consistent protocols that can be universally understood and adopted. This helps fuel compatibility and interoperability and simplifies product development, and speeds time-to-market.
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) is a leading consensus-building organization within the IEEE. This Session intends to provide an overview of the operation of the IEEE Standards Association and introduce the process of initiating and developing IEEE standards. The Session outlines the standard development process including key steps such as proposal, initiation, development, review, approval, and publication of standards.
The development of innovative technologies for power delivery systems and components is accelerating to meet the technical demands to support new market applications such as smart power everywhere, high-performance computing, and wearables as well as advancements in high-speed data, handheld devices, and edge computing. Standards, recommended practices, and guidelines are required to confirm and validate the technical performance and reliability of evolving power delivery systems and components. This Session will also provide a brief overview of the standards development activity within IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). It will cover the milestones and schedule of the standards development process and the methodology that drives open discussions to arrive at consensus to ensure that power delivery is sufficient and dependable to support evolving markets that meet consumer needs. The presentation will briefly cover a few key technical details of past and current projects as examples of the advancement of validation methodologies required for new applications to support the evolving markets.
Different from standards, technology roadmaps are documents that stimulate an industry-wide dialogue to address the many facets and challenges of the development and implementation of an emerging technology. Technology roadmaps provide direction for companies looking to expand their technological processes through advancements in their industries. This Session will present information about technology roadmaps currently ongoing at the Power Electronics Society, on technologies for wide bandgap power semiconductors and distributed energy resources. The presenters will talk about how the volunteers can lead and engage in the development of IEEE standards and roadmaps.
