Utilizing terminology as established in IEEE 2755-2017 and technology taxonomy as established in IEEE 2755.1 – 2019, this Recommended Practice provides a comprehensive methodology for technology domain exploration, development of strategy, technology evaluation, Implementation, management, operations, program optimization and successful enterprise scaling for IPA programs. This Recommended Practice provides the reader a compilation of best practices from industry leaders on the proven methods from the initial discovery and exploration of the transformative capabilities of IPA technology through to developing and running an enterprise-wide program

Utilizing terminology as established in IEEE Std 2755-2017, defined and classified in this guide are approximately 150 features and functions across five core areas of technology capability in the family of new technology products collectively referred to as Intelligent Process Automation. This guide is published to create clarity for individuals involved with Software-Based Intelligent Process Automation products so that industry participants may rely on a product manufacturer’s functionality claims and understand the underlying technological methods used to produce those functions and how one might approach evaluating the relative sophistication and importance of each function or feature. This guide represents the consensus of a diverse panel of industry participants.

An all new family of software based intelligent process automation technologies has emerged recently. Because of the newness of this kind of automation capability, there are no common definitions of concepts, capabilities, terms, technology, types, etc. This standard is published for the purpose of promoting clarity and consistency in the use of Software Based Intelligent Process Automation (SBIPA) terminology. The definitions represent the consensus of a diverse panel of industry participants.

A framework for monitoring the effects and evaluating comprehensive benefits of demand response programs is proposed in this guide. From perspectives of ex-ante and ex-post evaluation, this guide introduces the evaluation processes on demand response effects with its comprehensive benefits and implemented calculation methods in detail. This guide could be applied in various electricity market structures to provide utilities with the references for the planning, design, implementation, and post-evaluation of demand response programs.

The ac/dc substation control equipment, pole control equipment, protection equipment, and auxiliary secondary equipment of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission systems are the focus of this guide. Based on analyzing the existing HVDC transmission projects, specifications for structure, configuration, performance and test of HVDC control and protection equipment, which could be applied to HVDC transmission system with the voltage range up to and including 800 kV are provided in this guide.

Outdoor and indoor composite station post insulators used in high-voltage direct-current power transmission systems are covered in this standard. The composite station post insulators covered by this standard consist of a load-bearing insulating core (or tube), a housing (outside the insulating solid core or tube) made of elastomer material (e.g., silicone or ethylene-propylene), and end fittings attached to the insulating core (or tube).

As a significant part of wind turbine, the rotor system of wind turbine has the functions of transforming wind energy, and balancing power, load and noise, it is critical to the wind turbine safety and economical operation. A rotor system consists of blade, hub, pitch system and yaw system. A technical supervision code for each part of the rotor system to improve the safety and normal operation is specified in this standard.
