Abstract

One of the main branches existents in the IEEE is the Power & Energy Society, this society is

completely dedicated to make standards related to technology in the field of electrical energy,

the electric power industry, with the objective of provide to the members and the general

public to these standards to help them to develop technology.

Key words: PES, IEEE, Power & Energy Society.

 IEEE PES 3

The Power & Energy Society is divided in many other branches and has a lot of

contributions of other bodies and colleges of engineers, even this society support other one’s

researches societies.

The PES as institution has as mission to goes like this: “To be the leading provider of

scientific and engineering information on electric power and energy for the betterment of

society, and the preferred professional development source for our members” (IEEE PES

Governing Board, 17 July 2003)

The main fields of action of the PES are the research, in designing and developing technology

for electric power systems, quality of energy and control systems in the electrical industry.

Be a member of IEEE Power & Energy Society has the next benefits:

A free subscription to the PES magazine, Electrification magazine, free access to

related material of PES topics, a free membership in the local PES chapter,

conferences and meetings in your local area and around the world, and other one’s

more related with the other societies contributing with IEEE PES.

About Standards

The PES technical committees keep working in a series of documents of standardization to

the electrical field. These documents are divided in three main types: Standard,

Recommended Practice and Guide.

The last year the IEEE PES passed by a restructuration of the PES Technical Committee,

getting as result twenty committees: (IEEE PES Technical Council, 2016)

Intelligent Grid and Emerging Technologies Coordinating Committee

Marine Systems Coordinating Committee

Wind and Solar Power Coordinating Committee

Analytics Methods for Power Systems Committee

Electric Machinery Committee

Energy Development and Power Generation Committee

Energy Storage and Stationary Battery Committee

Insulated Conductors Committee

Nuclear Power Engineering Committee

Power System Communications and Cybersecurity Committee

Power System Dynamic Performance Committee

Power System Instrumentation and Measurements Committee

Power System Operations, Planning and Economics Committee

Power System Relaying and Control Committee

Smart Buildings, Loads and Customer Systems Committee

Substations Committee

Surge Protective Devices Committee

 IEEE PES 5

Switchgear Committee

Transformers Committee

Transmission and Distribution Committee.

MISION AND COST OF MEMBRESHIP.

The mission of PES is to be the leading provider of scientific and engineering

information on electric power and energy for the betterment of society, and the preferred

professional development source for our members – Approved by the PES Governing Board,

17 July-2003.

• PES dues (2014): $35.00 per year

• IEEE dues (2014): $146 to $187 based on Region

The Power & Energy Society provides the world’s largest forum for sharing the latest

technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide

the development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members of

the industry and the general public.

PES PUBLICATIONS (2014).

These are some of the journals in which the PES members can publish the information

that has been obtained from a long research:

IEEE Power & Energy Magazine (free to PES members)

IEEE Electrification Magazine

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery

IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid

IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy

IEEE Power & Energy Letters
