3.0 CHAIR ’S REMARKS & REPORT – BILL CHIU 3.1 CHAIR ’S REMARKS
Good Morning and Welcome to Munich!
For those of you who I have not had the pleasure of meeting in person, my name is Bill Chiu and it is my privilege to serve you in my capacity as the Chair of the Transformers Committee. My other full time job is with Southern California Edison where I am responsible for a variety of engineering activities from substation infrastructure, to generation interconnection facilities, to protection/control and automation for all of our bulk power assets within the substation fence.
I wish to express, on behalf of the Transformers Committee, our thanks to the local host team, Bernhard Kurth, and the rest of the hardworking team members from Reinhausen Manufacturing for all that they have done in planning for this meeting and showing us their hospitality.
Congratulation to Peter Balma and Jim Harlow on their IEEE Fellowships. Round of applause.
At the last meeting in Milwaukee, I talked about what we all devote to Transformers Committee activities, and just want to remind you to find that passion and get energized for what makes you devote the time and the energy to the this important work that we do here.

The summary report from the Technical Council retreat is also included below for you reference
3.2.4 Update on Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD) Taskforce
The Technical Council Taskforce on GMD is continuing to make progress on the development of the position paper since last year. At this point the taskforce is working on the third draft of the position paper. There is plan underway to seek publication of either the entire paper or a condensed version of the paper in the PES Power & Energy Magazine later this year to coincide with the GDM Super Session planned at the PES General Meeting in July, 2013 at Vancouver Canada. It is anticipated that the position paper will be completed in April of 2013. This is a little behind the original schedule set back at the end of last year, primarily due to the additional scope of further analysis on transformers hot spots based on a recorded GIC profile of the GMD event that occurred during the March 13 14, 1989 solar storm.
3.2.5 Transformers Committee Activities
3.2.5.1 S ubcommittee Chairpersons & Technical Editor I would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest member – Michael Franchek. Mike was appointed his new role earlier this year as our incoming Dielectric Tests Subcommittee Chair, replacing Loren Wagenaar who resigned at the end of last year. We will miss Loren as part of the leadership group and would like to thank Loren for his long tenure of dedicated service to the Transformer Committee and to our industry. We wish Loren all the best in the future. Our current roster of the Subcommittee Chairs and Editor are:
• Bushings Subcommittee Peter Zhao • Dielectric Test Subcommittee Michael Franchek • Distribution Transformers Subcommittee Stephen Shull • Dry Type Transformers Subcommittee Charles Johnson • HVDC Converter Transformers & Smoothing Reactors Subcommittee Michael Sharp • Instrument Transformers Ross McTaggart • Insulating Fluids Subcommittee Susan McNelly • Insulation Life Subcommittee Bruce Forsyth • Meetings Subcommittee Gregory Anderson • Performance Characteristics Subcommittee Ed teNyenhuis • Power Transformers Subcommittee Joe Watson • Standards Subcommittee William Bartley • Underground Transformers & Network Protectors Subcommittee Carl Niemann • Technical Editor Sanjib Som
All of them have committed to serve the duration of the calendar year 2013. PES Technical Council was notified of the Subcommittee Chairs and Technical Editor appointments for the calendar year 2013 in accordance with the guideline set forth in our O&P Manual.
3.2.6 IEEE Senior Membership IEEE membership has several categories, with the senior level being the highest grade which a member can apply. IEEE has developed a streamlined process for members to request elevation of their membership status. The process is simply and can be done entirely on line. The Chair strongly encourages everyone that have been an active contributor to the industry for at least five years to apply for this elevation in membership status. The basic qualifications are:
• be engineers, scientists, educators, technical executives, or originators in IEEE designated fields; • have experience reflecting professional maturity; • have been in professional practice for at least ten years; • show significant performance over a period of at least five of their years in professional practice.
Benefits of becoming a senior member include: • Recognition : The professional recognition of your peers for technical & professional excellence. • Senior member plaque : Since January 1999, all newly elevated Senior members have received an engraved Senior Member plaque to be proudly displayed for colleagues, clients and employers to see. The plaque, an attractive fine wood with bronze engraving, is sent within six to eight weeks after elevation. • US$25 coupon : IEEE will recognize all newly elevated Senior members with a coupon worth up to US$25. This coupon can be used to join one new IEEE society. The coupon expires on 31 December of the year in which it is received. • Letter of commendation : A letter of commendation will be sent to your employer on the achievement of Senior member grade (upon the request of the newly elected Senior member). • Announcements : Announcement of elevation can be made in section/society and/or local newsletters, newspapers and notices. • Leadership Eligibility : Senior members are eligible to hold executive IEEE volunteer positions. • Ability to refer other candidates : Senior members can serve as a reference for other applicants for senior membership. • Review panel : Senior members are invited to be on the panel to review senior member applications. • US$25 referral coupon : Newly elevated Senior members are encouraged to find the next innovators of tomorrow and invite them to join IEEE. Invite them to join and the new IEEE member will receive $25 off their first year of membership.
3.2.7 Committee Membership All are welcome to participate in the work of the Transformers Committee.

The Theme of the conference is Fifty Years of Engineering Solutions 2014 PES General Meeting Location Not Yet Published The deadline for paper submission will probably be in November 2013.
4.1.3 Changes to IEEE PES Conference Paper Rules This portion of the report is copied from the Falll 2012 meeting report. Changes or updates are shown in italics. The IEEE PES explanation of these changes is published and can be reviewed at http://pes gm.org/2013/index.php/call for papers.
4.1.3.1 Conference Paper Submission Requirements The paper length has been reduced to 5 pages. Part 1 and Part 2 papers will not be permitted. The maximum paper length has been reduced to 5 pages. Papers that are divided into Part 1 and Part 2 will not be permitted.
4.1.3.2 Conference Paper Presentations There will be no Transformers Committee Paper Presentation sessions. The majority of accepted conference papers will be scheduled for presentation at the Monday evening poster session. Presentation of an accepted paper at the conference is a requirement of publication. Any paper not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore. The papers judged to be in the top 60-80 of all accepted conference papers will be selected to be presented in a Conference Paper Session. [Each Committee will have an allocation of papers that they may submit]. The participating Author will be allowed 8 minutes to present the paper and will be allowed to use a maximum of 6 PowerPoint slides. A few of the top 60 to 80 conference papers will be chosen and recognized as General Meeting Conference Prize Papers, during the Tuesday Awards dinner.
4.1.3.3 Paper Forum At the 2013 General Meeting, there will also be a paper forum session. The time allotted for presentation of Transactions papers was not filled, so a decision was made to insert the Paper Forum. Here a limited number of the conference papers accepted for publication will be scheduled for presentation. This will allow the author a 4 minute time slot to describe the paper. At the conclusion of the session, each author must be prepared to appear with a poster of the paper to be displayed at the back of the room. All questions will be addressed during this poster session.
4.1.3.4 Transactions Paper Presentations The PES Technical Committees will be selecting published Transactions papers for presentation at the 2013 General Meeting. An author of an accepted PES Transactions paper who is interested in presenting it at the 2013 PES General Meeting must upload the full paper, in addition to the paper's abstract, to the on line submission and review site by the deadlines listed above. The appropriate Technical Committee Program Chair (TCPC) will determine if the topic of the paper is suited for presentation in one of the technical sessions. 4.1.3.5 Special Issue Transactions Paper Presentations: Beginning in 2013, select papers from Special Issue PES Transactions will be presented at the PES General Meeting. The Special Issues have already been identified for 2013, but authors are encouraged to submit papers to future special issues. Information on planned Special Issue PES Transactions can be found at: http://www.ieee- pes.org/calls-for-transactions
4.1.3.6 Panel Sessions The Transformers Committee will have the opportunity to sponsor a panel session at future conferences. We have not yet considered this type of presentation at any future conference. Panelists will not be required to write summary papers to participate in panel sessions. Only PowerPoint presentations are required. Invited panelists are free to submit a conference paper on the topic they are asked to present, if they so choose, but it must be submitted to the on line submission and review site by the conference paper submission deadlines listed above and it will be reviewed for acceptance under the same criteria as all conference paper submissions. Participation as a panelist does not guarantee that your conference paper submission will be accepted and published.

The Transformers Committee AMS database of people currently has three general categories of participation in our activities. These are: Interested Individual , Active Participant , and Committee Member . Anyone can join our AMS 123 system as the system is designed for self registration. A new participant will automatically be assigned the role of Interested Individual when they first sign up. Based on the level of participation, the committee administrative staff will upgrade the participation status to “Active Participant” when appropriate. The Committee Member status however, can only be attained through a formal application with the sponsorship of minimum of three WG or SC chairmanships. Detail of the application requirements and approval process by the Administrative Subcommittee is outlined in our O&P manual.
The following table contains a count of the participants grouped by the three general categories.

It is the responsibility of each individual to keep his/her profile updated, (except for the category).
5.2 New Member Applications Six new applications for Committee Membership have been received since our previous meeting in Milwaukee. They will be submitted for approval at the Munich meeting on March 17, 2013. Details of the membership applications and sponsors are listed in the following table.

The Committee welcomes and encourages active participants to become Members of the Committee. Requirements and application forms can be found in the Organization and Procedures (O&P) Manual, accessible on the Committee website. A copy of the Membership Application is attached as an Annex to this Secretary’s Report. Subcommittee Chairs are encouraged to recommend new members, and to communicate the process of attaining membership through active participation and contribution at the WG and SC level. WG and SC Chairs are reminded also that signing an application sponsoring a new member signifies their sponsorship that the applicant has met the requirement of membership and active participation for at least one year in the WG or SC they Chair. New member applications may be submitted to the Committee Secretary’s attention at any time. Applications will be collected for review and approval in batches at each Administrative Subcommittee meeting.
5.3 Committee, Subcommittees, and Working Group Rosters In order to provide indemnification to working group and subcommittee members it is crucial that membership lists be maintained. Our AM system has these functions built in to ease these administration tasks. It is important that each subcommittee and working group chair keep the rosters updated so that this information can be provided to the IEEE SA. A similar main committee roster has also been developed to track attendance for the Main Committee General Session meeting on Monday & Thursday. The data will be used to update participant’s membership profile.
5.4 IEEE/PES and IEEE/SA Membership Requirements As a reminder, all members of the Transformers Committee must also be members in good standing of the Power & Energy Society (IEEE/PES) and the Standards Association (IEEE/SA). There are a number of Transformers Committee members who have lapsed and must renew their SA and/or PES affiliation. These memberships are renewed annually along with your IEEE Membership renewal, which typically occurs at the end of each year. Reminder that WG Chairs must also be a member of the SC, IEEE, PES, and SA. There are a number of Transformers Committee Members who are not PES or SA members. They will be given a reminder to renew these required memberships. If they do not comply then they will be dropped as Members. It is not fair to the other Members who adhere to this rule and pay the annual fees. Moreover, a person CANNOT participate in any ballot activity if they are not an SA member, and this is one of the basic responsibilities of an active member.
5.5 Committee Membership Maintenance & New Category – “Past Member” The committee roster has been reviewed and there are many members that are not attending, not actively participating, and/or are not members of IEEE, PES, or SA, as required. See the list attached on the last 4 pages of this report. This has been an ongoing issue, i.e., what to do with previous members who for whatever reason are no longer active, or able to meet the requirements. It was felt that simply removing them was too disrespectful, so it has been suggested to create a new category of inactive “Past Member”, whereby a previously active Committee Member would be placed in this category for a period of 3 years, before being removed altogether. This temporary category is intended to maintain some honor and prestige of previous committee membership, rather than abruptly and unceremoniously ending it. Moreover, for those that desire, it gives a person the opportunity to be reinstated as a Committee Member if so desired. Past Members have no voting rights. This category does not yet exist in the O&P Manual, and may not even get approved by RevCom, but in the meantime, we will try this out. Comments are welcome.
5.6 Consistent Guidelines for Membership Maintenance Due to varying application of removal of members from individual SC’s & WG’s, the Secretary has reviewed the rules and reminded the SC Chairs for consistent application. Per the present Section 7.2 of the Working Group P&P Manual, following are some key points, that can also apply to Task Force and Subcommittee membership maintenance. I paraphrase and summarize here the key points: Membership is automatically granted to anyone requesting it at the first meeting of a new WG or TF.
