  • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    Daylight Saving Time (DST) Updated September 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45208 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Summary Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a period of the year between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The beginning and ending dates are set in statute. Congressional interest in the potential benefits and costs of DST has resulted in changes to DST observance since it was first adopted in the United States in 1918. The United States established standard time zones and DST through the Calder Act, also known as the Standard Time Act of 1918. The issue of consistency in time observance was further clarified by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. These laws as amended allow a state to exempt itself—or parts of the state that lie within a different time zone—from DST observance. These laws as amended also authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate standard time zone boundaries and DST. The time period for DST was changed most recently in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005; P.L. 109-58). Congress has required several agencies to study the effects of changes in DST observance. In 1974, DOT reported that the potential benefits to energy conservation, traffic safety, and reductions in violent crime were minimal. In 2008, the Department of Energy assessed the effects to national energy consumption of extending DST as changed in EPACT 2005 and found a reduction in total primary energy consumption of 0.02%.

Governing the Time of the World https://www.e-ir.info/2016/08/07/governing-the-time-of-the-world/ TIM STEVENS, AUG 7 2016 This is an excerpt from Time, Temporality and Global Politics – an E-IR Edited Collection. Available now on Amazon (UK, USA, Ca, Ger, Fra), in all good book stores, and via a free PDF download. Find out more about E-IR’s range of open access books here Recent scholarship in International Relations (IR) is concerned with how political actors conceive of time and experience temporality and, specifically, how these ontological and epistemological considerations affect political theory and practice (Hutchings 2008; Stevens 2016). Drawing upon diverse empirical and theoretical resources, it emphasises both the political nature of ‘time’ and the temporalities of politics. This chronopolitical sensitivity augments our understanding of international relations as practices whose temporal dimensions are as fundamental to their operations as those revealed by more established critiques of spatiality, materiality and discourse (see also Klinke 2013). This transforms our understanding of time as a mere backdrop to ‘history’ and other core concerns of IR (Kütting 2001) and provides opportunities to reflect upon the constitutive role of time in IR theory itself (Berenskoetter 2011; Hom and Steele 2010; Hutchings 2007; McIntosh 2015). One strand of IR scholarship problematises the historical emergence of a hegemonic global time that subsumed within it local and indigenous times to become the time by which global trade and communications are transacted (Hom 2010, 2012).

  • Application Note AN2015-03
    Application Note AN2015-03 Solving UTC and Local Time Time-Stamp Challenges Using ACSELERATOR TEAM® SEL-5045 Software Joshua Hughes INTRODUCTION As intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that allow historical data recording and trending (such as protective relays and revenue meters) are integrated into power systems, it becomes apparent that correlating time between devices at multiple locations can be a complex issue. It is good practice to connect high-accuracy clocks to all IEDs to allow for event analysis. When comparing events, it is usually easy to determine if one event record is applicable or not because of time zone differences or daylight-saving time (DST) discrepancies. However, when comparing continuous trending data, such as load profile data, it becomes much more important to record accurate time zone and DST information. Without this information, the data profile might not provide enough detail to determine what local time the data were recorded in. This application note describes the challenges associated with time zones and DST, and it presents two ACSELERATOR TEAM® SEL-5045 Software configurations for solving time-stamp ambiguity issues. PROBLEM The two major challenges associated with data time stamps are time zones and DST application. Most users prefer that IEDs in the field be programmed with local time to make their jobs easier, but this causes complications with older devices that do not understand time zones or DST. Time Zones Local times were first determined by apparent solar time using devices such as sundials. Because apparent solar time fluctuates based on where the measurement is taken (roughly four minutes for every degree of longitude), time zones were created to maintain a standard time between multiple regions.
