The IEEE PES Power System Relaying Committee what is it? What's happening there? Why is it important to you?

The Power System Relaying Committee (PSRC) is one of the 17 technical committees of the Power and Energy Society (PES) reporting to the PES Technical Council. The PSRC was established over 75 years ago as the repository for the standards and application guides pertaining to protective relays used in our industry. Lots of changes have come to the industry since the PSRC's inception and PSRC is changing to meet those needs. This paper will discuss a brief history of the PSRC, it's organization, where it fits into the Standards body, what it's doing currently, how it's evolving to meet your needs, and you can help.
