IEC/IEEE 80005-1:2019 Updates to Address Practical Issues with Installations

IEC/IEEE Joint Working group (WG) members, under the leadership and guidance of the convener, put forward a tremendous effort to compose standards. Many meetings take place for consensus resolutions of the review comments. Authors of this paper are IEEE officers and WG members of this standard from the first issue through the present revised version and have knowledge of the history of comments and their resolution through the consensus process. This paper clarifies some of the requirements for the proper application of the standard. Authors are experienced in the design, installation, testing, and commissioning of shore power projects and provide their views of some of the issues that may require first-hand input to the industry professionals involved in these types of projects. Technical references and recommendations included in the paper should enhance reader’s knowledge of shore power projects mandated in numerous regions around the world to enhance safety of operators, minimize air pollution in the vicinity of Ports for health benefits and produce a cleaner environment for the public.
