421.5-2005
IEEE Recommended Practice for Excitation System Models for Power System
Stability Studies
Revision of IEEE Std 421.5-1992
Excitation system models suitable for use in large-scale system stability
studies are presented. Important limiters and supplementary controls are
also included. The model structures presented are intended to facilitate
the use of field test data as a means of obtaining model parameters.
802.1AD-2005 - Preorder Only
IEEE
Standards for Local and metropolitan area networks-Virtual Bridged Local
Area Networks-Revision-Amendment 4: Provider Bridges
Amendment to IEEE Std 802.1Q-2005. This amendment enables a service
provider to use the architecture and protocols of IEEE Std 802.1Q to offer
the equivalent of separate LANs, Bridged Local Area Networks, or Virtual
Bridged Local Area Networks to a number of customers, while requiring
no cooperation between the customers, and minimal cooperation between
each customer and the service provider.
982.1-2005
IEEE
Standard Dictionary of Measures of the Software Aspects of Dependability
Revision of IEEE Std 982.1-1988. A Standard Dictionary of Measures
of the Software Aspects of Dependability for assessing and predicting
the reliability, maintainability, and availability of any software system;
in particular, it applies to mission critical software systems
1285-2005
IEEE
Standard for Scalable Storage Interface S2I
This document specifies a scalable interface between mass-storage devices
and controlling hardware/software. The interface has been optimized for
low-latency interconnects, assuming that the processor/controller and
the storage device can often be co-located on the same printed-circuit
board. The interface can also be used with longer-distance bus-like interconnects,
including (but not limited to) IEEE Std 1394-1995 Serial Bus and IEEE
Std 1596-1992 Scalable Coherent Interface.
1725-2006
IEEE
Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Cellular Telephones
This standard establishes criteria for design analysis for quality, and
establishes criteria for reliability of rechargeable Li-Ion and Li-Ion
Polymer batteries for mobile telephone applications. Also included in
the standard are battery pack electrical and mechanical construction,
packaging technologies, pack and cell level charge and discharge controls,
and overall system considerations.

Standards Interpretation for IEEE Std 802.11i™-2004
This is an interpretation of IEEE Std 802.11i-2004. Interpretations are
issued to explain and clarify the intent of a standard and are not intended
to constitute an alteration to the original standard or to supply consulting
information.
C57.12.44-2005
IEEE
Standard Requirements for Secondary Network Protectors
Revision of IEEE Std C57.12.44-2000 The performance, electrical and mechanical
interchangeability, and the safety of the equipment are covered. The proper
selection of such equipment is established as a basis for use in this
standard.
Certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics are described;
and certain safety features of three-phase, 60 Hz, low-voltage (600 V
and below) network protectors are taken into consideration. This equipment
is used for automatically connecting and disconnecting a network transformer
from a secondary spot or grid network.
1566-2005
IEEE
Standard for Performance of Adjustable Speed AC Drives Rated 375 kW and
Larger
This standard applies to AC adjustable speed drive (ASD) systems rated
over 375 kW and above 750 V output voltage as used in petrochemical and
similar applications. It covers the performance requirements for an ASD
system including, but not limited to, input transformer or reactor as
required, power electronics, control interfaces, cooling system, switchgear,
and motor.
National Electrical
Safety Code (NESC®)
Published exclusively by the IEEE, the National
Electrical Safety Code (NESC©) sets the ground rules for practical
safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, or maintenance
of electric supply and communication Lines and associated equipment. The
NESC contains the basic provisions that are considered necessary for the
safety of employees and the public under the specified conditions.

The
IEEE Wireless Dictionary
The goal of this book is to provide meaning for the acronyms and jargon
used in the wireless industry with a particular emphasis on commercial
systems. Individuals who need to have broad view of the wireless landscape
will find that this book covers most of the topics and terms that are
important in today’s market.
The
2007 National Electrical Safety Code Handbook has been updated
and is now available for advance orders through the IEEE -- launch date
1 August 2006. The code, which is used throughout the U.S. and
in over 100 countries, offers practical guidance on how to safeguard employees
and the public when electrical supply and communication lines are designed,
installed, operated and maintained. It is updated every five years to
reflect changes in the electrical and communications industries.

EMERALD BOOK
IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment
The purpose of the IEEE Emerald Book is to recommend design, installation,
and maintenance practices for powering and grounding sensitive equipment
in commercial and industrial facilities. The main objective is to provide
a consensus of recommended practices in an area where, previously, conflicting
information and confusion have dominated.
