NERC - the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) mission is to ensure the reliability of the bulk power system in North America.
To achieve that, NERC develops and enforces reliability standards; assesses adequacy annually via a 10-year forecast and winter and summer forecasts; monitors the bulk power system; audits owners, operators, and users for preparedness; and educates, trains, and certifies industry personnel.
NERC is a self-regulatory organization, subject to oversight by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and governmental authorities in Canada.
Multi-Phase Development Approach Will Address Short and Long-Term Goals.

IEEE PES Power Systems Relaying
A Technical Committee of the Power & Energy Society.
Now bearing the title C37.2-IEEE Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations, this standard was perhaps the first substation configuration language when published by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1928 as AIEE No. 26. It provided a means to describe, on an elementary diagram, the control and protection systems in automatic substations. Yes, even with just electromechanical relays, the control systems in these unattended substations could start and put on line rotary dc converters as the trolley or subway car loads grew (and take them off line in light load periods), detect dc overcurrent events and trip the affected 600 volt feeder. Then, based on the fault current's rate of rise, block reclosing for downed trolley conductors but reclose for slower rates of rise (most likely a misoperation by a motorman).
