Decarbonized Sustainability In The Maritime Sector via Electrification

• To learn more & get involved, please check out the IEEE PES Marine Systems Coordinating Committee website.
• Within MSCC the working group (WG) preparing the amendment of IEEE 45.2 is active (convening every second Friday and having the amended document almost finalized). Similarly, the WG preparing the amendment of IEEE 45.1 is also active (convening also every second Friday, too). A new working group on amending IEEE 45.7 is also under consideration. For more information, please reach out to IEEE PES Marine Systems Coordinating Committee (MSCC), Vice-Chair, Professor John Prousalidis, .
• A plenary meeting of MSCC is planned to take place in early October 2022.
  • IEEE plans to announce a series of tutorials/webinars that will take place (via WebEx) which will focus mainly (but not completely) on IEEE 45 topics. Stay tuned for more information from the IEEE Marine System Coordinating Committee (MSCC) in the future.
