IEEE-1127-2013 pdf download IEEE Guide for the Design, Construction, and Operation of Electric Power Substations for Community Acceptance and Environmental Compatibility
1.3 Organization
The guide is generally organized in chronological order from site selecfion to design and consfruction andfinally operations and mainenance; however, many of the activitics discussed in the guide overlap. Forexample, the permiting activities in Clause 5 occur throughout the process with some permitconsiderations occurring at the beginning of site selection and others taking place during construction.Also, many design considerations require more of an iterative process rather than a chronological oneTherefore, users of this guide should be aware that some overlap of information exists between clauses
