The IEEE PES Power System Communications (PSCC) and Substations Committees have established a joint Working Group and PAR (P1777) to assess how and where wireless data communications could be used in power system operations, covering T&D substations equipment, distribution field equipment, protection, maintenance, large power plants, distributed power plants, customer metering, and any other equipment used in power system operations.

P1777 is co-chaired by Frances Cleveland (PSCC) of Xanthus Consulting International and Marc Lacroix (PSSC) of Hydro-Quebec.
