The Renewable Systems Integration Coordinating Committee (RSICC) serves as a focal point within the Power and Energy Society (PES) for the identification of challenges associated with the integration of renewable energy resources (such as wind, solar, hydro, and bioenergy,) related energy carriers (such as storage, fuels, and heat) and related electrification applications (transportation, buildings and industry.)

This Committee is under the direction of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Technical Council.

Scope:

The RSICC serves as the point of coordination for other organizations dealing with similar challenges (such as AWEA, CIGRE, DOE, ESIG, FERC, NERC, NREL, IEC, SEIA, UN SDSN) and establishes liaisons to coordinate and help identify the appropriate technical resources within the PES and other IEEE societies to address the issues. The RSICC seeks opportunities to conduct jointly sponsored activities to promote the sharing of knowledge and experience among diverse organizations working on similar issues through the conduct of studies, symposia, workshops, panel discussions, and tutorials.

The RSICC identifies the need for guides, recommended practices, and standards with respect to the integration of renewables and other electrification applications. The RSICC implements required actions through cooperation with an appropriate technical committee. The RSICC does not develop standards.

The RSICC is responsible for identifying and fostering interest in such standards, education and supporting actions to further these topics, and for recommending actions to the Technical Council in regard to ensuring the timely incorporation of such issues into the scope of the Technical Council and its committees.

The RSICC may perform other duties as may be assigned by the PES Technical Council.
