Technical impact of the NIST calibration service for electrical power and energy

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:229286
A survey was conducted to assess the economic impact of the NIST Power and Energy Calibration service. Information was sought from electric utilities, manufacturers, testing laboratories, and Public Utilities Commissions on the structure of their operations and the economic aspects of the existence of traceability to National Standards by NIST. The information returned by the respondents was not sufficiently comprehensive and consistent to allow broad generalization leading to reliable assessment of the economic impact of the NIST services. However, the technical impact of these services was sufficiently documented to present this report describing the infrastructure and the relationships among the stakeholders.
