For well over a
decade, DSTAR has brought valuable, timely results and products to
its members. DSTAR projects have included laboratory testing,
field testing, analytical investigations of many important
equipment application and protection standard issues, as well as
the development of software products focused on providing the
means for the member utilities to operate more efficiently within
the ever-tightening constraints of manpower limitations and
procurement budgets.
All DSTAR research projects are initiated by the member utilities,
based on their needs. Project concepts are developed and subjected
to multiple levels of screening and prioritization by the DSTAR
Committee to select projects best providing return on the member
utilities' research investment.
