The SF PEN Mark
It is the first of the year and I am just returning from
the Technical Committee meeting in San Diego. It was a great meeting for the Engineering in the Safety,
Maintenance and Operations of Lines (ESMOL) Subcommittee and
Towers, Poles & Conductors (TP&C) Subcommittee,
but unfortunately it was lightly attended by the other subcommittees due to a scheduling conflict with DistribuTECH.
IEEE PES assisted with the organizing of this meeting so T&D Committee and
Substation Committee could continue
with their standards work since the IEEE Winter Power Meeting does not exist anymore. Last year we met in
Las Vegas with a very successful meeting, but the future is not certain due to the light attendance this year.
We are working with
IEEE PES to see if there will be a meeting for the committee next year. The IEEE
2004 PES General Meeting will be held
in Denver, CO, June 6-10, 2004. It appears that this will be well attended by most of the
Technical Committees.
This issue is the second electronic version of The SF PEN.
