Next Meeting: Thursday, June 26, Distance Element Improvements - A Case Study

David Costello, a Senior Application Engineer with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. will help us understand how he used exhaustive root-cause analysis to uncover the causes of damage from a lightning strike and subsequent power outage at a petrochemicals plant. Please see the announcement for more information about the presentation and David's biography. .

The meeting will be held at Grady's Bar-B-Q on San Pedro (no. 4). If you plan to attend, please RSVP to John A. Brogan, 210-353-3375 or jabrogan@ieee.org.


PES Changes its Name and Logo
The Power Engineering Society will now be known as the Power & Energy Society.The new PES Logo is shown at the top of the page. New trends related to increased public interest and awareness of energy topics, aging workforce in the power industry, and recruitment of young professionals to the field are critical for the survival of our industry and the PES. IEEE believes that the new name will provide a better focus toward our mission scope, our field of interest, our relationship with the public and our ability to recruit and maintain new members. For more detail see the December 15, 2007 letter to the membership that appeared in the January/February 2008 Power and Energy Magazine.

Continuing Education
Certificates. This meeting is credited as one hour. You may pick up your CE certificates for IEEE meetings at the meeting.

Many Thanks to Jim Bowen of Powel Electrical Systems, Inc.

Thanks a lot to Jim Bowen of Powel Electrical Systems, Inc., who led our discussion on Coordination issues involving Standby Generators / Automatic Transfer Switches / and UPS Systems. Jim is with Powel Electrical Systems, Inc. Jim was kind enough to leave a copy of his presentation, the paper supporting it, and a fantastic photo of what happens when a high voltage span has too much slack.
