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. |

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.
