D-Day at the Substation-Historic Challenges and Lessons

摘要

Now that we are at another anniversary of D-Day, it is clear that Churchill had it right. It is through the experience of addressing these problems and adjusting approaches in our responses to them that we arrive at the best solution. He said it better than that when he noted in his memo starting the D-Day engineering project that "the difficulties will argue for themselves." What project was Churchill's D-Day memo about? The memo was actually about Mulberry Harbor (see sidebar), an amazing logistics achievement. May our industry's achievements in substation hardening and grid resiliency show the same level of mettle.
