Does the Grid Need Smarter Engineers?

摘要

This past summer has given me ample opportunity to do something I really enjoy: travel. One of the best trips I took was to the Power & Energy Society's (PES) annual general meeting. As a consulting engineer and T&D World's technical writer, the PES meeting helps me stay current with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art tech toys. There are also a heck of a lot of stimulating people to talk with one on one. This year's meeting had the added bonus of being held in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., which has always been a favorite place of mine with its history, museums and fantastic seafood around every corner. More than 3500 attendees descended on the city, so it would seem many people agree with me.
