A closer look at PES: a run down of PES activities

摘要

I AM WRITING THIS ARTICLE IN mid-April following the IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) Executive Committee Meeting. This is a good opportunity to discuss activities and accomplishments in the first quarter of 2007. Before I joined the PES Governing Board, I never realized all the different activities occurring in parallel. I would read about bits and pieces in different publications, or hear about some activities from industry friends, but I never found a single place offering a good overview of the major PES activities going on at one time. This article attempts to cover the major activities that were discussed at the Executive Committee Meeting. In addition, I am pleased to announce we have a new executive director, Pat Ryan, who will join PES on 30 April.
