The Award for Excellence in Power Distribution Engineering is presented annually to one engineer who has demonstrated one or more of the following: vision to see opportunities to substantially improve the effectiveness and utilization of electric power distribution and the ability to articulate and manage its fulfillment; strong impact on the design of distribution system components, circuit configurations, or engineering and operating practices; innovation that led to significant increases in reliability or reductions in the costs of engineering, installing or operating electric power distribution systems. This work could have taken place in any field of electric power distribution, including: voltage control, underground, overcurrent protection, metering, surge protection, connections and terminators, cables, switching, system automation, software, and transformers.
If you know an engineer who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of electric power distribution, complete this nomination form and forward it to Jim Burke.
The Award for Excellence in Power Distribution Engineering is an authorized function of the IEEE Power Engineering Society and is structured under their Awards & Recognition Administrative Committee as shown on page 6 of the 1998 PES Organization Manual. It is not a function of the IEEE Transmission and Distribution Committee.
If you know a PES engineer who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of distribution automation, contact Larry Clark.
