IEEE PES Award for Excellence in Power Distribution Engineering

Distribution represents a major utility investment for the transpor-tation of electrical power. It is critical to the quality, reliability and economy of the product. This award was established to recognize those individuals who have contributed to the growth and value of the technology.

Since many people have contributed to the advancement of distri-bution technology, this award is not named honoring one individu-al. It is awarded annually by the IEEE PES to recognize the indi-vidual who has made a remarkable engineering contribution to the field of distribution technology. The selection committee considers all candidates brought to its attention whose work will result in sub-stantial improvements to the effectiveness and utilization of power distribution.

The award is funded by long-term grant commitments received from the Asplundh Co., Chance Co., Commonwealth Edison Co., Georgia Power Co., Kearney-National Inc., Pacific Gas & Electric Co., PECO Energy Co., and the S&C Electric Co.

The award consists of a plaque, an honorarium of $1,000 USD and a travel subsidy to attend the PES Awards Ceremony.

IEEE PES Cyril Veinott Electromechanical Energy Conversion Award

This award recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of elec-tromechanical energy conversion. Research and developments on electric motors continued throughout the 20th century and into the 21st to the point that such devices have now become an integral part of our lives. The current ubiquitous presence of the electric motor in everything we do has resulted from the work of dedicated engineers throughout the world. The award is named for the man responsible for numerous practical improvements in the design and application of electric motors over 50 years. Dr. Cyril Veinott made seminal contributions to the devel-opment of polyphase induction motors, 400 Hz aircraft motors, and was a pioneer in the application of digital computers to the design of electric motors. He was responsible for the early measurements and mitigation of electric motor noise. He helped write many IEEE and NEMA standards for electric motors. He was the first person to be inducted into the Hall of Fame created by the Small Motor Manu-facturers Association in 1985. The Cyril Veinott Electromechanical Energy Conversion Award consists of a plaque and an honorarium of $5,000 USD.

CLYDE V. MAUGHAN has had a 63-

year career in turbine-generators. He

worked 36 years with GE in the are-

as of generator design, development,

manufacturing and service. He man-

aged the project to develop the Mi-

capal II stator insulation system, and

contributed to the development of

several present GE design features,

e.g., the Tetraloc end winding sup-

port system, the end winding grading

system, stator slot wedging system. He retired from GE in 1986. He

has since worked 27 years as a consultant on several hundred genera-

tor service problems. His focus has primarily been on the difficult

area of failure root cause investigation of the complex turbine-

generator. He has also provided extensive support in the area of

training younger engineers.

For 15 years he has focused on documenting for the next generations

of generator service personnel the knowledge of his generation of

generator engineers. He has authored 24 technical papers on a broad

range of generator design and service issues. He authored a 210-page,

250 photo CD text on generator maintenance. He presented a 2-1/2

day seminar 30 times to about 1000 maintenance personnel from

utilities and OEMs in the United States, Korea, Australia, South Afri-

ca and Israel.

Mr. Maughan has observed and participated in the huge evolution of

the power-generation industry – the magnificent technological ad-

vancements, the struggles resulting from taking cost out of the gener-

ator, and the sometimes controversial business commercial changes.

He graduated from the University of Idaho in 1950, BS and Union

College, 1967, MS.

The IEEE PES Leadership in Power Award was established in 2007

to recognize industry leaders for exceptional contributions to the pro-

motion of the electric power engineering profession. The award is

particularly intended to highlight actions which have encouraged the

development and growth of electric power engineering practitioners

and the recognition of the contributions electric power engineers have

made to society. In this era, electric utility leaders who recognize the

crucial importance of power engineering in the safe, reliable and eco-

nomical generation, transmission and distribution of electricity are rare

and this award is to recognize them for their insight and wisdom.

These activities paved the way to involve individuals from academia and industries to provide value to both members and non members in the Kerala power community. Chapter membership was an area of focus increased again this year. The Chair and the Exec-utive Committee provide excellent leadership for the chapter and for the benefit of its members and others. Some examples of 2012 activities include: - 4 Technical programs including presentations and seminars on vari-ous topics - 2 tutorials and a seminar including topics to provide value to both students and industry - Wide ranging activities focused on Students. Student support and involvement in a number of the chapter’s activities were seen through-out the year, with high student participation in meetings and events - A public Affairs program focusing on reducing energy usage and bills in homes - Membership recognition was achieved by utilizing the Outstanding Chapter Engineer Award and several other means throughout the year - A focus on membership growth and advancement which has resulted in continuous increases in both for several years. This year the chapter saw a membership increase of 19%. The chapter provided multiple programs on the value of IEEE membership - Chapter involvement with the INDICON 2012, IEEE India Council International Conference held at Rajagiri School of Engineering & Technology, Kochi - A chapter web site highlighting upcoming activities and other infor-mation for members All these activities are especially impressive given the small size of the chapter - about 50 members!
