THIS ISSUE OF IEEE POWER & ENergy Magazine marks 18 years since
founding Editor-in-Chief Mel Olken
launched this periodical. In his words
in that first issue, " Our new magazine
is 'for electric power professionals' in
response to the reality of our industry
today and as one means of meeting
the goal of the IEEE Power & Energy
Society (PES) to reach out to the nontechnical side of the electric power industry and integrate these two critical
areas. Feature articles will focus on
advanced concepts, technologies, and
practices associated with all aspects of
electric power from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical
areas, such as business, environmental, and social concerns. "
Through his leadership and the subsequent leadership of immediate past
Editor-in-Chief Mike Henderson, the
course of IEEE Power & Energy Magazine has remained true to these words.
As this millennium's version of the
Roaring '20s takes off, the mission of
this magazine persists in its objective
of clear, plain, and broadly accessible
writing on complex subjects that, when
told properly, will interest and educate
our readers. As your latest editor-inchief of this magazine, I embrace and
commit myself to this mission.
tige and validation; it is about service
and commitment to leading a process
that regularly produces high-quality
magazines for our power industry colleagues. The responsibility that goes
with this position gave me pause before
I accepted the role. Since Mike Henderson became editor-in-chief and invited me to the editorial board, he has
been a mentor. I watched the way he
guided the production of the magazine
with passion, humor, and good writing.
His love for what the magazine stands
for and the unique niche it caters to
is apparent in the devotion he exhibited to meet the relentless two-month
publication deadlines and the quality
expectations of you, our readers. I am
privileged to continue to have access to
his guidance, and his labor of love for
this magazine still drives the editorial
organization onward.
I want to also recognize John Paserba for jumping into the breach as interim editor-in-chief and managing the
past two issues of the magazine with
great competence. His commitment to
IEEE and this magazine allowed me
