IEEE Power & Energy Magazine - March/April 2022 - 6

network. It covered a 30-block area of
primarily residential customers with
some commercial businesses, mostly
stores. In this month's " History " column,
we explore the 100th anniversary
of this significant milestone in distribution
systems.
Timely Update on Power
Systems Economics
Editorial Board member Edvina Uzunovic
offers her views on the second
edition of Fundamentals of Power
System Economics by Daniel Kirschen
and Goran Strbac. An update of power
system economics and the related market
systems is timely for a couple of
reasons. First, the shift toward renewable
energy is changing the electric
power system landscape with impacts
to the generation mix and the need for
operational flexibility to address the
variability associated with the new
generation. Second, smart systems are
penetrating all aspects of the electric
grid and empowering the coordination
of distributed generation, storage, and
loads to deliver this flexibility.
In Conclusion
Significant effort has gone into developing
this issue on NWAs. Ralph
Masiello and Amin Khodaei have assembled
a fine set of authors to cover
a broad range of NWA per spectives.
While mainly North American
in origin, the diversity of the topics
and complexity of the issues can be
shared worldwide. We thank them for
their contributions.
The magazine is also thankful to
those individuals who regularly submit
material to us for publishing consideration.
The feature article on SMRs is an
example of such a submission. It educates
us about developments in the nuclear
energy area that have not been covered
in recent issues. We look forward to
developing material in a future issue on
the theme of advancements in generation
and energy conversion in general.
We tip our cap to Assistant Editor
Susan O'Bryan for her editorial prowess
and exceptional hard work on this issue.
Recognition also goes to Associate Editor
John Paserba for his yeoman efforts to
cultivate contributions to the " History "
column, Associate Editor Brian Johnson
for overseeing the book reviews, and
Journals Production Manager, Kristin
LaFleur, and the fine folks at IEEE Publishing
who polish the raw content into
the product before you.
