IEEE Power & Energy Magazine - September/October 2021 - 6

resilience are detailed. Ideas are
presented for new mechanisms to
manage operating risks and realize
increased resilience.
✔ " Distributed Energy Resources
Roadmap " : This article focuses
on the operation of Australia's
South West Interconnected System,
given the continually higher
levels of installed distributed energy
resources. The article discusses
technical operating issues
and customer education efforts.
The need for a broad and comprehensive
" buy-in " by all stakeholders
to successfully plan long-term
grid transitions is emphasized.
A use case for the communitylevel
microgrid integration of distributed
energy resources is also
presented for one of Australia's
many isolated grid systems.
✔ " In My View " : This column provides
a perspective of Australia's
energy transition over the past
five years. It presents five universal
features for transitioning
to a low-carbon power system.
Homage
As the July/August issue of IEEE Power
& Energy Magazine was being prepared
for press, we learned of the death
of Mike Henderson, my predecessor
and mentor as editor-in-chief. Fellow
editors and his longtime friends Mel
Olken and John Paserba remember him
in the " Society News " column.
Henderson and I were contemporaries
in the power field. Coincidentally,
we both started working at American
Electric Power Service Corporation
in Manhattan as entry-level engineers.
New York memories would make for a
common bond as we met at IEEE Power
& Energy Society (PES) meetings
and attended panels that the other
chaired. He arranged his panels as performances:
developing an interesting
theme, assembling talented speakers,
structuring complementary contributions,
and communicating take-away
messages. He brought the same focuson-the-audience
persona to the regional
transmission planning sessions
he chaired for ISO New England,
and importantly, to this magazine.
He left the stage too soon. Although
he can no longer answer my calls,
his voice reverberates.
