IEEE Shares Global Findings for the Power and Energy Industry in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
IEEE Power and Energy Society identifies critical impacts on the global electrical grid and provides steps to ensure grid reliability and human safety
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is committed to supporting a global response to COVID-19. A freely available new IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) white paper titled "Sharing Knowledge on Electrical Energy Industry’s First Response to COVID-19," draws upon input from global energy industry stakeholders in an effort to share insights to assist utilities and operators in meeting emerging challenges.
“The COVID-19 pandemic shows how, now more than ever, the reliable, resilient, and cost-effective delivery of electrical energy is critical for our society,” said Frank Lambert, president IEEE PES, and principal research engineer at Georgia Tech’s Center for Distributed Energy. “The team’s quick action to share knowledge on the industry’s first response is helping to ensure the reliable and safe distribution of electricity to communities worldwide.”
