39th Annual Frontiers of Power Conference
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Distributed resources (generation and storage) are being increasingly employed in power systems to achieve adequate reliability/security and improve economic and environmental aspects. The 2006 Frontiers of Power Conference will feature, among other topics, presentations related to this theme, with special focus on wind energy—presently the dominant distributed generation technology.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER – Larry Dickerman Director Distribution Engineering Services American Electric Power Columbus, Ohio
INVITED PRESENTER Raymond L. Huhnke, PhD, PE Professor Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma
The Frontiers of Power Conference seeks to provide for the frank and open discussion of the current problems facing the electric utility industry. Over the years, the scope of this conference has expanded to include several critical problem areas of power technology. These problems are not only technical but political and economic as well. Engineers, engineering managers, and supervisors associated with planning, designing, or operating power generating stations and transmission and distribution systems will find this program of special relevance to their work. Participation is invited from all those associated with electric utilities, electric power production facilities, power equipment manufacturers, consultants for municipal and rural electric utilities, universities, and government agencies. This Thirty-Ninth Annual Conference is a continuation of a program first started in the early 1960’s at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater.
