DESCRIPTION:Brian Zook and Kevin Donahue\, both of Southwest Research Insti
 tute and IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) members\, will present the te
 chnical highlights they observed at the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribu
 tion (T&D) conference that occurred in Chicago May 4-7. The T&D meeting oc
 curs every other year\, and it is a large IEEE PES conference\, presumably
  one of the largest regularly scheduled conferences for the electric power
  industry: over 17\,000 participants and 900+ exhibitors\, covering all as
 pects of the transmission and distribution grids\, engineering\, and equip
 ment. The topics ranged from cutting-edge technologies (e.g.\, a supercond
 ucting inter-tie in an in-service substation) to the exciting challenges o
 f the electric power grid (data centers!).\n\nThe meeting is in the Archiv
 es conference room (Bldg. 51) on the campus of Southwest Research Institut
 e. Visitors to the SwRI campus need to register so that the guards at the 
 main gate (6220 Culebra Road) have their names and will let them in. The m
 eeting starts at 11:30. Lunch is not provided\, but there are tables\, and
  attendees are encouraged to bring their lunch.\n\nSpeaker(s): Brian Zook\
