On Thursday, April 27, Maseeh Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Gerald Bernard Sheblé delivered a lecture titled “Location! Location! Energy System Information & Valuation.” The lecture, held in the new Fariborz Maseeh Auditorium, with a reception following, held in the engineering building atrium, was well attended by regional utility representatives.

The following is an exerpt from the invitation:

"The Kyoto Protocol, electric industry deregulation, globalization, renewable energy, "green" buildings, demand-side management, mass transit, hybrid vehicles, distributed generation, and the internet provide an unprecendented variety of energy conversion and transportation systems. The challenge lies not only in locating conversions from raw fuel to other energy forms, but in locating the conversion that is most effective, efficient, and easily grown. This lecture will examine information flows as suppliers and buyers interact to plan and operate the energy grids of the future."
