PRICE $2.00 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 155 EAST 44th STREET NEW YORK 17, N. Y. Copyright 1946 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Printed in U. S. A. Excerpts from this book may be used without permission PREFACE presenting this Electrical Chronology, the National Elec- JNtrical Manufacturers Association, which has undertaken its compilation, has exercised all possible care in obtaining the data included. Basic sources of information have been search- ed; where possible, those in a position to know have been con- sulted; the works of others, who had a part in developments referred to in this Chronology, and who are now deceased, have been examined. There may be some discrepancies as to dates and data because it has been impossible to obtain unchallenged record of the per- son to whom should go the credit. In cases where there are several claimants every effort has been made to list all of them. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association accepts no responsibility as being a party to supporting the claims of any person, persons or organizations who may disagree with any of the dates, data or any other information forming a part of the Chronology, and leaves it to the reader to decide for him- self on those matters which may be controversial. No compilation of this kind is ever entirely complete or final and is always subject to revisions and additions. It should be understood that the Chronology consists only of basic data from which have stemmed many other electrical developments and uses.

  • Visions of Electric Media Electric of Visions
    TELEVISUAL CULTURE Roberts Visions of Electric Media Ivy Roberts Visions of Electric Media Television in the Victorian and Machine Ages Visions of Electric Media Televisual Culture Televisual culture encompasses and crosses all aspects of television – past, current and future – from its experiential dimensions to its aesthetic strategies, from its technological developments to its crossmedial extensions. The ‘televisual’ names a condition of transformation that is altering the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture. Shifts in production practices, consumption circuits, technologies of distribution and access, and the aesthetic qualities of televisual texts foreground the dynamic place of television in the contemporary media landscape. They demand that we revisit concepts such as liveness, media event, audiences and broadcasting, but also that we theorize new concepts to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the televisual. The series aims at seriously analyzing both the contemporary specificity of the televisual and the challenges uncovered by new developments in technology and theory in an age in which digitization and convergence are redrawing the boundaries of media.

  • 1 “Update on the Restoration of Puerto Rico's Electric Infrastructure” Carlos D. Torres Consultant, Edison Electric Instit
    “Update on the Restoration of Puerto Rico’s Electric Infrastructure” Carlos D. Torres Consultant, Edison Electric Institute Power Restoration Coordinator, Puerto Rico Summary Since November 2017, I have served as the Power Restoration Coordinator in Puerto Rico and as a member of the Unified Command Group. Prior to my current position, I worked for more than 30 years for Consolidated Edison in New York. During my career, I managed emergency and storm restoration efforts and oversaw Con Edison’s response to major storms including Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Irene, and emergencies such as the 9/11 attacks and the 2003 Northeast blackout. However, the damage caused by Hurricane Maria is unlike anything any of us in the industry has ever seen on the mainland United States. Without question, this power restoration mission has been the most challenging of my career. Having lived on the island now for more than five months, I can tell you that the people of Puerto Rico are the most resilient people I have ever met in my life. While their resiliency is admirable, nobody deserves to be without electricity for this long, and I and everyone involved in the restoration effort remain committed to working as one team, with one mission—providing power to our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico. As of April 8, PREPA reports that 96.4 percent of its customers—or approximately 1.42 million out of more than 1.47 million customers—who can receive electricity have had their power restored. While significant progress has been made across the island, restoring power to the remaining customers, most of whom are in the hardest-hit and most remote areas, remains challenging and labor- and time-intensive.

  • Con Edison Named Most Reliable Utility in North America
    Con Edison Named Most Reliable Utility in North America November 15, 2002 NEW YORK, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) announced today that it has been named the most reliable utility in North America by an international consultant, PA Consulting Group. The utility, which has 3.1 million electric customers in New York City and Westchester County, New York, was awarded the ReliabilityOne citation during a ceremony November 14 in New York City. PA Consulting found that Con Edison's reliability is approximately 10 times the national average. For example, fewer than one customer in seven (less than 13 percent) may experience an outage during the year. "Recognizing Con Edison as the most reliable electric utility is a tribute to the thousands of men and women who work for our company," said Kevin Burke, president and chief operating officer of Con Edison. "Our employees work around the clock to ensure that New Yorkers have electricity whenever they want it -- 24/7/365." Con Edison's electric business began in 1882 when Thomas Edison's Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York began supplying power from its Pearl Street generating station to 59 customers in a one-square-mile area of lower Manhattan. Con Edison is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE: ED), one of the nation's largest investor-owned energy companies, with more than $8 billion in annual revenues and $18 billion in assets. The utility provides electric, gas and steam service to more than 3 million customers in New York City and Westchester County, New York.

"But we strive to give much more to the communities we serve. Helping to keep our customers and their families healthy is one more way in which we extend our commitment to them. This conference is a wonderful instrument to spread the word on the tools to achieve long, disease-free lives." Keynote speaker Dr. Benjamin Chu, President of New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, said, "One of the most important things that we in the health care profession can do is to proactively join other community organizations to promote preventive health care and effective disease management.

  • Letter from the Chairman Executive Summary
    Letter from the Chairman To Our Stakeholders: Our sustainability strategy balances the needs of our stakeholders, our commitment to investing in communities and protecting the environment, and the long-term health of our company. Our primary mission is providing safe, reliable, clean, and efficient energy to meet the needs of the nearly 10 million people living in our service area. We are responsible for powering one of the most vibrant regions in the world, and our electric-delivery system is the most reliable in the country. We are gaining new customers and cleaning the air as New Yorkers convert from fuel oils to cleaner-burning natural gas. More than 150,000 customers are taking advantage of energy-saving upgrades thanks to rebates and incentives offered through our energy-efficiency programs. Last year our competitive energy businesses invested $465 million in renewable energy projects, and we are now the fifth largest solar producer in North America. We demonstrate our commitment to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. Our Power of Giving program supports nearly 1,000 nonprofit organizations whose work strengthens communities and improves lives. Our employees find time outside of the workday to clean parks, cool roofs, and mentor children. We have made measurable progress toward a cleaner environment. In addition to investing in solar power installations, we have cut our own carbon footprint in half in the last decade and are committing to an even lower target for SF6 emissions. By incorporating cleaner fuel capability at our steam generating stations and increasing the number of alternative fuel vehicles in our company fleet, we will continue our pursuit of even further reductions.
