The Distinguished Lecturer Program (DPL) was started in order to provide support to PES Chapters so

that they could develop interesting and informative technical programs for their members. Over the years

it has proven to increase educational awareness of the PES general membership through a variety of topics

with perspectives ranging from research to the practical application of technology. All across the differentregions, chapters are actively engaging their members through such lectures.

In September 2010, the Calcutta PES Chapter hosted D r . H e r m a n n D om m e l, originator of the Electro

Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP). Over 200 participants from academia and industry were present

at his talk on Switching Surges in Power Systems.

The New Zealand PES chapters organized 4 seminars on Demand Side Management and Smart Grids by

D r. Bru n o Meyer , Deputy Director of Key Accounts, the French Transmission System Operator (RTE). The

successful seminars were hosted in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Brisbane (Australia) and co-

of the IEEE Power and Energy Society, Malaysia chapter and an Outstanding Engineer Award 2009

recipient, has passed away at the age of 55. Dr. Sallehhudin B. Yusof spent most of his career

working in the power industry as engineer, researcher and teacher.

He was the President of APS which specializes in power system solutions in planning, design and

operation. His latest interest was in the application of Smart Grid technologies especially in

facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources. His death is a big loss to the powerengineers in Malaysia.
