So lets see how the orcs and trolls are massing to control this sea change in electrical power generation, transmission, distribution and use.
[We are now seeing the transition from dedicated analog appliances to general purpose digital, where an edge device will transition the analog signals into the digital domain to allow commoditized computation platforms to do the system protection and control. Commoditization will drive costs down and integration will increase due to simplified scaling.]
{We can divide our [partial] list of players into nontraditional and traditional competition. Probably the one over riding characteristic of the nontraditionalist’s is their use of standards to accomplish commoditization, scaling, and depress prices.}

Brown Bag at the Movies – Selected technical topics(1)
At the office — to while away my lunch hour (since I can’t go home for lunch) — I’ve started viewing compelling videos I find around the internet. I got a conference room with a projector and invited anyone around to come watch. I do this every couple of weeks.
This was my invitation:
In the spirit of “It is always good to see how someone else cooks in there kitchen” I’m reserving a conference room for every other Tuesday during lunch to view videos on interesting technical topics.
On YouTube, Google has been hosting their internal TechTalks which present subject matter experts talking about their work. Another conference that presents compelling ideas is TED. If you know of any videos that we’d find interesting/educational let me know and we’ll work them in! If you know someone that’s doing something interesting/educational/compelling let me know and maybe we can get them in to start our own TeckTalk series.
I kicked off this series with Meaningful Innovation: Whether to Design or Evolve? (below). See my page Future Candidates for additional video recommendations.
