Technologies to be most impacted by smart grid fall into two specific areas: information and operations. Those areas of a utility or power organization are most often overseen by a chief information officer or a chief technology officer. So, POWERGRID International magazine sought out a handful of those people to discuss intelligent grid developments. We didn’t expect to hear that smart grid developments are creating such a time crunch for power executives. Still, we were able to interview four executives about what’s going on in their worlds today: Andres Carvallo, former Austin Energy CIO, Wanyonyi Kendrick, Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) CIO, Richard Dewey, New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) CIO and David Mohler, Duke Energy CTO.
