CLIFFORD received a BEE degree in electrical engineering in 1958 from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. At present he is a leader of the technical staff at Electronic Associates, Inc., working on power-plant training simulators. He was systems engineer on a recently completed program to develop a hybrid power-systems simulator (PSS) for real-time, steady-state, and dynamic simulations of bulk-power transmission systems. Included in this program was the investigation of the application of PSS as an energy-dispatcher training simulator. A. BEN CLYMER was presented in Part 1 in the August 1980 issue. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Throughout most of the first century of electric utility companies, new system operators and other personnel responsible for transmission and distribution were trained on the job, without benefit of simulators, up through a succession of jobs having progressively wider geographical responsibility.
