Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/near mint. Research and Development Advances in Electric Power Systems. Edited by Jill S. Tietjen, Marija D. Ilic, Lina Bertling Tjernberg and Noel N. Schulz. This volume examines core areas of development in electric power systems, emphasizing the pivotal contributions of women engineers to the industry?s evolution. The authors cover a broad spectrum of key topics, including generation technologies, transmission and distribution progress, environmental challenges, worldwide electrification, and workforce issues. Advances in conventional and renewable energy technologies, in parallel with growing environmental concerns, and in conjunction with the aging of both the infrastructure itself and the workforce, have led to imposing and fascinating challenges for the engineers of tomorrow. This book documents the critical role of women engineers and their pioneering discoveries, relates their stories of success and struggle in their own words, and shares their perspectives on how these challenges will be addressed in the decades ahead. XIV,495 Seiten mit 178 Farb- und 53 s/w-Abb., gebunden (Women in Engineering and Science/Springer-Verlag 2023). Statt EUR 139,09. Gewicht: 933 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.…

An electrical engineer, she has spent more than 45 years in the electric utility industry where she provided planning consulting services to electric utilities and organizations comprising the electric utility industry and served as an expert witness before public utility commissions and other government agencies. In 2015, she served as the CEO of the National Women’s Hall of Fame, based in Seneca Falls, New York (the birthplace of women’s rights). Today, she is a worldwide advocate for telling women’s stories and writing women into history. An author and international speaker, Tietjen is the co-author of the award-winning and bestselling books Her Story: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America and Hollywood: Her Story, An Illustrated History of Women and the Movies. Her introduction to engineering textbook, Keys to Engineering Success, was published by Prentice Hall in 2001. Her ebook for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Women in Engineering series titled Recognizing and Taking Advantage of Opportunities was published in 2016. She is the series editor for Springer’s Women in Engineering and Science series and wrote the inaugural volume (published in 2016), Engineering Women: Re-visioning Women’s Scientific Achievements and Impacts. She has since written a second volume in the series, Scientific Women: Re-visioning Women’s Scientific Achievements and Impacts (published in 2020). She blogged for The Huffington Post from 2014-2018. Her award-winning book Over, Under, Around, and Through: How Hall of Famers Surmount Obstacles was published in 2022. Tietjen graduated from the University of Virginia (Tau Beta Pi, Virginia Alpha) with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics (minor in Electrical Engineering) and received her M.B.A. from the University of North Carolina – Charlotte.
