Bill Chiu, Director of Engineering, Southern California Edison–Transmission & Distribution: 由科技演化到綠能革命:未來能源的變革

Bill Chiu is the Director of Engineering at Southern California Edison (SCE), with responsibility for all engineering disciplines involved in electric grid infrastructure and technical requirements for SCE’s power delivery transmission, substations, and distribution system, including the interconnections of renewable resources. 

Through his leadership, together with his dynamic team, their accomplishments have broken new ground, establishing new industry standards that have lead the way for others to follow, including: partnering in a federal demonstration project for the largest battery storage system in North America, designing and engineering a 500-kilovolt underground transmission line in Chino Hills—the first project of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and developing SCE’s grid modernization to pave the way for a two-way flow of power to and from customers. 

Bill is an active member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and recently served as the Chairman of the IEEE/PES Transformers Committee from 2012 to 2013. In that capacity, he was responsible for leading one of the largest IEEE standards development organizations that sponsored more than 90 industry standards that are used world-wide in the power industry. In 2014, Bill received the IEEE USA Regional Leadership Award for his personal contributions to the power industry.
