PPL engineers improve safety, operations through creativity and innovation

PPL Electric Utilities built off current downed wire detection technology to develop an algorithm that automatically shuts off power to downed power lines – a first-of-its-kind advancement in the utility industry. That’s exactly what PPL Electric Utilities’ Distribution Control Center engineering group did in September 2020, when they created a way for older electromechanical circuit breaker relays to help reroute power in tandem with the company’s smart grid technology. He was studying one of PPL Electric Utilities’ poles, wondering about the effect of a large number of communications cables attached to the pole, whether the attachments meet the clearance codes, and whether there is a more efficient method for construction. He and his Distribution Standards team set out to design something that would allow multiple attachments with less impact on the pole with a much cleaner design that would extend pole life and improve safety.

5 ways to advance your career in a virtual environment

Below are five tips on how to advance your career in a virtual environment from PPL’s David Arthur, vice president of federal government relations; Marlene Beers, vice president and controller and LEAD executive sponsor; and Angie Gosman, vice president of Human Resources for PPL Electric Utilities. That’s why it’s important to reach out to others virtually and ask advice on how to handle certain work matters or ask for feedback to help discover areas where you can improve. Beers said one of the best ways to advance your career in a virtual environment is to perform excellent work and display leadership, and employees should be deliberate in creating new opportunities in this virtual work environment. That’s why it’s important to take time to reconnect through virtual happy hours, lunches or even unstructured discussion times with fellow employees to network or just share small talk.

A lesson in courage: Civil rights activist shares her experience joining Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in historic march for equality

On March 7, 1965, in Selma, more than 600 of her “brothers and sisters” were violently restrained and attacked for peacefully marching for Black voting rights. On March 24, 1965, Brooks joined thousands in a five-day, 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in a nonviolent demonstration to achieve voting rights for Black people. Brooks joined the march from the St. Jude campus, which hosted the Stars for Freedom rally on the night of March 24, the final night of the Selma to Montgomery marches. The events of March 24, 1965, along with others, helped lead to the passing of the Voting Rights Act that was signed into law on August 6, 1965.
