Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss critical issues and the role technology plays in today’s energy sectors. Specific emphasis is placed on security, mobile dispatch solutions, and the so-called “Smart Grid.” The industry continues to grow in both size and complexity, creating a multitude of challenges for companies as they struggle to keep the lights on. The utility business has traditionally lagged behind other sectors in the adoption and implementation of new technologies. However, mounting economic, environmental, social, and political pressures have thrust this once lumbering dinosaur out into the spotlight. Energy companies must look to innovative technology solutions to help them keep pace with our growing society. The chapter also touches upon how these issues create meaningful educational and employment opportunities.
