Auburn Engineering’s reach continues to spread internationally. Mark Halpin, Alabama Power Company distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, is the first representative from the United States to be appointed convener, or chairman, of a working group of the International Electrotechnical Commission. He was elected after an international vote from 28 participating countries. The group focuses on limiting the effects of voltage changes in power systems. Under Halpin’s direction, the group will work to develop industry standards for all consumer electronic products to limit these voltage changes. Power companies spanning the globe will be positively affected by these new standards, as they aim to manage and eliminate voltage disturbances to customers.
