 Synopsis of the Industry:
In 1879 Edison created his now famous incandescent light bulb, which burned for 40 hours.
He continued work to refine his light bulb. He also began exploring ideas for an equally
important invention: a way to generate and transmit the electricity his light bulb would need.
Today, America enjoys some of the most reliable and affordable electricity in the world. The
aggregate market for electric power and its financial derivatives can be estimated at roughly
a half trillion dollars.
Since electricity is an important part of our daily lives and vital for the growth of enterprise,
the electric power industry plays a major role in increasing our future quality of life and
comfort. As part of its response to the blackouts, energy crises, and environmental
concerns over the past 40 years, the electric power system has become highly dependent
on sophisticated computer and communications systems. Electric power is consumed at
the instant it is produced and the computer and communications systems serve to ensure
that the production and consumption are instantaneously balanced, that the system is
being operated as reliably and efficiently as possible, and that the relevant accounting,
maintenance and business operations are appropriately supported.
