n June 16, Field Engineer Gary Corlett was traveling to a meeting when he saw a downed power
line in the middle of the road near the intersection of Muscatel Avenue and Las Tunas Drive
in San Gabriel, California. He believes a large truck
towing a bus in front of him snagged the line, bringing
it down. Gary wasted no time as he positioned his
vehicle to block cars from running over the line. He
then called 911, and when police arrived at the scene,
he stopped one of the officers from picking up the
line to remove it from the road. He explained the
dangers of a downed power line and that a trained
SCE professional would need to move and repair the
line. Gary remained at the scene for two hours until
a troubleman arrived and removed the downed line
from the roadway, only leaving when he was sure
public safety had been restored.
Gary wasted no time as he

ublic Involvement Manager
Michael Huynh joined Southern
California Edison Local Public
Affairs in 2007 as a corporate
representative doing community
outreach for major transmission
projects. He now manages that same
team and understands what it takes
to succeed. “My team is a group of
professionals that know what to do,
so my job is more to coach than manage,” said Michael. “I give them the
opportunity to solve tough problems, but always
make myself available and serve as a resource to help
remove obstacles for them whenever
I can.” Michael also believes in developing his team, identifying projects
that will help them gain experience
and grow professionally.
“Michael goes above and beyond
every day,” said Michael’s Manager
Kit Cole. “Not only is he a great leader,
he’s not afraid to jump into tough
projects.” Michael recently took the
lead to reach out to Catalina Island
residents, developing materials and
holding community meetings to educate them about
water rationing during the drought.

Editor’s Note: Over the summer, Edison International Chairman and CEO Ted Craver was
injured in a non-work accident. In his own words,
this is Ted’s story.
I
was cycling in the hills behind Santa Barbara,
California, enjoying being outside after being
cooped up inside all day. I was more focused on
the ocean view than where I was going when I
hit some road debris. I never saw what I hit. I
don’t remember hitting the ground, or getting
up. I was alone. I was hurt. I was confused—
about where I was, who I was, and what I was
doing there.
I “reasoned” it wouldn’t make much sense
to call my wife to come get me because she
wouldn’t know where I was. I felt I could get back
on my bike and see how it felt to ride—about five
miles back to where I was staying. My wife was instantly impressed with what an idiot I was not to
have called her for help. At the hospital, I learned
I had a concussion, cracked ribs and a badly broken collarbone, requiring surgery on the collarbone to install a permanent plate and 12 screws.
I was lucky—I was wearing a helmet. I always
do. Had I not, this story would have been much
different. But I shouldn’t have been riding alone.
I told my wife generally where I was going, but
no specifics. I had a phone, but failed to use it.
The biggest mistake—I wasn’t paying attention to
what I was doing. I was doing something I’m familiar and relaxed with and my guard was down.
I suspect this is often what happens to our employees when they get hurt on the job—our concentration can slip when doing familiar tasks.
That’s why we conduct tailboards and safety audits. They’re intended to remind us unexpected
things can happen and we need to concentrate.
And, we need our colleagues to stop us if they see
us doing something risky or sense our minds are
wandering. I could have used a friend!

A Day in the Life of a
Construction Project Manager
How is Power
Stepped Down?
I
t’s more efficient to transmit electricity long distances at high voltages. So,
to minimize losses, utilities increase-or
step up-voltage after generation which
is commonly 32-kV, transmitting power
at up to 500,000 volts. Before this power
can be distributed and used by customers,
it must be stepped down or decreased in voltage so
that it’s compatible with industrial or household appliances.
This is done with transformers—devices used to
change one voltage to another. Southern California Edison steps down voltage one or more times
with large substation transformers, and then again
from distribution voltage, which is most commonly
12-kV, to 120/240V power that is delivered to residential customers. This final voltage reduction
is done using distribution transformers that are
attached to the pole, pad-mounted on the ground or
buried underground.
A transformer is typically made of two wound
copper coils separated by a magnetic core. The ratio of the windings to one another determines how
much the voltage is stepped up or down. For instance, if one coil has 10 times the windings of the
other, the voltage will change by a factor of 10.

t’s 6 a.m. on Wednesday. Transmission & Distribution Construction Project Manager Don
Wright listens attentively at a safety tailboard
meeting in Ontario, California, where a transmission tower is being assembled.
Don started his Southern California Edison
career 16 years ago. For the past 10 years, he’s
been assigned to the Tehachapi Renewable
Transmission Project in a variety of roles—from
acquiring right-of-way land to obtaining licenses
for construction.
As a construction project manager, Don manages
the scope, cost and schedule of construction on two
segments of TRTP—valued at more than $820 million with close to 600 people involved. Each day,
he tracks the progress of every aspect of construction, such as pouring concrete for foundations and
stringing transmission lines using helicopters. A
delay can add millions of dollars to the project, so
being organized and prepared is crucial.
Today, Don is in the field visiting crews working
on transmission towers, as he does each Wednesday. “Safety is my biggest responsibility,” said Don.
“Sending the crews home safely comes before cost
and schedule, and being able to meet with them in
person shows my dedication to their well-being.” He
then continues down the road to the next crew and
checks to see how things are going.
At Don’s office in Brea, California, the walls are
covered with maps. “Every morning, I come in and
update the maps with today’s construction status,”
said Don. “I place a tack in each area where a crew is
working.” Four contractor companies are working in
Don’s area and he meets in person with each contractor on a weekly basis to get a status update. Don also
works with Local Public Affairs going door-to-door
at residences near construction sites to discuss concerns residents have regarding the project.
“Every day is different,” said Don. “Even the smallest issues, like a nesting bird, can stop work and delay
the entire project. But at the end of the day, nothing is
more satisfying than driving past a completed tower
and knowing I helped make that happen.”

an Air Force pilot, was shot down during a combat
mission flying over Tunisia. It was March 1943—the
height of World War II. Roger grew up wondering
about his biological father, but his mother remarried
and rarely talked about him. Roger himself married,
raised a family and spent 32 years working at Southern California Edison. In 2012, an unexpected box of
handwritten letters started Roger on a journey to get
to know his dad, Lieutenant Roger William Jamison.
Up until this point, Roger only knew his dad enlisted in flight school in Ontario, California, when he
was 20. He married a year later, shortly before being deployed to fight in the North African Campaign
of WWII. Only a year into his deployment, his B-25
bomber was shot down. Roger grew up believing the
entire crew onboard was killed. During his training
and deployment, Roger’s dad wrote letters back and
forth with his wife and mom—more than 140 total.
Roger never knew about these letters until his grandmother passed away a few years ago. As his dad’s
only child and his grandmother’s only living relative,
her possessions were left to Roger, including the letters. Reading the letters was his first chance at understanding the man and the father he never met.
“Prior to undertaking this project, I knew of my father,” said Roger. “As I read the letters, did research
and got firsthand accounts from men who flew with
him, I now feel I know and would’ve loved to grow up
with him.”
Through his research, Roger learned three parachutes were seen falling from the plane as it was shot
down. Two of the crewmen were caught by enemy
forces and kept as prisoners of war. To this day, the
identity of the third crew member is unknown. Roger’s research has led him to believe it could have been
his dad.
Roger since discovered a memorial was constructed in Tunisia for the missing crew members of his
dad’s final mission. He’s never had a chance to see
it, but thanks to a friend following Roger’s story, he
received photos of the cemetery and inscription of his
dad’s name on the Wall of the Missing memorial. “I
felt a great sense of solace from the beauty of the surroundings shown in the pictures and the dedication
to the memory of the servicemen lost in that battle,”
said Roger.
“My journey is nowhere near complete, I’m learning. I wholeheartedly believe that my dad’s last mission wasn’t his crash. His final mission is to bring
closure to me.”

Demonstrating the
Possibilities
W
ith funds from a U.S. Department of Energy
American Reinvestment and Recovery Act
grant, Southern California Edison built the Irvine Smart Grid Demonstration—a real world
test community for emerging energy efficiency
technologies. The demonstration tests everything from residential building materials and devices
that give homeowners more control of their energy use to
improving the automation of substations.
Empowering the Customer
In a residential community on the University of California,
Irvine campus, ISGD tests systems that help customers be
more in control of their energy use. “We’re testing smart
appliances, Wi-Fi connected thermostats, smart meters
and energy management software that allow homeowners
to achieve great energy efficiency,” said Advanced Technology Project Manager Ardalan “Ed” Kamiab. Solar panels
and energy storage are also testing the ability to minimize
or remove reliance on grid-supplied power, with a goal of
demonstrating Zero Net Energy homes—which generate as
much or more energy than they use.
Storing Energy
Energy storage can take solar power generated when the
sun is shining and allow it to be used at night or under
cloud cover. Four types of energy storage systems are
being tested through ISGD. A containerized battery system is connected to the local distribution circuit. A second system integrates battery storage, solar panels and
20 plug-in electric vehicle charging stations at a UCI
parking structure. A community energy storage unit
is buried on a residential street where it provides backup power during an outage. And on two other streets,
homes are equipped with individual residential energy
storage units that directly store energy generated by the
homes’ solar panels. Read more about energy storage at
inside.edison.com/storage14.
A Resilient Grid
Resiliency is critical to the grid of the future. ISGD is testing
a self-healing distribution circuit that uses communicating switches to detect and isolate problems during
outages, limiting outage impacts to a smaller number of
customers. To enhance system efficiency and conserve energy, ISGD uses several capacitors to keep voltage within
a tighter range, improving energy consumption by 1-3
percent. Substation automation allows remote
control of equipment and automatic restoration after faults, minimizing dangerous manual steps and the chance of
human error during operations.
Command,
Control and
Cybersecurity
Not only is ISGD testing
smart technology that
uses less energy, but
it’s also collecting data
on its ability to help enhance cybersecurity, grid
awareness and the ability
of individual grid components to work together in
emergencies. The goal is to
identify methods to secure the
communications systems that
link substations, field and customer devices with SCE’s systems.
“ISGD is helping us understand the
profound changes a smart grid will bring
to the industry—including increased use of renewables, intermittent generation connected to our
distribution system and the ability of customers to actively
manage how they use electricity,” said Ed. “Both SCE and
our customers will benefit from these efforts.”

SCE Crews Train Local Firefighters
Southern California Edison Distribution linemen performed
a safety demonstration for local fire fighters in Murrieta,
California, on Sept. 15-18. SCE crews demonstrated the
safety measures they take before entering underground
vaults, such as a tailboard discussion and form, tailboard
sign, oxygen and gas testing, and heat scanning.
“We work with local firefighters so they’re knowledgeable and prepared when responding to an emergency,
for both overhead and underground structures,” said Field
General Foreman Tony Fraijo. “This is important both for
the safety of our linemen and the firefighters. It’s been a
great collaboration.”

Edison International Celebrates
National Public Lands Day
On Sept. 27, Edison International celebrated National
Public Lands Day by sponsoring a celebration that included
a nature exploration walk for students from San Fernando
High School and a forest revitalization project in Tujunga,
California. The company provided a $150,000 donation
to the National Forest Foundation and more than 50 employee volunteers participated in the event.
Volunteers helped repair hiking trails and removed invasive plant species in an area of the forest damaged by the
2009 Station Fire, which burned more than 160,000 acres.
“The National Forest Foundation is committed to environmental stewardship and instilling an appreciation of
our national forests in future generations,” said Edison
International Corporate Communications Senior Vice President Janet Clayton. “We’re proud to support their efforts.”
named Edison International among the top
three companies for disclosure and accountability in the 2014 CPA-Zicklin Index, which
was released on Sept. 24. Edison International
is among six companies that fully disclose all
direct and indirect political spending, including trade association payments.
SCE unveiled the largest lithium-ion battery storage project in North America,
located at the Monolith substation in Tehachapi, California, on Sept. 24. The 32
megawatt-hour energy storage system
is located near the Tehachapi Wind Resource Area—which will provide 4,500
MW of energy by 2016—and will store
energy produced by the wind turbines.
“This is a major milestone both for
SCE and for energy storage in California,” said Advanced Technology Director
Doug Kim. “It will help us optimize
grid performance and integrate more
renewable energy sources into our
system.”
“Transparency and accountability are an
important part of the way Edison International
does business,” said Edison International
Chairman and CEO Ted Craver. “Our high
ranking reflects our strong commitment to
these values.”

Southern California Edison relied mostly
on hydro generation until the mid-1920s.
A severe drought from 1921-24 left the
company with inadequate water supply
to meet demand. SCE leased private
steam plants owned by manufacturing
industries such as cement factories
to meet demand. Still, the company
struggled to generate enough electricity
and issued mandatory power rationing
programs.
