Seeks Applicants
Lt. G. E, Bayliss, commanding
officers of the Naval Security
Group Division 8-19, has announced
that students interested in apply

at the same time.
What does it take to exchange
IV2 million kilowatts of electricity
between two major regions in the
United States ?
Answers to this problem involv
ing 11 southwestern power com
panies and the Tennessee Valley
Authority are being spelled out at
A&M’s Data Procesing Center.
Basically, the problem is this:
TVA has heavy winter-load com
mitments due to heating in its
service region while the south
western electrical companies need
extra power during the summer
because of air conditioning require
ments by their consumers. Both
“systems” have surplus power in
their respective ‘off” seasons.
A PROGRAM DEVELOPED by
Robert E. Kilmer, A&M computer
programmer at the $4% milion
computing research facility, was
selected to unravel the complex
problem that will eventually in
volve expenditure of up to $200
million.
It was up to the Data Processing
Center to build a mathematical
“model” of the entire projected sys
tem and program it into A&M’s
IBM 709 and 1401 computer com
plex.
Kilmer was able to develop a
program that was both “sopisti-
cated and flexible” to simulate the
various complex electrical power
sytems that will be involved in the
IV2 million kilowatt interchange,
acording to W. M. Brewer of Ar
kansas Power & Light Co.
“Because of Kilmer’s work, the
Data Processing Center was select
ed over several of the larger com
puting facilities in the nation,”
Brewer said.
“KILMER APPROACHED the
problem from the viewpoint of a
power engineer, rather than trying
to adapt a power system’s needs to
computer system’s requirements.
The result is a more flexible pro
gramming technique that gives the
answers we’re looking for,” he add
ed.
Kilmer’s computer program will
tell the power engineers: (1) the
amount of power each generation
installations should produce for
proper interchange; (2) a listing of
power flow between the different
coordinates, and (3) loss of power
each individual company may ex
pect (line transmission loss) and
not be compensated for.
Accuracy in gaining a solution
for this size of problem is the
unique aspect of the program de
veloped by Kilmer, who worked on
the project for a year.
His program projects data that
will reveal weak points in the pro
posed plans, as well as what addi
tional equipment — such as con
densers and transformers — will be
needed.
A GROUP OF 18 engineers, re
presenting the investor-owned com
panies and the TVA, have arrived
on campus to help feed data to the
computers.
The region their electric com-

and delegates are returned home.
SCONA pays transportation jarid
housing expenses of its delegates.
KREBS HAS bQcome adept at
raising funds fdf SCONA through
working on its ancestors. He said:
“Everyone who called on spon
sors received a variety of experi
ences. ' v •
“I’ve been thrown out of the
biggest and most plush offices in
Dallas.
“Actually though, I’ve found
personally most civic-minded busi
nessmen are quite surprised that
we have such a thing as SCONA.
“They are amazed at the size of
the conference, the caliber of
speakers and the interest shown
by students who engineer the en
tire thing.”
panies and the TVA serves ex
tends from Bristol, Va., to Wichi
ta, Kan., and from Kentucky
border to Beaumont. The private
electrical companies generate of
a collective total of about 15 mil
lion kilowatts while the TVA re
presents a total power generation
capacity of another 15 million
kilowatts.
Both TVA and the 11 companies
expect to spend $100 million each
in the next six years to build a
system of high-voltage power lines
to complete the interchange net
work.
The analysis of the power engi
neers shows that it is more econo
mical to build this system than
for each group to build separate
generation facilities. In this way
both can use the surplus of the
other system. And, each system
gets the benefit of deferring capi
tal expenditures on more costly
generation plants.
