The guy that wrote that article seems to know what he is talking about, here is his BIO below if you are interested.


Who is Dick Mills

Dick Mills has been creating software for power plants and power
systems for more than 30 years. He was a pioneer in operator training
simulators, helping five different companies get established. He has
more than 2000 hours of simulator control room experience in
emergency and startup conditions. He created the first independent
network simulator, PTI's PSS; still the industry standard 25 years later.

Dick also designed turbine controls, integrated plant controls, the automatic generation controls used in energy management systems, nuclear power plant probabilistic risk assessment tools, and process monitoring, archiving and optimization systems.

Dick clicked to the Y2K problem in 1997. He switched careers to work full time on Y2K in power grids. He is presently a consultant at Compaq's Year 2000 Expertise Center, although he speaks here as a power engineer, not a Compaq representative.
