Implementing AI in Electrical Applications— Part 2 by Michael Morris

William Attardi on August 9, 2025

From the EC&M e-books library: How the industry is responding to data center challenges, influx in electrical grid demand, and artificial intelligence. For this e-book, we’ve collected a selection of articles that further explores different ways artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting the electrical industry. This article looks at how new technology, specifically AI, will increase demands on data centers and how electrical engineers are working to ensure data centers can meet these demands. Building off that theme, the next articles look at the relationship between data centers, AI, and the electrical grid.

Implementing AI in Electrical Applications— Part 1 by Michael Morris

William Attardi on March 17, 2025

From the EC&M e-books library: How the industry is incorporating artificial intelligence into the electrical space.  Ever since the rise of ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has been unavoidable. Just about every industry is developing ways to incorporate AI into their field, and the electrical industry is no different. EC&M has followed the rise of AI in order to keep our readers informed on how the technology is impacting the electrical industry. This content has been immensely popular, so we decided to collect some of the best articles into our first e-book of 2025. The topic of artificial intelligence and its role in the electrical industry is such an important and rapidly evolving one that we decided we’ll need two e-books to do it justice. Stay tuned for “Implementing AI in Electrical Applications — Part 2” releasing later in 2025.  67d1dc96c1db52f96511aefc-ecm_ebook_implementing_ai (1).pdf

Remembering the Solemn Purpose of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday traces its roots to the years immediately following the American Civil War (1861–1865), which caused massive casualties—roughly 620,000 soldiers dead, about 2% of the U.S. population at the time. Communities across the North and South began spontaneously decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags, a practice that gave rise to the original name: Decoration Day. On May 5, 1868, Major General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)—a powerful Union veterans’ organization—issued General Order No. 11. This proclaimed May 30, 1868, as a nationwide “Decoration Day” to honor those who died in the Civil War. After World War I, the holiday expanded to honor all American service members who died in any war, not just the Civil War.  In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three-day weekends for federal employees. This moved Memorial Day to the last Monday in May, effective in 1971, when it was also officially named “Memorial Day.” As one 1868 quote put it: “That Nation which respects and honors its dead, shall ever be respected and honored itself.”
