Nikola Tesla Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] The IEEE Nikola Tesla Award
The IEEE Nikola Tesla Award was established in 1975 through agreement between the IEEE Power Engineering Society and the IEEE Board of Directors. It may be awarded each year on the recommendation of the Technical Field Awards Council of the Awards Board to an individual or a team that have made outstanding contributions to the generation and utilization of electric power.
The Award is named in honor of Nikola Tesla, an electrical engineer, a distinguished Yugoslav-American inventor, and a pioneer in many fields, who is most renowned for the development of the coil that bears his name and the a-c induction motor.
