Pamela Mclean has over thirty years' experience building and managing models of high-voltage electric transmission grids, establishing engineering procedures, writing technical reports, and training and mentoring junior engineering staff.

She is the author of the “TASMo”, “TASMoPublic” and “CIMAEN” databases, as well as databases used to manage casting and costuming in performing arts companies, and a biblical analytics database using Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MSAccess and Obase; including macro and other automation programming and front-end design using Visual Basic, Python, Ruby, Fortran, SQL and OpenOffice Basic; working on Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms.

Ms Mclean chaired the Alberta Electric System Operator's Transmission Data Committee, a stakeholder forum specifying modelling requirements for the transmission grid, from 1998 until 2015, and in that role was the lead author of Transmission Modelling Data Requirements and Requirements for Model Validation Reporting.

Over her seventeen years with AESO, Ms Mclean trained and mentored more than 80 junior engineers, engineers-in-training and engineering co-op students, the majority of whom have gone on to employment in the electric utility industry, many of them here in Alberta.

She has familiarity with most of the major power system analysis software including PSS/E, PSLF, PowerTools, and Oneliner and others, having been involved in beta testing and interoperability testing for several of them; and having used them extensively for powerflow, voltage stability, dynamic studies and short-circuit and protection-coordination studies. Ms Mclean is a Member of the IEEE with three papers or presentations to various IEEE conferences.
