Training T&D's next generation for next generation networks: The CIGRE experience
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Transmission and Distribution (T&D) industry is facing the greatest set challenges in a generation. The impending retirement of the post War ldquoBaby Boomersrdquo, together with major increases in demand for investment in network infrastructure, covering both the renovation and re-enforcement of networks constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, plus the huge demand growth in developing nations, is being faced by a decline in engineering students ready to grasp the challenge. CIGRE - the ldquoConseil International des Grands Reacuteseaux Electriquesrdquo - set out to reposition itself in order to better serve the needs of new T&D engineers. Quite simply, CIGRE acknowledged the need to change or risk declining membership. The authors present case material from the first 12 months of CIGRE UK's highly successful ldquoNext Generation Networkrdquo (NGN) group and how Industry, Academia and Government have recognized the need to balance formal training with specific industry-wide support programs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
