Logan Cane – Best APEX Presentation Award
Logan Cane, Mitton Electronet, won the Best APEX Presentation Award for his presentation on ‘Stop Using Your Imagination: How LiDAR Technology is Changing the Way We Design Substations’.
Logan is an Assistant Engineer at Mitton ElectroNet who currently works in the Power Systems Analysis Team based in Christchurch. During his graduate rotations he has been involved in other engineering roles such as earth system design and testing in the electrical safety team as well as both primary and secondary substation design within the Transmission Team. Logan studied at the University of Canterbury to gain a BE(Hons) – Electrical and Electronic Engineering with a minor in power engineering. He also has a broad range of previous experience in other fields ranging from serving in the Royal New Zealand Air Force as a Logistics Operator to owning a small lawncare business.
One of his goals for working within the power industry is to help New Zealand transition to a low-carbon, economical and equitable energy system through the application of carefully considered engineering design. Right now, his role in the power system analysis team involves assessing the technical feasibility of potential future generation projects. He has a lot to learn, but also looks forward to sharing knowledge and learning from other engineers so that we can all design better.
