In Memoriam: Dr Louis Cloutier (1936-2017)

Submitted by Alain Cardou on

My friend and former colleague, Dr. Louis Cloutier, passed away on February 26. A long time Hydro-Quebec engineer, among other achievements, he will be remembered for his major contribution to the solution of electric power transmission mechanical problems, most notably to Aeolian vibration control, and related conductor fatigue. Besides his contribution of our GREMCA research lab on overhead conductor fatigue (Laval University, Quebec City), he has been very active as a member of various commitees and related technical societies, such as the CIGRÉ committee on life of electric power conductors.
