It is one of the greatest elect rical\, electronic and information processing challenges of our time and represents a significant engineering opportunity over the next two deca des and beyond. It captures information about supply\, system demand\, i ndividual usage\, and pricing that fundamentally shifts how electricity is used. It enables the operators of the power system to increase effici ency and reliability while reducing costs and empowering consumers of el ectricity to minimize their own electricity costs. \n\nLearning Objectiv es:\nAttendees will gain an understanding of the monitoring\, communicat ions\, security and control systems of the Smart Grid\, how they interac t\, the flow of data and control\, and design and implementation conside rations including:\n\nInformation requirements for optimal control of ge nerating capacity\, regional transmission grids\, and municipal distribu tion grids to meet end user demands.\nHow generation\, transmission and distribution control systems utilize digital information.\nHow suppliers and distributors of electricity use information to minimize costs while increasing reliability\, flexibility\, and security.\nHow usage monitor ing and automation will allow end users to make informed decisions that reduce their electricity costs.\nHow to ensure grid security.\nBalancing optimization of the grid’s subsystems and the grid as a whole.Target Audience:\nThe target audience is engineers\, policy makers\, and entrep reneurs who want to understand the Smart Grid in order to make better pr ofessional\, technical and business decisions.\n\nPrerequisites:\nAttend ees should be generally familiar with the electric power system\, softwa re\, or data communications concepts\; a power engineering background is not required.\n\nRegistration:\n\n"\;Register online here"\;. S eats are limited.\n\nThe workshop will be held Wednesday\, September 8 a t the Ambridge Event Center at 1333 NE Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Blvd \, Portland\, Oregon 97232. On-site registration/check-in starts at 7:30 AM\, and the workshop starts promptly at 8:00. On-site attendees will r eceive one electronic media with course materials\, continental breakfas t\, breaks\, lunch and reception (cash bar). The reception for the spea kers and attendees will be held from 5-6pm. \n\nLecture notes will provi ded to all attendees. In addition\, 0.6 CEU’s (6 PDH) will be awarded upon completion of the on-site seminar. Details for webcast access will be provided upon registration. Webcast will be recorded and available fo r limited period (min. 90 days) replay/review by all attendees.
