It is one of the greatest electrical, electronic and information processing challenges of our time and represents a significant engineering opportunity over the next two decades and beyond. It captures information about supply, system demand, individual usage, and pricing that fundamentally shifts how electricity is used. It enables the operators of the power system to increase efficiency and reliability while reducing costs and empowering consumers of electricity to minimize their own electricity costs.</p> <p><b>Learning Objectives:</b> Attendees will gain an understanding of the monitoring, communications, security and control systems of the Smart Grid, how they interact, the flow of data and control, and design and implementation considerations including:</p> <ul> <li>Information requirements for optimal control of generating capacity, regional transmission grids, and municipal distribution grids to meet end user demands.</li> <li>How generation, transmission and distribution control systems utilize digital information.</li> <li>How suppliers and distributors of electricity use information to minimize costs while increasing reliability, flexibility, and security.</li> <li>How usage monitoring and automation will allow end users to make informed decisions that reduce their electricity costs.</li> <li>How to ensure grid security.</li> <li>Balancing optimization of the grid’s subsystems and the grid as a whole.</li> </ul> <p><b>Target Audience:</b> The target audience is engineers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs who want to understand the Smart Grid in order to make better professional, technical and business decisions.</p> <p><b>Prerequisites:</b> Attendees should be generally familiar with the electric power system, software, or data communications concepts; a power engineering background is not required.</p> <p><b>Registration:</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.regonline.com/ieee_smart_grid_workshop2010">"Register online here"</a>. Seats are limited.</p> <p>The workshop will be held Wednesday, September 8 at 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 receive one electronic media with course materials, continental breakfast, breaks, lunch and reception (cash bar). The reception for the speakers and attendees will be held from 5-6pm.</p> <p>Lecture notes will provided 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.
