This so calle d “smart grid” will create opportunities for new technologies and busine sses which will emerge to satisfy the demands for improved communication s\, smart appliances\, distributed power generation\, demand response\, transportation electrification and many more applications. \;\n \; \nTo help entrepreneurs and innovators in the Portland area learn more a bout smart grid opportunities and collaborate with others the TiE Oregon is hosting an event with industry experts and capital providers who hav e an interest in growing smart grid businesses. \;\n \;\nPanelist s include: \;\n \;\n• Bill Campbell Principal at Equilibrium Capit al \;\n• Bobby Kandaswamy\, Investment Director\, Intel Capital \;\n• Jeff Hammarlund\, Adjunct Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at PSU's Mark O. Hatfield School of Government and the Executive Leadership Institute. \;\n \;\nBy attending this event you will h ear about the policies shaping the smart grid movement\, learn about var ious technology and application opportunities and meet others who are al ready working in the smart grid or have an idea that could turn into a n ew business. \;\n\n\nTags: clean tech\, smart grid\, technology\, e ntrepreneur\, opportunity\, business\, innovator\, power generation\, re newable\, smart appliances\, ostartupskey\n\nImported from: http://calag ator.org/events/1250457760 URL:http://www.oregon.tie.org SUMMARY:TiE Oregon - Demystifying the Smart Grid LOCATION:Intel Ronler Acres RA1 Auditorium: 2501 NW 229th Avenue\, Hillsb oro OR 97124 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T001104Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100421T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100421T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T001104Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T035212Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250458552 DESCRIPTION:Energy storage is increasingly perceived as a necessary and v ital component of any future smart grid\, yet meaningful energy storage is still a scarce and missing component. \;\n \;\nWhy is energy st orage so important? \;\n - Energy storage helps solve the variabilit y issues with renewable energy (solar and wind) generation\, and as such will help balance the grid \;\n- Distributed energy storage located near the point of use will provide localized power\, thereby decreasing the need to build new power plants and additional transmission lines. & #13\;\n- Energy storage has been proclaimed by some as a "\;killer a pp"\; by utilizing batteries in parked electric vehicle (EV) fleets to feed stored energy back to the grid. Such Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) appl ications have promise to feed energy back to the grid for special purpos es to benefit both the utility and the electric car owner. \;\n- Sig nificant utility-scale storage capacity solves an even bigger issue\, ca pturing and utilizing the massive amounts of electrical generating capac ity that is otherwise typically unused. \;\n \;\nThe discussion wi ll focus on: \;\n- Value chain elements of the energy storage indust ry \;\n- Who are local champions of energy storage \;\n- What ar e the interests of the investment community \;\n- What does the poli cy and regulatory framework look like \;\n- How do customers value e nergy storage \;\n- How is the smart grid expected to interact with e nergy storage \;\n \;\nJoin our panel on April 21st\, to underst and the technologies\, trade-offs\, market segments\, future potential o f energy storage. \;\n \;\nOur 3 panelists are: \;\n- Dylan Steeg\, Director Intel Capital\, Intel's global venture capital organiza tion. Dylan is responsible for several cleantech and semiconductor secto rs\, including photovoltaics\, smart grid/demand response\, datacenter e nergy efficiency\, and semiconductor manufacturing \;\n \;\n- Dan Nicollet\, Co-founder\, Supercritical Energy\, a pioneer of Supercritic al Fluid Technology applied to distributed energy generation and storage on the electric grid \;\n \;\n- Marcus Wood \, Partner and Chair of the Energy and Telecommunications (ENTEL) practice group Stoel Rives \, . He focuses his practice on energy provider and energy facility deve loper clients. \;\n \;\nThe panel will be moderated by John Thorn ton\, Founder\, Clean Future\, a consulting firm providing business and technical expertise at the convergence of energy\, mobility\, sustainabi lity and the Smart Grid. \;\n\n\nTags: smart grid\, energy storage\, renewable\, energy\, power\, batteries\, electric car\, grid\, utility\ , distributed energy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 58552 URL:http://oregon.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?id_event=4393&from _where=chapter_homepage SUMMARY:TiE Oregon: Energy Storage for the Smart Grid LOCATION:Stoel Rives LLP: 900 SW Fifth Ave.\, Suite 2600\, Portland OR 97 204 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100607T223627Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100626 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100621 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100607T223627Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100607T223627Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250458754 DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Monday\, June 21\, 2010 at 8am through F riday\, June 25\, 2010 at 5:30pm.\n\nDescription:\nSince its inception i n 1981\, the Certified Energy Manager (CEM) credential has become widely accepted and used as a measure of professional accomplishment within th e energy management field.
