Tutorial:

Smart Grid Boot Camp

Session Chair: Erich Gunther, EnerNex

 

Smart Grid 101 introduces the basics of Smart Grid, based on the NIST Smart Grid Framework the tutorial covers all aspects of smart grid. From why smart grid now to the key technologies that make up the smart grid. It introduces the work of OpenSmartGrid, Gridwise Architecture Council, NIST, DOE’s Modern Grid Project and other key efforts from around the world. The tutorial will help you:

-       Develop your business case

-       Understand the key standards that will underpin the smart grid in the US

-       Introduce you to key industry projects that are serving as key test beds

-       Introduce the key smart grid organizations and provide a pointer to involvement

-       Provide an understanding of the key technologies that compose a typical smart grid

The attendee will leave with a better understanding of the current state of the art in regulation and technology provided in a candid and unbiased fashion by some of the top practitioners in the industry.
