Title

The Smart Power Grid

Speaker

Stephen T. Lee of EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute)

Abstract

The Smart Power Grid- With so much going on world-wide in the name of Smart Grid, what are the most significant and beneficial developments in Smart Grid from the technical and economic standpoints? What is EPRI’s vision and roadmap for the most critically needed R&D to enable and support a truly smart grid? This presentation will focus on that vision and roadmap. Included in this discussion will be the following:



Topic of Discussion:

• Holistic Power Supply & Delivery Chain • Smart Grid Standards (NIST)

• Smart Meters/Home Area Network

• Demand Response

• Electric / Plug-in Hybrid Electric

• Highly Variable Renewable Wind and Solar Resources (Utility scale and distributed)

• Energy Storage Technologies

• Applications of Synchrophasors
