“Smart Grid” is becoming a household term not only in the US but all
over the world. Development of a “smart” technology to promote and
coordinate more efficient electricity usage has become a key element in
the plan to lower energy costs for consumers, achieve energy
independence, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although Smart Grid
technology presents opportunities for utilities and consumers to
benefit from the efficient management of energy, significant challenges
need to be addressed to integrate and deploy these innovative
technologies.
The IEEE PES is committed to lead the effort to coordinate and develop
the necessary expertise, standards, and application of Smart Grid
technologies.

IEEE Fellow
The PES approach and plans for the coordination of addressing Smart
Grid technologies and applications.
8:30 am – 10:30 am
Super
Session--Smart Grid Overview
Moderator: Sharma Kolluri, Entergy Corp.
Session Summary: This session will explore the impact of “Smart Grid”
technology in lowering energy costs for consumers, achieving energy
independence, and automating the electric grid, and will also address
the major challenges and concerns in deployment of smart grid
technologies. The session will examine the following areas: smart grid
technologies for enabling power delivery, smart grid applications,
smart grid implementation plan, and costs and benefits of smart grid
technologies.
Panelists:

Transmission
and Distribution
Optimization
Moderator: Steve Widergren
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
NIST SGIP Plenary Chair
Session Summary: This session will discuss impact of renewables
integration on the transmission and distribution systems. Synergies
through system integration result in another tier of realized of
benefits. Smart Grid impact on EMS and DMS applications involve both
operational on the network issues as well as
scheduling/dispatch/planning. Issues associated with distributed
resources, variable generation and situational awareness will also be
discussed.
Panelists:
Bob Zavadil, EnerNex
Ali Ipakchi, OATI
Greg Robinson, Xtensible Solutions
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm: Lunch
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Super
Session--Cyber Security of T & D Control System Assets
Chair/Moderator: Dave Norton
CISSP, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Entergy Transmission
Session Summary: This session initially will overview basic concepts,
issues, and means for securing networked control systems used for grid
management, to set the stage for deeper treatment of needs, directions,
and emerging state-of-the-art technologies for securely operating the
grid of the future – from generation, to transmission and distribution,
to advanced metering infrastructure. In addition, this session will
highlight R&D and proof of concept initiatives now afoot, identify
areas where additional work is needed, and report on the current status
of industry standards development activities aimed at guiding
improvements to electric sector control systems security.
Panelists:
Jeff Dagle, PE, Energy Technology Development, Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory

Managing the Charge/Discharge Operations of
the Electric Vehicle: The
Role of the Smart Grid
Moderator: Saifur Rahman, Virginia Tech
Panel Summary: As a significant number of plug-in electric vehicles
(PEVs) are rolled out in 2010 and 2011, there will be marked impact on
the electric power distribution network. This represents both a
challenge and an opportunity. With thousands of PEVs - with electrical
loads ranging from 5 kW to 50 kW for each - in their distribution
network, electric utilities will take on a new role as transportation
fuel providers. While the uneven distribution of PEVs on their
distribution network will create unexpected hot spots on their
distribution network, it will also provide them the opportunity to make
more kWhr sales, preferably during off-peak hours, and use the
batteries in the PEVs as distributed storage devices to reduce peak
demands. This panel will discuss how the smart grid will help to manage
the impacts of PEVs on power distribution system operations. It will
also outline the opportunities, and protocols and technologies
necessary to operate the PEV batteries as storage devices.

The
Future of Smart Grid - Technology, Policy, Standards and Consumer
Behavior
Moderator: Jesse Berst

Session Summary: This session will look at the future of Smart Grid.
Where is technology headed, and how will standards developments impact
technology? Supportive policy is critical to the success of Smart Grid.
What are the present policy efforts in the United States, and outside
the United States? How intertwined are policy and standards, and how
does this influence future strategy? How well do we know consumer
behavior? How do we develop effective Demand Response programs without
intimate knowledge of consumer behavior? These questions are examples
of the discussion questions that will be addressed in this session.
