Session Abstract
4:00 - 4:30 pm EDT
Grid Optimization Through Intelligent Grid Control
Surging demands, unpredictable generation from renewable sources, volatile energy costs, and the emergence of electric vehicles are all real factors threatening to cause grid instability. To continue to deliver high-quality and reliable service, utilities need to anticipate and diagnose potential problems at the edge faster, and to make localized control decisions within seconds. This session will address how to best enable grid operators and utilities to gain visibility at the edge, improve service reliability, and increase grid efficiency.
Topics to be address include:
- Moving from smart metering to the optimized grid: how to get there today
- How to leverage current investments in smart metering to get the vital grid intelligence required for an optimized grid
- What role do communication, standards and interoperability play?
- How far away are we from the "future of the smart grid" when electric vehicles, integration of renewables, and decentralized generation are happening now? How can companies prepare for this future today?
Note: For quality purposes, this presentation was pre-recorded on May 24 for initial broadcast during
this V-Summit. The live Q&A discussion on May 31 will begin at 4:30 pm EDT and go for approximately 15 minutes.
