DESCRIPTION:IEEE-IAS & PELS Joint Chapter\, Toronto Section Invites you to 
 the following technical event:\n\nTitle: Engineering a Greener Tomorrow\n\
 nAbstract: Reliable and efficient electrical grid operation is critical to
  society. The electrical power and energy industry in the next decades is 
 changing rapidly to meet the demands of the society and address challenges
 . New technology trends include development of more efficient\, reliable\,
  and cost-effective renewable generation and Distributed Energy Resources 
 (DER)\, energy storage technologies\, Electric Vehicles (EV)\, monitoring\
 , protection\, automation\, and control devices\, and communications that 
 offer significant opportunities for realizing a sustainable and greener en
 ergy future. We are at a crossroads in making business and technical decis
 ions that will allow us to optimally and cost-effectively manage the green
 er tomorrow.\n\nThe presentation will address some of the challenges and o
 pportunities facing modern grids and how industry trends and innovation wi
 ll shape the future grid. Topics included are:\n\n- Industry Trends and Tr
 ansformation Drivers\n- Opportunities and challenges with distributed ener
 gy resources\, microgrids\, electrical vehicles and the role of storage\n-
  Technologies for the changing nature of the grid\n- Grid modernization ro
 admap\n- Education and workforce needs\n- Key success factors to prepare f
 or the greener future\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Damir Novosel\, \n\nRoom: BA4287\
