Yest erday\, Today & Tomorrow!”\n\nManaging the future grid will require crea tive\, innovative solutions. Uncertainties in the grid are increasing due to the growth of less predictable renewable generation resources\, demand response programs\, distributed generation\, microgrids\, potential cyber- security issues\, the retiring workforce and the aging infrastructure. Ene rgy Management Systems (EMS) have been deployed for decades at utility con trol centers to manage the electricity grid in real-time. Today these EMS capabilities are poised to be enhanced quite dramatically with growth of s ynchrophasor PMU measurements. Solutions to decentralize management of the grid are also being introduced – these include Distribution Management Systems\, Substation Automation and advances in grid control devices. Thes e new solutions will help us monitor\, manage and automatically control un certainties and challenges of the future smart grid.\n\nBio:\n\nJay Giri i s a former Director of Power Systems Technology and Strategic Initiatives at GE Grid Software Solutions in Redmond\, Washington where he managed a t eam of power system engineers who delivered generation control\, market ap plications and synchrophasor/phasor measurement unit (PMU) applications to utility control centers. He is an independent part-time consulatabt now. He is also n affiliate faculty at the University of Washington. He retired from GE in 2017.\n\nIn 1978\, Jay and 11 other engineers co-founded Energ y System Computer Applications (ESCA) in Bellevue\, WA. Over time\, ESCA b ecame Alstom Grid in 2010 and GE Grid Solutions in 2015.\n\nJay designed a nd implemented the original software for the ESCA automatic generation con trol (AGC) and dispatcher training simulator (DTS) power system simulation functions. Today this AGC controls over 50% of North American generation as well as generation in many other countries\, and the DTS is one of the predominant simulators used by control centers worldwide.\n\nB.Tech - Indi an Institute of Technology (IIT)\, Madras (Siemens gold medalist).
