Ple ase join this webinar with Prof. Saifur Rahman from Virginia Tech\, who wa s the IEEE PES President and the candidate for IEEE President-Elect 2021\, to learn and discuss smart grids and renewables. 1 PDH will be provided t o attendees who will be tracked and proven to be in attendance for this en tire webinar.\n\nAbstract: With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy security\, power system planners are looking at renewable energ y as supplements and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges - primarily intermittency. Many believe that the smart grid – due to its inherent communication\, sensing and control capabilities – will have the ability to manage the load\, storage and generation asse ts (including renewables) in the power grid to enable a large-scale integr ation of distributed generation. In a smart grid\, information about the s tate of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long dis tances and complex networks. It will therefore be possible to have the int egration of sustainable energy sources\, such as wind\, solar\, off-shore electricity\, etc. for smoother system operation. But in order for this to be possible\, the electric utility will have to evolve\, and change their ways of operation to become an intelligent provider of these services. Th is lecture introduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources\, and various aspects of the smart grid - technology\, standards a nd regulations. It also addresses the interplay among distributed generati on\, storage and conventional generation to provide an efficient operation al strategy in the context of the smart grid.\n\nPlease join this Webex me eting using the following information:\n\nWednesday\, Jun 24\, 2020 5:00 p m | 1 hour 15 minutes | (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nMeeting nu mber: 126 872 0677\nPassword: iHkg5xJ6TX7 (44545956 from phones and video systems)\n\nhttps://meetingsamer22.webex.com/meetingsamer22/j.php?MTID=mcb d162f2f91a4938e13e3eec9296c2e7\n\nJoin by video system\nDial 1268720677@me etingsamer22.webex.com\nYou can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meet ing number.\n\nJoin by phone\n+1-408-418-9388 United States Toll\nAccess c ode: 126 872 0677\n\nSpeaker(s): Saifur Rahman\, \n\nAgenda: \n5:00 - 5:05 PM: Introduction\n\n5:05 - 6:00 PM: Lecture\n\n6:00 - 6:10 PM: Q&A\n\nWeb ex\, Columbus\, Ohio\, United States LOCATION:Webex\, Columbus\, Ohio\, United States ORGANIZER:wu.3018@osu.edu SEQUENCE:13 SUMMARY:PES Distinguished Lecturer Webinar: Role of the Smart Grid in Facil itating the Integration of Renewables URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/231981 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p align="LEFT"><strong>Firstly\, wish you ar e all well during this&nbsp\;difficult time.
