DESCRIPTION:With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy secur
 ity\, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements
  and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges -
  primarily intermittency. It is expected that the smart grid – due to it
 s inherent communication\, sensing and control capabilities – will have 
 the ability to manage the load\, storage and generation assets (including 
 renewables) in the power grid to enable a large-scale integration of distr
 ibuted generation. In a smart grid\, information about the state of the gr
 id and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and com
 plex networks. It will therefore be possible to have the integration of su
 stainable 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 opera
 tion to become an intelligent provider of these services. This lecture int
 roduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources\, and 
 various aspects of the smart grid - technology\, standards and regulations
 . It also addresses the interplay among distributed generation\, storage a
 nd conventional generation to provide an efficient operational strategy in
  the context of the smart grid.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CH07055 - Ottawa Secti
