DESCRIPTION:The penetration of renewable energy systems has been increasing
  globally. These intermittent renewable energy resources require additiona
 l power system resources to balance the fluctuations in both loads and int
 ermittent generators. The additional system resources have traditionally b
 een supplied by dispatchable central generation stations\, some are fossil
  fuel based. However\, this is unsustainable due to the high environmental
  impacts. Various energy storage systems using pumped hydro\, compressed a
 ir\, battery\, flywheel and hydrogen systems as sources have been applied 
 in utilities. In addition to other limitations\, costs are still high for 
 these available energy storage systems in utility applications. Dr. Liuche
 n Chang will present an alternative energy storage resource for power syst
 ems based on distributed energy resources including aggregated direct cont
 rol of electrical loads. These loads have thermal energy storage capacitie
 s\, including water heaters\, electrical thermal storage units\, ice makin
 g units\, HVACs\, etc. With aggregated controls and virtual power plants\,
  the overall power consumed by these loads can be ramped up or ramped down
  continuously without negative impact to the normal end use\, similarly to
  other forms of energy storage systems. Distributed generation systems\, e
 nergy storage systems\, and direct load control systems as in the portfoli
 o of distributed energy resources thus form generalized energy storage sys
 tems as new and alternative power system resources\, which will enable int
 egration of more intermittent renewable energy systems in utilities. Dr. C
 hang will also introduce the IEEE International Technology Roadmap of Powe
 r Electronics for Distributed Energy Resources (IRTD).\n\nCo-sponsored by:

 ittent renewable energy resources require additional power system resource

 he additional system resources have traditionally been supplied by dispatc

 With aggregated controls and virtual power plants\, the overall power cons
 umed by these loads can be ramped up or ramped down continuously without n
 egative impact to the normal end use\, similarly to other forms of energy 
 storage systems. Distributed generation systems\, energy storage systems\,
  and direct load control systems as in the portfolio of distributed energy
