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\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Saifur Rahman\, PhD\, \ n\nAgenda: \n11:45 Check-in and Presentation Technology Check\n\n12:00 Pre sentation\n\n12:50 Q&A\n\nAtlanta\, Georgia\, United States\, Virtual: htt ps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/263768 LOCATION:Atlanta\, Georgia\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools .ieee.org/m/263768 ORGANIZER:AtlantaPES10@gmail.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Role of the Smart Grid in Facilitating the Integration of Renewable s URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/263768 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>With the focus on environmental sustainabi lity and energy security\, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements and alternatives.
