Wha t is it and why do we need it? Find out the latest trends in design and co nstruction of the NEW Grid. What changed? How are we handling cyber attack s on the grid? How are we physically strengthening the grid? What governme nt incentives are we taking? And how are the Electric Utilities working wi th the client facilities behind the meter to build resiliency and sustaina ble facilities for the future. How are DERs (distributed Energy Resources) like solar\, fuel cells\, and wind working to reduce our nations carbon f ootprint?\n\nFrom our ancestor’s awareness of electrical energy to more recent history of experiments on how to generate and control such energy\, the Electricity has been around with us for several hundred years. But it only became widely accessible as the dominant form of energy\, thanks to the modern power systems. At the heart of such power systems is the electr ic grid\, which has served as the backbone for the world’s electricity s ystem for more than a century\, fueling economic growth and enabling more advanced technology development. Fast forward to today the society is tran sitioning from reliance on fossil fuel to cleaner and sustainable operatio n. We’ve seen signs that the grids are becoming a bottleneck of such ene rgy transition. The observations range from wide-spread outages to multipl e grid cogeneration\, to prolonged interconnection queue and renewable cur tailment. When integrated and managed well\, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) bring in huge value and provide system level flexibility services t hat can help address the grids’ challenge. In today’s session I would like to take the audience together to explore the challenges and opportuni ties of integrating DERs to the Smart Grid.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Power and Energy Society\n\nSpeaker(s): Ding Han\, Katherine Hammack\n\nAgenda: \n12:00 pm PST IEEE Announcements\n12:02 pm PST Introduction of speaker D r.
