J ohn is joining us from the Atlanta area and will be available for a 'meet and greet' just before his presentation. This presentation is in conjuncti on with IEEE Palouse Section.\n\n5:30 - Event start\n\n6:00 - Dinner order s will be taken (meal purchase is not necessary to attend event\, but is a t expense of attendee)\n\n6:15 - Speaker will begin\n\nAbstract:The purpos e of this talk is to familiarize participants with a vision for the future of substation automation\, within the context of grid modernization. The talk starts with a discussion of key industry/societal trends in generatio n\, transmission\, distribution and the consumer. The “smarter grid” w ill highlight the intelligence that has already been implemented\, and the new intelligence being added now. The Smart Grid technology roadmap will discuss the Smart Grid solutions of Distribution Optimization\, Transmissi on Optimization\, Asset Optimization\, Demand Optimization\, Smart Meters and Communications\, and Workforce and Engineering Design Optimization. Th ree key visionary concepts to be covered are the greater value of the inte gration of key technology components and the importance of interoperabilit y\, the impact of high penetration of rooftop solar PV on the distribution system\, and Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) integration and enterpri se data management. The vision of substation automation will include conce pts and utility case studies.\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nJohn D.
