DESCRIPTION:Today\, there are still an estimated 1.2 billion people in the 
 world who live without electricity (20% of the world’s population). Toda
 y we have technology that can deliver energy to these remoter regions by e
 mploying large central generation\, HV transmission and medium voltage dis
 tribution with users operating in the 100-240 volt range depending on thei
 r geography. Solar\, small wind\, and LED lighting provide foundation tech
 nologies are being developed for deployment in today’s present grid\, bu
 t are not optimized for low cost\, simple deployment and maintainability i
 n the developing world. Light the World plans to develop the cost optimize
 d technology that is necessary to have a very low cost electricity deploym
 ent. Light The World’s solution is based on a DC microgrid concept\, whi
 ch enables each member of a community to share excess power and provide sc
 alability.\n\nAdmission Fee:\n»IEEE Members $15\n»IEEE Non-members $25\n
