With one-second data resolution\, the system delivers real-time visibility into plant operations. Combined with direct feedback from the E RCOT utility grid\, this high-speed data enables advanced control programm ing that automatically responds to changing grid conditions. The result is a fully automated demand management system that optimizes energy consumpt ion\, reduces peak demand charges\, and delivers significant operational c ost savings.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nBenPaul Gilmore is a BSEET with 39+ years of experience in Control Systems Engineering and Energy Management Control System design and programming field. He is a Fellow with the Association of Energy Engineers with Certified Energy Manager CEM\, Certified Demand S ide Manager CDSM\, and Certified Energy Auditor CEA ratings. Currently he is Principal Engineer and Fellow with Lockheed Martin. He is the systems a dministrator of U.S. Air Force / Lockheed Martin\, AFP#4's Energy Manageme nt Control System (EMCS) and Plant Wide Fire Protection and Mass Notificat ion Systems\n\nAs with all of our meetings\, we will be providing lunch. I f you do not pay online beforehand\, we will not be purchasing lunch for y ou. Please reach out if there are any issues with payment and we will try to figure it out prior to the meeting. In my experience\, Paypal is the ea siest and has had the least issues in the past.\n\nExcited to see everyone on the 17th!\n\nBldg: 777 Main\, 777 Main St\, Suite 2500\, Fort Worth\, Texas\, United States\, 76102\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/ 575696 LOCATION:Bldg: 777 Main\, 777 Main St\, Suite 2500\, Fort Worth\, Texas\, U nited States\, 76102\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/575696 ORGANIZER:ieeepesfortworth@listserv.ieee.org SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:IEEE PES Fort Worth Monthly Meeting - Nov 17\, 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/575696 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="line-height: 1\;"><span style="font -family: verdana\, geneva\, sans-serif\; font-size: 12pt\;"><span class="s ize" style="color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;">For our November meeting\, we are hap py to welcome BenPaul&nbsp\; Gilmore from Lockheed Martin to come speak on </span><span style="color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;">Enhancing Demand Control wit h Intelligent Plant Infrastructure.</span></span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal "><span style="font-family: verdana\, geneva\, sans-serif\; font-size: 12p t\;">Presentation:</span></p>\n<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-fam ily: verdana\, geneva\, sans-serif\; font-size: 12pt\;">Air Force Plant #4 enhances demand control through a network of intelligent meters that prov ide a comprehensive view of the facility's electrical metering and submete ring systems.
