Industry Trends & Innovation: Past, Present, and Future
IEEE PES, PELS, and IAS joint chapter meeting
Industry Trends & Innovation: Past, Present, and Future
Speaker: Dr. Damir Novosel, President of IEEE PES Society and Quanta-Technology
Reliable and efficient electrical grid operation is critical to society. Electrical utility industry has been experiencing significant changes in the last decade caused by new technology trends, environmental drivers and weather patterns, changing public needs, and regulatory requirements. The electrical power and energy industry in the next decades will be different than it is today to meet the demands of the society and address challenges. We are at a crossroads in making business and technical decisions that will allow us to optimally and cost-effectively manage the grid.
The presentation will address how electrical grid developed since the first electric power plant, what some of the challenges and opportunities facing modern grids are, and how industry trends and innovation will shape the future grid. Topics discussed are:
- Industry Trends and Transformation Drivers
- Optimized hybrid grids: Incorporating distributed energy resources, microgrids, storage and electrical vehicles
- Wide area monitoring, protection, and control
- Education and workforce needs
- Key success factors to prepare for the grid of the future.
It will also address how IEEE provides technical leadership by tapping volunteers to offer an unbiased and independent service to the industry, benefiting from synergies between private and public sectors (utilities, vendors, academia, national labs, regulatory organizations, and other industry participants).
