Conference Overview

A smarter electric grid works to strengthen our nation’s economy, environment, security and independence.

Smart-grid technologies can handle the more complex power flows of the modern grid. They allow direct participation by consumers, accommodate all types of generation and storage options, enable new products, services, and markets, provide power quality for the digital economy, optimize asset utilization and operational efficiency, anticipate and respond to system disturbances, and operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster.

The future of the grid depends on technological advances and how energy providers adapt to the changing market.

Big data, advanced analytics and IoT technologies (Internet of Things) are essential technology drivers in smart grids whereby analytics shift to the edge, as in edge computing.

The event will discuss the key trends and future challenges in the implementation of smart grid, facilities for the workforce training and education of the Smart Grid, scalability for Smart Infrastructure System, monitoring and control of power quality in Smart Grids, IoT and cloud-based solutions, security, flexibility, and more.

Our attendies will have the opportunity to network with experts in the field while learning and sharing their experience.
