Keynote Speaker

The Real Reasons We Must Have a Smart Grid for the 21st Century

23ac714

Dr. Merwin Brown, Co-Director

Electric Grid Research

California Institute for Energy and Environment, University of California

Abstract:

This presentation will examination significant events and trends in the electric industry community that over the last 5 decades exerted a compounding influence of growing complexities and uncertainties for our electric institutions, and their infrastructure and its operation. The 「smart grid」 has become a must for keeping the lights on and electricity prices in check for the early 21st century. The reasons have their roots in trends that started in the 1960s in the electricity industry, largely driven by energy-related public policies responding to changing circumstances in the environment, economics, fuel supplies, technologies and electricity usage practices. By the end of the 20th century, the ways electric systems were planned, owned, built, operated, regulated, used, and bought and paid for would never be the same. The 21st century electric grid owner, operator, planner and regulator face growing uncertainty, complexity, inadequacy, conflict, and the need for flexibility, robustness, real-time situation awareness, probabilistic forecasting and rapid response. No longer can the grid planners and owners 「build」 their way out of these problems using traditional wires, towers and power plants alone. New technologies will be needed to make grid planning, permitting, building and operating easier and less costly, especially technologies that make the grid smarter. The choice in the late 19th century of the alternating current (AC) electric grid, which was promoted by Westinghouse and Tesla and became the grid of the 20th century, instead of the direct current (DC) grid championed by Edison, was enabled by electric transformer technology. Similarly, the emergence of electronic technology, fortuitously about the time the problematic trends began for the 20th century grid, is enabling the smart grid needed for the 21st century.

Luncheon Speaker

Electricity Grid: From Current to Micro to Smart

Mo Jamshidi, Ph.D., DEgr. Fellow IEEE

ACE Laboratory, the University of Texas

San Antonio, TX USA

Abstract:

Over 5 decades have passed from the organized formulation of large-scale systems (LSS) engineering as a branch of control and systems engineering. Today, systems engineering is at a crossroad at the early part of the 21st Century. One of the main challenges of any paradigms in systems engineering is being able to handle complex systems under unforeseen uncertainties via system of systems framework. A System of Systems (SoS) or Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integration of independent operatable and non-homogeneous legacy systems to achieve a higher goal than the sum of the parts. Applications of SoS are quite extensive – examples are future combat mission, Global Warming, Mars missions, Air Traffic System, Global Earth Observation System, Microgrid, Smart Electric Power Grid and home Systems, etc. In this talk the characteristics of current grid and the advent of Microgrid and evolution towards Smart Grid of the 21st Century.
