The Ninth Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technology (ISGT 2018), sponsored by the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES), will be held on February 19-22, 2018 at the Washington Hilton, in Washington, DC.
The Conference will feature plenary sessions, panel sessions, technical papers, and tutorials by experts representing the electric utilities, regulators, technology providers, academia, the national laboratories, and both federal and state governments. This year’s theme is “Grid Transformation”. The Conference will focus on the advancements and applications of both technologies and practices as applied to grid planning, operations, markets and policies to address the effective integration of variable and distributed energy resources, as well as the growing importance of participation of customers and third parties in the generation and management of electricity. The conference is organized along three tracks: 1) emerging methods and approaches for transmission and distribution system planning and analysis, 2) the application of technology and supporting tools for transmission and distribution system operations, and 3) market and policy considerations associated with grid transformation.
Track InformationTrack 1 – Grid Planning and AnalysisThe task of determining prudent technology investment strategies has become significantly complicated with the advent of distributed resources and evolving customer preferences. We are challenged with the prospect of integrating and extracting value from many disparate elements (including grid components and distributed energy resources that now have embedded intelligence), and that exhibit variable and particular behaviors within electricity delivery systems.
Track 2 – Distribution System Operations, Functions, and ToolsThe electric power grid is going through fundamental changes as a result of a multitude of drivers. The future grid will face many technical operational challenges and provide many opportunities. This track will examine the changes required in the utility functions and processes dealing with distribution and transmission systems, remedial actions to mitigate the challenges and technology solutions to enable and facilitate the functions.
Track 3 – Markets and Policy TrackWith the increasing levels of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) the electric industry is witnessing the extension of the more than two-decade old Transmission Open Access paradigm (TOA) to Distribution Open Access (DOA). Within this context, regulators and utilities are examining approaches to effectively value the contribution of DERs and determine the appropriate business, utility and market models that can effectively utilize them.
