Title: "The SmartGrid: Updating the Electric Grid to Meet the Challenges of the 21st Century"
Speaker: Eric McGinnis, CIS PhD student
Abstract:
As fossil fuels become more expensive and renewable energy becomes more affordable, utility companies face increasing challenges in providing cost-effective, reliable, and green power to their users. In order to do so, utilities must discover and maintain detailed information about networked grid resources involving a wide variety of both hardware and software. There are significant challenges in discovering and coordinating real-time changes in network state that will be required for optimal grid management. This talk will provide a brief overview of the current state of the electric grid and will analyze the implementation and use of distributed grid resources to enable more robust power grids.
