Today’s smart grid revolution is driven by energy and sustainability concerns. But utility, engineering, technology and software firms need to get behind the hype to understand the projects and partnerships characterizing the market today, and the companies and solutions with high potential to shape the future smart grid. They must also navigate the practical complexities of a dynamic smart grid ecosystem by addressing issues such as interoperability, transmission, distribution, metering, connecting consumers and cyber security.

Join Peter Lanctot, Technical Officer at the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC); Stuart Neumann, Senior Manager at Verdantix; and Andrew Reese, Senior Manager, Standards & Regulatory solutions at IHS Inc., as they discuss benefits, business value and maturity of smart grid technologies as well as implementation and management of smart grid standards.

Learn how the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed the framework and provides strategic guidance to all Technical Committees involved in Smart Grid work and has developed the Smart Grid Roadmap which covers standards for interoperability, transmission, distribution, metering, connecting consumers and cyber security. IEC Standards are recognized as being crucial in the development of Smart Grids everywhere and IEC has provided advice on fast-moving ideas and technologies likely to form the basis for new International Standards or Technical Committees in the area of Smart Grid technologies.

Also hear from Verdantix, how senior executives and managers in strategy, product and portfolio management, and marketing can understand the risks and opportunities for their firm. Based on deal flow data and customer and supplier interviews, Verdantix will analyze the sustainability and business value of smart grid innovations and review the perspectives, risks and opportunities in the smart grid ecosystem. Understand smart grid solutions including demand response, EV charging and home energy management systems.

Don’t miss this opportunity to understand the sustainability benefits, business value and maturity of smart grid technologies, as well as the critical standards necessary to the traverse the smart grid revolution.
