PES GOALS 2011• Promote power industry involvement in PES• Increase & retain PES membership worldwide, and make

student, GSM and GOLD member participation more meaningful

• Assure that PES is in the forefront of energy topics and emerging technologies (smart grid, renewables, distributed generation, electric vehicles, storage, demand response, etc.)

• Expand services to members worldwide including education, conferences, publications, standards and “PES Careers”

• Improve the effectiveness of meetings & conferences • Increase the benefits to PES from standards efforts• Improve the effectiveness of technical committee

organization

PES SMART GRID ACTIVITIES

• New Transaction Journals– Sustainable Energy– Smart Grid

• Conferences– ISGT Series– Smart Grid Day at T&D– SG Tracks at most major conferences

• Smart Grid Reprint Journals 2010 & 2011

PES SMART GRID ACTIVITIES

• Named Erich Gunther Member at Large in Charge of PES Smart Grid Activities

• Technical Committees Working Hard to Update and Create Standards Required for Smart Grid Evolution

• Wanda Reder leading IEEE Initiative to coordinate Smart Grid Activities across all of IEEE. – IEEE Smart Grid Portal (http://smartgrid.ieee.org/)– IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter First Issue January 13, 2011– Conf Calls every 2 Weeks

ISGT CONFERENCES• ISGT 2010, Gaithersburg, MD• ISGT 2010 Europe, Gothenburg, Sweden• ISGT USA 2011 Anaheim• ISGT Asia 2011• ISGT Middle East 2011, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Nov/Dec• ISGT Latin America 2011• ISGT Europe 2011, Manchester England Dec 5-7• ISGT USA 2012, January, Washington DC area January• ISGT Europe 2012, Berlin, Germany, Oct 2012

PES Scholarship Program

• Partnering with power & energy stakeholders to increase the number of new engineers pursuing power & energy careers

• Targeting $12 Million over 3 year period• Includes 3 year scholarships for Soph-Sr ($2k,

$2k, $3k) plus industry internship• Intended to supplement, not replace, existing

funding sources

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY• Part of Reason for PES Name Change• Solar, Wind, Storage, et al• NPEC is part of this

– Need NPEC to collaborate with other TCs– Meet with rest of PES at conferences, JTC, etc– Be more visible—rest of PES wants to know what

NPEC is doing!

• How can we make this happen?

COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE

• Formerly part of IEEE HTC (Humanitarian Technology Challenge)

• Open source solar and wind power solutions for remote areas inaccessible by the “grid”

• In process of delivering 6 solar trailers to Haiti• Wind solution by PES and other volunteers in

Seattle area. Nearing final design.

TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES• Networking• 17 Technical Committees

– + 6 Coordinating Committees

• 350+ Standards (40 % of IEEE total)

• 100+ SG Standards across all of IEEE– Working hard to get those updated

IEEE Smart Grid: Standards• Over 100 standards spanning smart grid spectrum• Examples:

– IEEE C37.118: • Synchronized phasor measurements

– IEEE 1686: • IEEE Standard for Substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) Cyber Security

Capabilities

– IEEE P2030: • creating a guide for smart grid interoperability that sets the stage for future standards

making

– IEEE P1815: • fast-tracking adoption of DNP3 as an IEEE standard to promote interoperability,

strengthen security and maintain compatibility

• Coordinating with NIST and other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs)
