Course: Moving Toward a Smarter Electric Grid:

Organized by: IEEE Boston Section and MIT

Overview:

IEEE Boston Section is launching a new Series of Lectures, Moving Toward a Smarter Electric Grid with “Demystifying the Smart Grid”, a one-day Symposium at MIT. The Smart Grid is essentially the convergence of information technology, remote sensing, and the energy generation and distribution networks. Its mission is to more effectively use energy resources across a power grid backbone.

“Demystifying the Smart Grid” will provide an overview of the Smart Grid and the technical, business and social opportunities it presents. It will survey the core technologies and developing standards, and provide a forum to discuss the major aspects of integrating energy generation, distribution, storage, and potentially real-time load matching technologies.

“Demystifying the Smart Grid” is intended for those who are interested in learning more about the Smart Grid from leaders in the field, and is a good introduction for the subsequent detailed technical meetings.
