Convergence of Utility Distribution with IT
2:00-3:45
As Information Technology permeates many industries, the energy and utility distribution and management disciplines have rapidly adopted these technologies from its earliest days. From the early days of HVAC, energy management was an important driver. The convergence of energy distribution with IT is a subject being developed by a number of initiatives.
Hear experts from technology adopters of energy distribution and management; listen to a discussion on their applications and successes in reducing and controlling their use of energy through the use of the most advanced of IT-based technologies.
This presentation provides an overview of the EPRI IntelliGrid Architecture - a project sponsored by the IntelliGrid Consortium - a public/private partnership created to address the long term communications needs of the power system.
