California is embarking on an effort to modernize its electric grid in order to support many of California’s overall energy policies including Governor Brown’s goals to build 12,000 MW of renewable distributed generation and 8,000 MW of large scale renewables and necessary transmission lines by 2020. The importance of current standards development and cyber security work in order to achieve California’s goals should not be underestimated. As many power engineers are aware, there are significant ratepayer costs, electric reliability, power quality, and workforce and public safety technical challenges that will need to be addressed with further grid modernization efforts.
The San Francisco Power & Energy Society is pleased to sponsor this one-day workshop and has invited industry experts with extensive relevant knowledge and experience and who are also core figures in national and international standards development and cyber security efforts. SF PES would like to invite all IEEE members to attend this workshop along with other power industry professionals, university faculty and students, and especially engineers with current or previous power engineering experience. SF PES hopes to inform, inspire and engage you all in this important work.
