Disaster Recovery: Lessons from the Field
Tuesday, April 20, 1:00 ˆ 3:00 PM, Room 296
Moderator: Shelby Grosz, Entergy
 
When a major disaster strikes a utility, restoration of service is a priority for the utility and customers alike.  Planning is essential, but there are always lessons learned from the actual work.  This session will present some lessons learned in the field from people who led the recovery after a disaster.
 
* Katrina: Restoration and Recovery in the Central Business District
   Shelby P. Grosz, Sr., Entergy
* 9/11: Recovering the ConEd Network after September 11, 2001
   Daniel Simon, Consolidated Edison
* Hurricane Gustav: Recovering from a Major Transmission Disaster

Managing the Charge/Discharge Operations of the Electric Vehicle: The Role of the Smart Grid
Wednesday, April 21, 1:00 ˆ 3:00 PM, Room 296
Moderator: Saifur Rahman, Virginia Tech
 
Panel Summary: As a significant number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are rolled out in 2010 and 2011, there will be marked impact on the electric power distribution network. This represents both a challenge and an opportunity. With thousands of PEVs - with electrical loads ranging from 5 kW to 50 kW for each - in their distribution network, electric utilities will take on a new role as transportation fuel providers. While the uneven distribution of PEVs on their distribution network will create unexpected hot spots on their distribution network, it will also provide them the opportunity to make more kWhr sales, preferably during off-peak hours, and use the batteries in the PEVs as distributed storage devices to reduce peak demands. This panel will discuss how the smart grid will help to manage the impacts of PEVs on power distribution system operations. It will also outline the opportunities, and protocols and technologies necessary to operate the PEV batteries as storage devices.

Panelists:
G. Larry Clark, PE, Alabama Power Company
Alan Dulgeroff, San Diego Gas & Electric

Rethinking T&D Architecture ˆ Part 1: Beyond the Smart Grid
Thursday, April 22, 8:00 ˆ 10:00 AM, Room 291
Moderator: Anthony Mazy, PE, California Public Utilities Commission
 
What might the Electric power System look like, if we were building it over today from the ground up?  If form follows function, what functions should be anticipated for the Grid of the 21st century?  Panelists from the utility industry, information industries, consumer advocates, academia, and prospective new market entrants compare notes and discuss differing visions.
