SI01Tu3 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 George Bartlett, Entergy SI02Wd3 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 Arindam Maitra, EPRI SI03Th1 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. * Planning for a Sustainable T&D System Joydeep Mitra, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Michigan State University * Plausible Futures for Electric Transmission Architecture Merwin Brown, PhD, Director, Electric Grid Research, California Institute for Energy and Environment Lloyd Cibulka, California Institute for Energy and Environment * Evolution of T&D Architecture on a Pervasive Communication Platform Faramarz Maghsoodlou, Ph.D., Executive Architect, Smart Grid Solutions, Cisco * Grid 2.0 Paul De Martini, VP, Advanced Technology, Southern California Edison Company SI04Th3 Rethinking T&D Architecture ˆ Part 2: Paths Forward Thursday, April 22, 1:00 ˆ 3:00 PM, 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. * Smart Grid ˆ Myths, Vision & Reality ˆ a Path Forward Paul Halpin, Science Applications International Corporation * US DOE Shaping the Cool Smart Green Grid Stephanie Hamilton, Total Energy Company John Kueck, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Merrill Smith, RDSI Program Manager, U.S. Department of Energy * Development of Architecture for the Integration of Distributed Energy Resources Joe Hughes, Sr. Technical Manager, Electric Power Research Institute * Re-invent the Grid with the iPhone Paul Savage, CEO, Nextek Power Systems Inc. * A National HVDC Grid Bruce Carol, P.E., Q.L.
