1st Int’l Conference and Workshop on Transactive Energy
The First International Conference and Workshop on Transactive Energy, which will take place May 23-24 in Portland, OR.
Keynote and plenary speakers for the conference, which will focus on moving transactive energy management from theory to practice, have been announced. Scheduled speakers include:
- Jon Wellinghoff, chairman, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
- Phil Jones, commissioner,Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission and current president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners
- Steve Wright, former administrator and chief executive officer, Bonneville Power Administration
- Bill Parks, senior technical advisor of Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability
- Roland Risser, director of the Building Technologies Office withinDepartment of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
The event’s full schedule is being finalized now and will be available by April 8 at http://www.pointview.com/s/131#home. The format will include plenary and breakout workshop sessions. The workshop sessions will provide an opportunity for participants to help shape the GridWise® Architecture Council’s work on a new Transactive Energy Framework document. This document will consider the broad use of transactive energy techniques within the grid, between the grid and grid-connected facilities, and within facility energy systems.
Space is limited and organizers expect a capacity crowd. Early registration at a discounted rate ends March 31. General registration is currently $350, but will increase to $400 on April 1. Discounts are offered for government, academic and student attendees. To register go to http://pointview.com/s/131#registration.
Some sponsorship opportunities also remain. For more information, go to http://www.pointview.com/s/131#sponsorshipinfo or email kelly@smartgridoregon.org.
Transactive energy involves advanced techniques for managing the generation, consumption or flow of electric power within an electric power system through the use of economic or market based constructs while considering grid reliability constraints. The term “transactive” refers to making energy decisions based on economic value. More information about transactive energy is at http://www.gridwiseac.org/about/transactive_energy.aspx
The GridWise® Architecture Council is organizing the conference with support from DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the Bonneville Power Administration, Smart Grid Oregon, Portland General Electric and others.
About the GridWise® Architecture Council
The GridWise® Architecture Council was convened in 2004 by the Department of Energy with support from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. As a volunteer council, the GWAC includes practitioners and leaders with broad-based knowledge and expertise in power, information technology, telecommunications, financial systems and other fields who are working together toward a coordinated GridWise vision—the transformation of the nation’s energy system into a rich, collaborative network filled with decision-making information exchange and market-based opportunities.

Imagine that for every ten gallons of gasoline put into a vehicle’s fuel tank one or two gallons spilled onto the ground…
Electric conversion losses amount to much the same. For the full story, see our latest “Plugged In” column at the Ventura County Reporter.

Date, Time, and Location
Saturday, May 5, 2012
10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
California State University, Northridge
Abstract
The engineer must learn how to be an effective project manager in order to achieve company and personal goals within the pre-determined constraints. This seminar brings together a few speakers that will share their knowledge of project management. The objective is to expose engineers with the topic while highlighting key information.
Advances in Protective Relay Communications and Applications
Protective relays monitor, control, and protect the power system. As such, these relays have valuable information related to the state of the power system. This presentation examines several applications and related communications requirement. The applications include protection, SCADA, engineering access, and synchrophasors.

Title:
A Historical Perspective of the Evolution of Intelligent Arrays: The PC as a Model and a Lesson for the Smart Grid
Synopsis:
The evolution of the Smart Grid shares many characteristics of the evolution of the architecture of the personal computer: a centralized processing capability surrounded by an array of specialized intelligent agents. The data managed by each subsystem contributes to a greater whole, and the central processing makes sense of the aggregation of data. This presentation takes a detailed look at the history of the personal computer, the development of real and de facto standards, and assesses the benefits and mistakes made along the way. Applying the lessons learned from the PC can help prevent repeating the same mistakes in the Smart Grid.
About the presenter:
Mr. Bill Gervasi has been involved in the definition of Double Data Rate SDRAM since its earliest inception. His background is in computer sciences and career highlights include 19 years at Intel where over the years he was systems hardware designer, software designer, and major accounts manager. Mr. Gervasi subsequently was with S3 where he was a graphics architecture specialist and at Transmeta as memory technology analyst. Most recently he has been with Netlist, SimpleTech, and US Modular driving unique memory module configurations. He has served on the JEDEC Board of Directors and chaired committees for DRAM parametrics and memory modules throughout the development of DDR1 through DDR4. Mr. Gervasi holds numerous patents in memory and packaging design, and has performed expert witness testimony in major intellectual property cases.
