2nd Asia Pacific Electricity Innovation Smart Grid 2011

Broadening the Smart Grid landscape, the 2nd Electricity Innovation Smart Grid 2011 will examine important transformational forces shaping the utility industry today & how these help or hinder the successful execution of a coherent Smart Grid vision in countries implementing Smart Grid innovation. The Smart Grid will deliver a deluge of data that utilities (along with utility regulators, consumers & businesses) are challenged to understand and manage. The future of electric utilities will undergo major transformations because of smart grid technologies. Drivers include the electrification of transport & the availability of real time information about energy creation, transport, storage and use.

As smart grid technologies alter the grid, will the utilities sector see disruption to their business operation? Utilities with entrenched business practices will be challenged to use this data, and we already see companies like Google and Microsoft moving boldly into the energy arena.

Clean renewables like wind & solar are important but intermittent energy sources in the Smart Grid. Successful integration of the renewables will require energy storage technologies to ensure the reliability and consistency for generation & transmission of power on the grid. New & upgraded transmission highway is needed to bring wind & solar to urban loads.

This conference will discuss these challenges and more. It will provide the best learning destination in sharing in-depth knowledge on technologies, latest trends & put into scrutiny the actual test projects around the world.

Listen to the industry players` voice- auto industry, smart grid vendors (AMI, software for DR, etc.), utilities, telecommunications & all in the transmission & distribution industry. This conference will be the best networking destination for all the players in the field of Smart Grid.
