Philip Skipper from Siemens Infrastructure & Cities presented at the 4th Annual Smart Grids & Cleanpower 2012 Conference on decarbonizing energy systems through large wind and power projects and low-carbon networks. The presentation discussed the need to balance energy security, incentives for clean energy, and ensuring a smart grid without mistakes. It also examined microgrids as a learning platform and stepping stone between wind power and low-carbon networks, and as a predictor of how energy communities will operate in the future.

In the 1880s, Nikola Tesla invented the 3-phase 60 Hz technology still used in the North American electrical grid, which was then commercialized by George Westinghouse, who was competing with Thomas Edison.
One hundred and twenty five years later, the Smart Grid aims to solve this 19th century problem using 21st century systems. And the 21st century itself brought a new set of challenges to be met: energy efficiency, integration of distributed and renewable energy, charging of electrical vehicles, pressure on costs, environmental concerns, and consumer expectations.
This conference will define what is a Smart Grid, outline its main objectives, present how it is being deployed, and discuss some on-going technological and societal challenges that the industry is facing.

The world’s cities occupy only 2 % of the Earth, but account for up to 80 % of the overall energy consumption and 75 % of the carbon emissions. About half of the world’s population lives in cities today. How can cities contribute to a more sustainable future?
The Value and Power of Distributed Energy in MinnesotaJohn Farrell
How clean, local energy can help Minnesota achieve electricity self-reliance and maximize the state's economic benefits.

Light and heat from the sun is the most abundant energy source on earth.The solar energy that hits our planet’s surface in one hour is about equal to the amount of energy consumed by all human activities in a year. Moreover, electricity generated by solar power is emission-free and can help mitigate climate change as well as reduce our dependence on finite carbon-based energy sources.
ABB offers a range of solutions that not just help capture the sun’s rays in the most effective manner but also help achieve grid parity.
Electrical Energy Storage: An Issue for Consumers and Power Players 2Lately, ...Aidan Vosz
Lately, we are burdened by a few things electricity: The rising costs of our household power rates, electrical hazards and how to avoid it, alternative to electrical energy for our use, energy shortage and outages. At least these are the issues we ordinary citizens face. However, if you ask the electrical utility companies, these issues are secondary concerns compared to the one they are tackling right now: The issue of electrical energy storage.

High End metering is focused on a much smaller market including:
Production – Generation metering
Transmission – Grid metering for bulk power exchange
Distribution – Large industrial customers and renewable grid connections
Thirty states in the United States have renewable portfolio standards. The U.S. EPA is targeting many coal plants for shutdown. Electricity rates may rise 50% in five years. Electric vehicles could add significant strain to an aging infrastructure. Wind and solar could add significant instability to power quality and reliability. Demand response (DR) is the answer to remaining globally competitive in an uncertain energy future. Once a novel way to earn extra cash, DR is rapidly becoming a key competitive strategy as utilities realize they must encourage more interaction with customers. Explore the evolving world of DR and how to plan for it. Copyright AIST Reprinted with Permission
