Creating value out of the significant effort and investment in Smart Grid is currently one of the critical issues in this industry.

Moderated by a leading narrator involved with Smart Grid, Marty Rosenberg, this roundtable will delve into the core propositions that are necessary for the industry to flourish in the coming decades. This is a GridWeek discussion that's not to be missed. Martin Rosenberg - Moderator Editor-In-Chief

The GridWeek Advisory Board, comprised of 12 major Smart Grid and energy stakeholder organizations, will recognize Pecan Street Project for its significant achievements in “Extracting Smart Grid Value” -- for all stakeholders, including utilities, consumers, and society at large -- on Tuesday, Oct. 2, at the annual GridWeek conference during the conference’s opening plenary session.
The existing power grid is one of the most complex machines created in the 20th century. With the overlay of an information grid atop of this power infrastructure, with billions of sensing, communicating and other devices installed from generation to consuming devices, the power grid is going to get even more complex.
How do we tame this complexity?
Two keynotes at GridWeek this year will tackle this question. Mickey McManus from MAYA will explain that it's not the billions of devices he's worried about, it's when we talk trillions! Pat Gallagher from NIST will put some perspective on how we can start to systematically think about this challenge from his position at the nation's top organization on standards and technologies.

By definition, Smart Grid is complex. From technology, to business, environment and policy issues, changing the whole way we manage energy will require collaboration of a significant number of stakeholder groups, all with a stake in the success of Smart Grid.
The plenary roundtable on Wednesday at GridWeek will focus on painting the picture of this complexity, and how we should move forward to tame this beast. Panelists from a broad spectrum of Smart Grid stakeholder groups will put issues into perspective. This session is moderated by Paul De Martini, one of the most experienced thought leaders on the subject. Paul De Martini - Moderator Managing Director

| Terry Oliver To be successful in dealing with smart grid, new variable generation, climate change, etc., utilities need to operate disciplined R&D efforts at about 1/2 of 1% of revenues. It''s difficult to run an effective R&D program and utilities generally suck at it. But other companies run effective R&D and we can learn from them. |
