2024 Track Descriptions
Advanced Distribution Operations
Technologies and solutions that keep the electric grid running smoothly. Fault location and voltage optimization figure prominently in this track.
Customer Engagement
Customer engagement is increasingly important for resiliency and customer satisfaction. This track covers tools and technologies aimed at keeping the utility/customer relationship mutually beneficial.
Cyber and Physical Security
Whether it’s a physical assault, a safety incident, or a cyberattack, the focus of this track is keeping the grid and workers safe and secure.
Data Analytics
Data is everywhere. It’s collected from smart devices in the field or at the meter, it’s collected from customers, it’s collected from electric vehicles, chargers, and other distributed energy resources. This track looks at best practices for data collection, management, and analytics.
DER for Reliability
Distributed energy resources can be used during an outage to keep critical customers online. DER can also be strategically deployed to balance renewables on the system or reduce peaks when the grid is strained.
Energy Orchestration and the DSO
As more DER are being added to the energy system and as the markets are defined so utilities can truly use them for all that they can provide, distribution utilities will need to evolve into distribution system operators (DSO). This track covers the tools, technologies, tariffs and markets that the electric utility of the future will need to take full advantage of DER on their system.
Storm & Disaster Management
Storms, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, heatwaves, tornados are all happening with more frequently. This track looks at how utilities prepare for disasters and how they ensure the quickest and most efficient recovery after them.
Workforce, Change, and Risk Management
In an industry with so much in transition, the risk of investing in the wrong technology is huge. And once a new system has been identified, what is the most efficient way to roll it out to everyone in the organization? Finally, as the energy universe grows through electrification, how will utilities ensure they have the workforce they need? This track covers best practices for risk management, change management and workforce management.
