“Part of furthering the global smart grid movement is to convene industry experts to share best practices and take advantage of education opportunities,” said IEEE Smart Grid Chair Dr. Massoud Amin. “The development of energy conservation and enabling the integration of more renewable energy is paramount to a reliable, self-healing smart grid and the advancement of smart cities around the world. The next few years are crucial—for every grid-connected person—as we continue to make strides as an industry.”
