SG 2014 - Symposium on Smart Grids

Smart grids aim at improving power system reliability, security, sustainability, efficiency and flexibility through distributed and coordinated intelligence at all levels of the electric power grid ? generation, transmission & distribution and end customers. At the core of the Smart Grid are control, information and communications technologies that aim to empower today's power grid with the capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, automated fault detection / restoration and black start capability, and integration of distributed renewable energy sources into the grid. The objective of this Symposium on Smart Grids is to bring together professionals from academia and industry to exchange ideas, explore enabling technologies, and provide an intellectual forum to discuss issues that are relevant to the smart grid.
