The July issue of the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter brings forth articles from international Smart Grid experts, sharing their insight, information and lessons learned:
- John McDonald, IEEE Fellow and Director of Technical Strategy and Policy Development for GE’s Digital Energy business, presents valuable lessons learned through Smart Grid field deployments, which practitioners can build upon to improve future project performance to achieve a smarter grid;
- China’s Approach to the Smart Grid is discussed by IEEE members Jinyu Wen, who leads the Smart Grid Operation & Control Research Group in the China State Key Laboratory of Advanced Electromagnetic Engineering and Technology, and Haibo He, who is a member of the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island;
- In the article, What the Smart Grid Means—and Doesn’t Mean—for India, Rahul Tongia, principal research scientist at the Center for Study of Science, Technology, and Policy in, Bangalore, notes the nation’s unique grid requirements where the most important technologies will be those that help constrain peak demand and peak load growth at reasonable cost, while cutting losses. Dr. Tongia works closely with utilities in India and the Indian government on smart grid issues;
- The role of the Smart Grid Information Clearinghouse web portal is described by IEEE Fellow Saifur Rahman, who directs the Center for Energy and the Global Environment, and is editor-in-chief of the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy. His co-author is IEEE member Manisa Pipattanasomporn, an assistant professor at the Advanced Research Institute working on multiple research grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Energy on topics related to smart grid and microgrids.
