The workshop will include an introduction to IEEE and its Standards Association. The workshop will also provide an overview of IEEE Smart Grid activities, with a focus on standards that will be of interest to all those who are involved in the smart grid
The interactive panel discussion post presentation is aimed at discovering innovative solutions to drive the next generation of grid interoperability.
According to James Wendorf, Director-Industry Connections, IEEE-SA,” India is a key market for smart grid globally and IEEE-SA being a leader in global smart grid standard efforts we bring much to the table for India, which is a nascent market and quite unique in nature. The workshop is one of our first steps in outreach into India. It will provide an opportunity for us and the attendees to share information, understand local issues in an international context and explore ways to get more involved in driving solutions and standards in partnership with IEEE.”
