Data, Power and Control: Some thoughts as the Smart Grid Takes Shape

Presented by: Dr. John Gardner

It's been a long time coming, but the form of the Smart Grid is starting to emerge from behind all the smoke and mirrors. From Idaho Power's Advanced Metering Infrastructure project to the sweeping Smart Grid Demonstration project being managed by the Pacific Northwest National Lab throughout the Northwest, some interesting trends are visible. In this talk, we examine a few examples of the new potential of the smart grid as well as some of the research project currently underway at the CAES Energy Efficiency Research Institute (CEERI).

Dr. Gardner is a professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering at Boise State University and Director of the Energy Efficiency Research Institute, a multi-institutional program that is part of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies at the Idaho National Laboratory. John chairs the Campus Sustainability Advisory Board (CSAB), a campus-wide body that coordinates and promotes sustainability practice, education and research at Boise State. He served as chair of the Boise State Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering Dept from 2001 through 2007 and has published more than 40 refereed research papers and 2 textbooks. John is a registered professional engineer in Idaho. Prior to his appointment at Boise State, Dr. Gardner spent 13 years on the faculty at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park where his research in dynamic systems and controls led to publications in diverse fields from railroad freight car dynamics to adaptive control of artificial hearts.
