Dear Members/Select Non-members,
Organized by
IEEE Power & Energy, Industrial Application & Power Electronics Jt. Society of IEEE Hyderabad Section
In association with IEEE GOLD AG Hyderabad
National Symposium and Technology Exhibition 2013
MicroGrids: Laboratories to Real Markets
February 22-23, 2013 | Danube Auditorium, Mahindra Satyam Learning World | Hyderabad
A Microgrid (MG) or localized mini-grids are independent energy sources paired with storage, automated with intelligent devices and often islanded or connected to macro-grid. MG leverage renewable & distributed generation and is an inevitable solution to the imminent energy crisis with lower environmental impact than current energy technologies. However for this current renewable energy boom to retain this pace, there is an urgent need to understand the barriers of proliferation, latest technologies, build broad strategies and discover importance of energy independence.
NSTE 2013 will present a valued forum to discuss modern approaches, exchange ideas, share best practices, exhibit innovations or find alternative solutions to contemporary challenges in renewable energy, microgrid and allied areas. Focus areas are mainly Technology & Market penetration Issues, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Renewable Energy (RE), Distributed Generation (DG), Automation and Analytics in Real-time deployments.
