Super Session Descriptions
Reincarnation and Evolution of the Electric Vehicle Tuesday, 26 July 8 AM – 12 noon In 2011 electric vehicles have been embraced by the world's largest automotive companies and, before long, will become a significant portion of the transportation mix. What can we extrapolate from recent work? Join a panel of expert utility and automotive engineers for the most up-to-date understanding of what we have learned. Find out the current status of US and international standards. Hear what is happening within automotive standards groups such as the Society of Automotive Engineers. Also presented will be the impact on the Grid of EV charging from recent trials. There will be discussion on unconventional charging techniques such as DC and inductive. Find out about EV's at one of the world's automotive capitals. SAE Hardware Standard Activities - Gery Kissel, SAE J1772TM Task Force Lead, General Motors
SAE Communication Activities - Richard Scholer, SAE J2836TM/J2847/J2931 Task Force Lead, Ford Motor Company NIST Standards Activities Focusing on V2G - Jerry Melcher, Executive Advisor, Quanta Technology DOE PEV Data Collection Program - John G Smart, Idaho National Lab
Energy and the Environment Tuesday, 26 July 1- 5 PM Fossil fuels-such as coal, natural gas and oil-provide most of the energy used, and at the same time, impact the environment across geographical scales. Achieving sustainable and secure energy use requires that energy be developed from renewable and biological resources. It also needs to be produced by cleaner and more efficient technologies, and be used more efficiently and with greater conservation. This session examines the programs that are currently in place to reduce emissions, promote more energy efficient energy use, and improve environmental quality, without disrupting current energy supplies. Energy Decisions in the Midst of Major Regulatory Change - Skiles Boyd, Vice President of Environmental Management and Resources at DTE Energy Water Energy Nexus - Kurt Westermann, Senior Vice President, Director of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Business, Black & Veatch Corp. Energy Storage and Electric Grids: Implementation Challenges and Opportunities - Jim Croce, President and CEO of the Nevada Institute for Renewable Energy Commercialization (NIREC) Chemistry in a Low-Carbon Economy - E. Adam Muellerweiss, Commercial Director, Energy and Climate Change, The Dow Chemical Company Clean, Unlimited Energy - The Next Big Breakthrough - Donna Zobel, President and CEO Myron Zucker, Inc. and Dept. of Commerce Manufacturing Council Vice Chair of the Energy Subcommittee
Energy Storage Wednesday, 27 July 8 AM – 12 noon Energy storage holds great promise in helping our grid meet the challenges it faces in the coming years. Besides pumped hydro and other traditional storage systems, a large variety of electrochemical batteries are now becoming available for grid applications. Traditional battery storage is with large central multi-MWh storage units. An alternative approach is to take advantage of the Smart Grid communication and control infrastructure and aggregate a large number of widely distributed but much smaller kWh-scale battery units to make them function as a multi-MWh central storage unit. This approach, also called "Distributed Bulk Storage", is very promising and can be used at both the distribution and transmission levels. Aggregation of hundreds of kWh-scale Community Energy Storage (CES) units scattered along a distribution feeder can effectively serve as multi-MWh distribution storage. This Supersession has six panelists made up of CES developers, system aggregators and end users sharing their experience to address different aspects of development, testing and deployment of this new technology-agnostic storage platform that is becoming popular among utilities.

Wind Power & Photovoltaic Wednesday, 27July 1 - 5 PM This session covers the latest developments in renewable wind and solar energy, beginning with a look at the General Meeting's host state of Michigan. The technical topics address market operation with variable power sources, extending the experience gained from large-scale wind plant design to large-scale solar plants, and how to integrate ever-larger amounts of renewable generation on distribution systems. The session will include two specially selected conference papers from those submitted to the meeting. Presenters and authors will respond to audience questions and comments in a panel-session format.

Smart Grid Thursday, 28 July Part 1: 8 AM – 12 noon; Part 2: 1 – 5 PM The effort of the Smart Grid is to modernize the grid infrastructure by use of communication. Alternatively, it can provide advanced information that can enable grid analytical technologies. The Smart Grid needs to integrate power system analysis, economics, efficiency, and security to enhance reliability. In this session, the practical implementation and integration challenges of analytics is presented. This one day event will include eight presentations. The morning will be dedicated Analyticfal methods that address advanced operation and planning and the afternoon to integration and implementation efforst that consider practical challenges.
