8. PES GOALS 2011 • Promote power industry involvement in PES • Increase & retain PES membership worldwide, and make student, GSM and GOLD member participation more meaningful • Assure that PES is in the forefront of energy topics and emerging technologies (smart grid, renewables, distributed generation, electric vehicles, storage, demand response, etc.) • Expand services to members worldwide including education, conferences, publications, standards and “PES Careers” • Improve the effectiveness of meetings & conferences • Increase the benefits to PES from standards efforts • Improve the effectiveness of technical committee organization

9. PES SMART GRID ACTIVITIES • New Transaction Journals • Sustainable Energy • Smart Grid • Conferences • ISGT Series • Smart Grid Day at T&D • SG Tracks at most major conferences • Smart Grid Reprint Journals 2010 & 2011

10. PES SMART GRID ACTIVITIES • Named Erich Gunther Member at Large in Charge of PES Smart Grid Activities • Technical Committees Working Hard to Update and Create Standards Required for Smart Grid Evolution • Wanda Reder leading IEEE Initiative to coordinate Smart Grid Activities across all of IEEE. • IEEE Smart Grid Portal (http://smartgrid.ieee.org/) • IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter First Issue January 13, 2011 • Conf Calls every 2 Weeks

11.

12. PES Scholarship Program • Partnering with power & energy stakeholders to increase the number of new engineers pursuing power & energy careers • Targeting $12 Million over 3 year period • Includes 3 year scholarships for Soph-Sr ($2k, $2k, $3k) plus industry internship • Intended to supplement, not replace, existing funding sources

13. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY • Part of Reason for PES Name Change • Solar, Wind, Storage, et al • NPEC is part of this • Need NPEC to collaborate with other TCs • Meet with rest of PES at conferences, JTC, etc • Be more visible—rest of PES wants to know what NPEC is doing! • How can we make this happen?

14. COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE • Formerly part of IEEE HTC (Humanitarian Technology Challenge) • Open source solar and wind power solutions for remote areas inaccessible by the “grid” • In process of delivering 6 solar trailers to Haiti • Wind solution by PES and other volunteers in Seattle area. Nearing final design.

15. TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES • Networking • 17 Technical Committees • + 6 Coordinating Committees • 350+ Standards (40 % of IEEE total) • 100+ SG Standards across all of IEEE • Working hard to get those updated

16. IEEE Smart Grid: Standards Over 100 standards spanning smart grid spectrum Examples: IEEE C37.118: Synchronized phasor measurements IEEE 1686: IEEE Standard for Substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) Cyber Security Capabilities IEEE P2030: creating a guide for smart grid interoperability that sets the stage for future standards making IEEE P1815: fast-tracking adoption of DNP3 as an IEEE standard to promote interoperability, strengthen security and maintain compatibility Coordinating with NIST and other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) 16

17. PES AWARDS • Some awards not given due to lack of nominees • Most folks don’t take the time to consider nominating deserving individuals • Deserving individuals are not nominated for IEEE Awards either • PES Awards at http://www.ieee-pes.org/membership/awards
