Powering the Future: A spring seminar series co-hosted by The University of Vermont and Sandia National Laboratories presents… Smart Grid – Challenges & Opportunities. Wednesday, March 23rd, at 4:30pm, in 234 Jeffords Hall on the UVM campus.
The Smart Grid is rapidly changing how electricity is generated, used, and managed in the U.S. In this presentation, Juan Torres – Manager of Energy Systems Analysis at Sandia National Labs – will discuss some of the U.S. smart grid initiatives and the technical, policy, and business challenges that are being encountered.
Members of the Vermont Smart Grid Working Group (VSGWG) are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Vermont Green Offices proudly announces the formation of the Vermont Smart Grid Working Group. Please join us March 9th, from 6-7:30pm, for the first in a series of discussions on smart grid development in Vermont. Facilitated by a variety of industry experts, our Smart Grid Working Group will review smart grid proposals for statewide deployment. Ethan Goldman of VEIC will lead our first discussion.
Vermont Smart Grid Consumer Behavior Research Plans for 2011-2013
Several research projects, sponsored by Efficiency VT and the electric utilities, will examine the potential for consumer behavior change from the deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology in Vermont this year. Ethan Goldman, Measurement & Verification Specialist at Efficiency Vermont, will discuss the AMI or “Smart Grid” technologies that will be deployed state-wide over the next two years and the additional in-home components that will be tested as part of these studies.
Ethan Goldman holds a BS from Hampshire College and an MS from Carnegie Mellon University in Green Informatics. His research has included the behavior-based conservation potential of energy monitoring systems and the development of a Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) system.
