Upcoming Conferences: Clemson Power Systems Conference 2008

The Clemson PSC has grown over the past several years to become one of the country’s most important university sponsored electric power conferences. With active participation from electrical equipment suppliers such as Areva, Elster, GE, Itron, Quanta, SEL and Siemens, and with a nice mix of speakers from utilities, industry and academia, the conference fills the need for improved person-to-person communications among all participants in looking ahead and planning for the power industry of the future.

Chuck Newton will be participating in the upcoming Clemson Power System Conference being held at South Carolina’s Clemson University from March 11 to March 14 this year, serving as a panelist and presenter on the March 12 afternoon discussion entitled, “Integrating Advanced Metering with Distribution Systems Operations.”

Other topical discussions include Integrating Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles with Distribution Systems; Renewable Energy Challenges: Present and Future Directions; Renewable Energy in Power Systems; Syncrophasors: Principles, Application and Implementation; Utility of the Future; Advances in Digital Protection.

Keynote speakers during the week will include: Larry Sollecito, GM of General Electric Digital Systems; Dr. Ed Schweitzer, CEO of Schweitzer Engineering Labs; Jim Hicks, CEO of Shaw Engineering Services; and Matt Smith of Duke Energy.
