COSTA MESA, Calif. - Sept. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Energy professionals from around the world will be gathering in Costa Mesa, California, October 6-8 for the 2nd Annual Demand Response World Forum 2015. The event will explore the latest automated demand response (ADR) technologies and strategies for enabling the distributed energy resources landscape of the 21st Century power grid.
The event website is: www.drworldforum.com
Over 40 top speakers will join technology innovators and business executives to examine the evolving role of ADR in enabling an integrated and flexible network that is responsive to a wide range of energy resources, marketplace entities, and customer energy demand and generation.
“Demand response is one resource within the distributed energy technology family that utilities are actively pursuing with grid modernization and advancement, and new fleet scale supply development,” says Daniel Coran, Editor of the Smart Grid Observer and program manager for the conference. “The Forum is about technology, but more specifically how to use DR and this new resource family to further reduce system risk and extract additional benefits across the energy market’s entire value chain.”
Keynoting the event will be Terry Oliver, Chief Technology Innovation Officer at Bonneville Power Administration; and Walter L. Schindler, Managing Partner & Founder, SAIL Capital Partners.
Organized by the Smart Grid Observer, the conference will look at how industry leaders such as California and New York are rethinking energy distribution through initiatives such as community choice aggregation (CCA) programs and the Distributed Energy Resource Provider (DERP) initiative, as well as the emerging role of innovations such as microgrids in the evolving distribution network. Other topics include emerging trends in residential DR, strategies for improving DR performance, and the experiences of leading utilities to date in implementing auto-DR programs.
The Forum also features a full-day, pre-conference Workshop on "Implementing Automated Demand Response using OpenADR" for utilities, DR designers, and program implementers who are planning to use OpenADR 2.0. A second pre-conference Workshop will focus on theoretical and practical aspects of the next generation in integrated demand side management, and demand response in particular.
Among the 40+ companies presenting at the Forum are: Southern California Edison, Reliant / NRG Energy, San Diego Gas & Electric, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Comcast, Cal ISO, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Midwest ISO, Pacific Northwest National Lab, EnerNOC, MelRok, Environmental Defense Fund, Schneider Electric, Skipping Stone, Joule Assets, and many others.
