WASHINGTON, D.C. – NERC and Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) staff will join international electric power and energy experts at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) Power & Energy Society (PES) General Meeting taking place July 27–31 in Austin. The meeting, “Achieving Deep Decarbonization in the Electric Power System,” will provide a forum for industry experts to share and discuss the latest issues and developments in power system design and improvements in equipment performance.
The following staff members, who are active in IEEE-PES committees, subcommittees, and working groups concentrating on the technical contributions to the reliable operation of the bulk power system, are participating as conference panelists and authors and co-authors of peer-reviewed technical papers:
- Christopher Claypool, Data Science Analyst, Advanced System Analytics and Modeling
- Hasala Dharmawardena, Senior Engineer, Engineering and Security Integration
- Svetlana Ekisheva, Principal Data Science Advisor, Advanced System Analytics and Modeling
- Jack Gibfried, Engineer, Power Systems Modeling and Analysis
- Dan Goodlett, Electricity Sector Operational Technology Cyber Security Specialist, Engineering and Security Integration
- Howard Gugel, Senior Vice President
- Bill Lamanna, Senior Engineer, Reliability Assessments and Technical Committees
- Mark Lauby, Senior Vice President and Chief Engineer
- Evan Mickelson, Engineer, Power Systems Modeling and Analysis
- Wei Qiu, Lead Engineer, Event Analysis
- JP Skeath, Manager, Engineering and Security Integration
- Aung Thant, Principal Engineer, Engineering and Security Integration
- Sofia Weir, Senior Physical Security Analyst, E-ISAC
“NERC and its mission hold a place among countless other critical roles necessary to maintaining a safe and reliable grid,” said Lauby, NERC's senior vice president and chief engineer. “Year after year, the IEEE PES meeting has provided an excellent forum for professionals embodying this wide diversity of specialization, perspective and experience to synthesize ideas and expand their perspectives. The annual meeting continues to bring meaningful impact to NERC representatives, especially in tackling novel and challenging developments in bulk power system reliability, resilience and security issues.”
NERC is honored to be a Silver sponsor of this event, supporting the PES mission to be the leading provider of scientific and engineering information on electric power and energy for the betterment of society. Registration is required.
