The 2022 IEEE PES Grid Resilience Workshop brings together experts from academia, government, industry, and national labs to discuss and present the most recent research and development and real-world implementation activities to enhance the cyber-physical resilience of power grids. The workshop will discuss the need for intersectoral collaboration and highlights the need for a diverse workforce to support communities in enhancing their grid resilience.
The 2022 IEEE PES Grid Resilience Workshop is organized by the Utah Smart Energy Laboratory (U-Smart), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, and co-sponsored by the IEEE PES Utah Chapter, the IEEE PES Bulk Power Systems Operation Subcommittee, and the IEEE PES Task Force on Operational Tools for Enabling Resiliency.
When: September 8, 2022, 7:30-17:00 MDT
Where: Sorensen Molecular Biotechnology Building (SMBB) Auditorium, the University of Utah. (36 S Wasatch Dr., Salt Lake City, UT 84112)
Live Broadcast: The event will be broadcasted live as a PES Webinar (through Webex).
Registration (free, limited capacity) is required to attend the workshop.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be offered through the IEEE PES Resource Center after the workshop.
