OpenSG Users Group Conference

 

Energizing The Smart Grid

 


June 25 – 28, 2012 >> Cincinnati, OH

 

 

Introduction
The OpenSG User Group (OSGug) was formed for users to get information on the progress of the Open Smart Grid (OSG) issues and to share their project experiences.  The user group holds three face-to-face meetings each year where recognized experts share their insights and resolve key technical issues.  Each meeting also includes a pre-conference orientation "boot-camp" and industry networking opportunities.
 
Who Should Attend

Utilities that are using standards-based integration to meet their business challenges will find this conference invaluable. Project managers, system architects, business and IT managers, and control center personnel will all benefit from this meeting.

The conference is open to all current or potential OpenSG users – you do not have to be a UCAIug  member to attend.  Attendees gain firsthand access to OSG experts and come away with new insights on the power of OSG activities.

Envision Center Tour - June 26, 2012 - 5:10-8:30pm

Duke Energy and KEMA will host an evening affair for UCA participants on June 26, 2012 at the Envision Center/SGIL located in Erlanger, KY.  Participants will have the opportunity to view Duke Energy's strategic vision on their end-to-end grid modernization project and have a walk-through of KEMA's Smart Grid Interoperability Lab (SGIL).  KEMA's SGIL offers clients the ability to test end-to-end Smart Grid solutions in a "Live" test environment.  The evening will include demonstrations, videos and several subject matter experts to help you understand the testing, integration and certification that KEMA provides.

 

ANSI/CEA 2045 Modular Communication Interface: Build-and-Test Workshop

This workshop is one of a series that are evaluating the emerging  CEA-2045 standard through a build/test process.  The specification defines the mechanical, electrical, and logical characteristics of a socket interface so that residential products can be compatible with any utility communication system.  The standard leverages existing application-layer standards as possible, and  identifies physical, data link and application elements as needed to assure support of both limited and advanced products.  Participating manufacturers will bring prototype communication modules and end-devices that support the ANSI/CEA-2045 specification and will evaluate the extent to which the interface enables any residential end device to participate in any utility DR program.

 

To participate in this event, you must select this session when you register for the event.  Round-trip transportation is provided from the Cincinnati Hilton to Duke Energy's Envision Center and will leave promptly 5:10pm.  More details will follow.  Envision Center, 4580 Olympic Boulevard, Erlanger, KY 41018 | Phone: 513-287-8454
