IPU Grid School 2018: Transformation of the Supply Chain for Power April 9-12, 2018 | Kellogg Center, MSU About Grid School

IPU Grid School is designed to improve regulatory capacity for grid-related policy development and decision-making at all government levels in support of innovation, efficiency, and environmental goals. Grid School is open to the public and private sectors, including economic and environmental regulators. The program provides an intensive, interdisciplinary, and interactive educational and professional networking experience. Grid School is objective and rigorous, taught by knowledgeable and independent experts. This program considers the integral role of electricity grids in the energy supply chain and is designed to be responsive to new mandates and infrastructure investments associated with federal and states policies. IPU Grid School is sponsored by the Institute of Public Utilities in collaboration with MSU’s College of Engineering, Argonne National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. IPU Grid School is open to everyone and designed for members of the federal and state regulatory policy community, including commissioners and staff members of the public utility commissions, energy and environmental agency staff, legislative staff, consumer advocates, utility personnel (public and private), engineers, planners, investors, analysts, consultants, attorneys, and others interested in learning about the electricity grid. Attendees receive a certificate of participation and credit toward a Certificate of Continuing Regulatory Education (currently available only to public-sector and nonprofit employees). IPU also can help arrange continuing education credits (for engineers, accountants, attorneys, and others). Topics Covered

§ Fundamentals of power systems and grid infrastructure § Fundamentals of electricity markets and economics § Intersection of wholesale and retail markets § Grid integration for variable energy resources § Resource modeling, planning, and mapping § Energy storage and emerging technologies § Distributed energy resources and their impacts § Integrated resource planning policy and practices § Demand-side energy resources and their evaluation § Cost allocation issues and net metering § Efficiency electrification of transportation and heating § Next generation smart grids, synchronization, and the grid edge § Infrastructure interdependency, cyber-security, and resiliency § Comparative and emerging utility and regulatory models § Future of electricity grids and their regulation

IPU also offers a Sunday preconference program on Introduction to Public Utility Regulation and Ratemaking (1:00 to 6:00 pm). For program details and registration information, please visit www.ipu.msu.edu. For accommodations, please visit https://kelloggcenter.com. Space is limited – please register today!
