This session will focus on some of the latest microgrid technology innovations and use cases focusing on reliability, resiliency, cyber security and renewable energy integration.
Speakers:
Ross is an Owner, Partner and Member of the Skipping Stone Board of Directors. Ross joined Skipping Stone in May of 2011 and leads Skipping Stone's Smart Grid and Demand Response Practice. This practice includes leading Skipping Stone's engagement with the US Green Building Council (USGBC) which is enabling LEED points for commercial buildings participating in wholesale and retail electricity demand response programs. With more than 25 years of experience in the energy services and technology business, Ross is recognized as an international leader in the development of new products and services to serve the energy industry. more
Lee leads the power supply team responsible for NCEMC's asset management & compliance (environmental and regulatory), grid infrastructure (transmission, engineering, and grid modernization), and portfolio & resource optimization. He is a member of the NCEMC CyberSecurity steering group and manages the company's EPRI involvement. Prior to his current role, Lee was Vice President of Asset Management at NCEMC, where he led teams responsible for the management and operation of NCEMC-owned power plants, jointly owned resources, and power supply energy operations. He holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, and an MBA in economics from Georgia State University.
Andy is responsible for driving technology roadmaps necessary to align Schneider Electric's product offer portfolio evolutions in order to simplify and enable the deployment of effective grid-edge solutions. Aligned to this mission, his most recent technology attention has been around the combination of advanced battery-based energy storage solutions coupled with highly efficient inverters as enabling sub-systems for broadly integrated distributed energy resources. Beginning with Square D Company in 1985, Andy has led a variety of key product development and technical innovations during his 30+ year tenure with Schneider Electric and holds 21 patents relating to circuit protection, relaying and power control. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University Iowa and an MBA from Duke University.
John Glassmire is a senior advisor for microgrids, battery energy storage and distributed energy at ABB. Trained as a mechanical/electrical engineer, John has extensive experience in the modeling and design of both distributed and tradi-tional energy supply systems. For over a decade, he has performed cost modeling and design optimization for energy systems ranging from small isolated systems, to isolated Arctic diesel grids, to utility inter-connected microgrids, to Pacific and Caribbean islands. An accomplished speaker, he has led training workshops on the issues integrating renew-ables into electrical grids for hundreds of clients worldwide. Prior to joining ABB, he was the Director of Engineering at HOMER Energy. BSME (Rice), MSME (Northwestern).
