9th Annual IEEE Green Technologies Conference
29-31 March 2017
Denver, Colorado
“The IEEE Green Technologies Conference continues to bring together scientists, researchers and practitioners from around the world to develop realistic solutions to the current energy crisis, and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. The conference features two days of technical presentations, representing the cutting edge of clean energy research, development, and demonstration. This international conference convenes attendees from China, Taiwan, Japan, India, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and all over the United States – universities, industry, government and national laboratories. Although the conference smaller than some IEEE events, it certainly did not lack diversity, creativity and the overwhelming enthusiasm of attendees and presenters.”

Distributed Energy Resources – Understanding the Current Challenges and Opportunities – NREL
Distributed energy resources (DER) are widely distributed geographically and are intermittent in nature, thus they are difficult to control and dispatch like the more traditional sources of generation. Large electrical power networks have historically been designed using centralized power generating stations supplying customer loads over interconnected transmission and distribution networks. Increasing the penetration level of distributed renewable energy sources requires adjustments to the existing operating procedure and design philosophy of large-scale power systems.
