IEEE Electrification - December 2022 - 95

reconsidering the use of system
strength metrics in the presence of
GFM devices as well as the importance
of considering the dynamic
behavior of loads. Further, questions
related to model sufficiency, accuracy,
and validation were raised and
discussed. Three research road
maps were presented from the
United States, Australia, and Europe.
Naturally, the research topics overlap,
but also, different solutions
are sought to solve emerging
issues that may be local to a particular
system and also global to
all power systems.

IEEE Grid Edge Conference
T
By Ziang (John) Zhang and Ahad Esmaeilian
HE NEW IEEE PES GRID
Edge Technologies Conference
and Exposition is taking
place on 10-13 April 2023 at the
San Diego Convention Center. The
event will serve as a collaborative
forum, bringing together a variety of
organizations helping to deliver
enhanced productivity, efficiency, and
interoperability to the grid.
A sustainable, reliable, resilient, and
equitable clean power system is a core
requirement against the growing
threats of extreme weather and climate
change. As more distributed
renewable resources, energy storage
systems, and electric vehicles are
interconnected with the grid, new
technologies, markets, and societal
benefits emerge at the power system's
edges. The 2023 IEEE PES Grid Edge
Technologies Conference and Exposition
welcomes utilities, municipalities,
policymakers, industry experts, and
researchers to engage in conversations
about the energy system's future.
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MELE.2022.3211111
Date of current version: 24 November 2022
Hosted by the IEEE Power & Energy
Society (PES), this inaugural event
will feature the following:
x A comprehensive technical program
will be presented. Keynotes
and super sessions will feature the
best minds in the industry working
at the interface of the electric
grid and the customer premise to
discuss and explore topics of particularly
high interest. There will
be more than 40 panels on a
diverse range of important trends;
issues; and real-world applications
and solutions; in addition, there
will be a collegiate program
tailored to help students and
young professionals launch successful
careers in the power and
energy industry.
x A two-day exposition will be held.
There will be a 60,000 ft2 exposition
floor for stakeholders working
in artificial intelligence/
computing solutions; business
intelligence; cybersecurity; grid
modernization; distributed generation;
electric vehicles; energy
storage; energy management;
microgrids; smart cities; the Internet
of Things; and telecommunications.
The exhibit hall at the
2023 IEEE PES Grid Edge Technologies
will have five dedicated technology
stages running in parallel,
including grid modernization,
smart cities, grid connectivity, distributed
resources, and startups.
x A Ph.D. dissertation challenge for
students and recent graduates
will be held.
