The 2024 Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies, North America (ISGT NA 2024) will be held in Washington DC from February 19–22, 2024. The theme for 2024 is “Innovations for a Decarbonized Resilient Grid.”
The fifteenth Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies, North America (ISGT NA 2024), sponsored by the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES), will be held at the Grand Hyatt in Washington DC, on February 19–22, 2024 under the theme “Innovations for Decarbonized Resilient Grid”.
The electric power system is undergoing a fundamental transformation fueled by historic investment in modernizing the transmission and distribution infrastructure and integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and technologies to enhance the grid resilience. These are driven primarily by the need for decarbonization, evolving customer needs, and need for flexible and resilient operation of the electricity grid in the face of resource variability, extreme natural events, and increasing occurrence of malicious cyber and physical attacks. These changes are resulting in an enormous increase in the system complexity, where the number of active control points in the grid is too high to be managed manually. Therefore, there is a need for innovation in design, integration, operation, testing, and evaluation of newer technologies and processes in order to enable and accelerate progress towards increased levels of automation under both normal and emergency grid conditions. Additionally, new structural and architectural constructs will be critical for allowing local decision-making which is a key steppingstone in realizing a “decarbonized resilient” grid.
ISGT NA 2024 is a forum to discuss the latest issues, trends, and innovative technologies for the decarbonized resilient grid of the future. The Conference will feature keynote and plenary sessions, panel sessions, and technical papers presented in poster sessions, as well as pre-conference tutorials.
The Conference Organizing Committee invites practitioners and researchers worldwide to submit papers and panel proposals on conference topics grouped into the following three tracks:
Call for Papers
The Conference Organizing Committee invites interested authors to submit papers for review and presentation in poster format (if accepted). Complete manuscripts (maximum length 5 pages, and in accordance with the PES Author’s Kit) are to be submitted by August 1, 2023 (11:59 PM EST). Click here for more information.
Call for Panels
The Conference Organizing Committee invites interested parties to submit proposals for panel sessions for review and presentation (if accepted). The format of panel sessions typically consists of three to four speakers, and a session chair who also serves as the panel moderator. Each panel session is typically expected to be 1.5 hours long. Proposals including presentations of electric utility experiences and practical implementations of novel concepts and solutions are encouraged. Click here for more information.
