ACEC Presents Smart Grid Market Opportunities Seminar

Smart Grid Market to Grow to $42 Billion by 2014
ACEC Online Seminar Separates the Realities from the Hype

You've heard about Smart Grid and perhaps read about it lately... now get the real details and the business perspective on this emerging market.

As U.S. and European power transmission networks become increasingly antiquated and ill-suited to handle new challenges of alternative or decentralized electricity generation, the federal government and forward-looking cities are beginning to implement Smart Grid.

Join us on Wednesday, February 10, 1:30-3 p.m. ET, for an important and informative online seminar, Engineering the Smart Grid: New Opportunities for Engineering Companies.

What is Smart Grid? What are the opportunities and implications of this much talked about system? Seminar participants will get an inside look at Smart Grid technologies, system capabilities, and the role of engineering firms.  Presenters Richard Zambuni, Bentley Systems, and Juan Torres, Iberdrola Engineering and Construction will explain Smart Grid from the engineering and utilities perspectives.

This special interactive presentation will introduce the concepts of demand response, thermal storage, load control, building electricity automation, distribution system upgrades and utility communications, and show how the U.S. electrical system will move from a 100-year-old unidirectional broadcast approach to a multi-layer routing approach that is more efficient in its use of a blend of power-generating resources.
