IEEE Smart Grid is a group of experts and professionals with diverse backgrounds from various fields and segments of energy and power system, working towards “Mission” “Vision” and “Objectives” of IEEE Smart Grid.
IEEE Smart Grid provides expertise and guidance for individuals and organizations involved in the modernization and optimization of the power grid. IEEE Smart Grid was conceptualized and led under the direction of Wanda Reder, former President of the IEEE Power & Energy Society, as a New Initiative in IEEE Future Directions Committee (FDC) in 2011.
The IEEE FDC, in association with Societies, Councils, and Organizational Units (OUs), anticipated and determined the direction of existing, new, and emerging technologies and related issues, and spearheaded their investigation and development by IEEE. Taking a holistic view, the FDC emphasized new, emerging technical areas and drove them to maturity within the IEEE infrastructure. Additionally, the FDC served as a liaison to and fostered cooperative efforts among Societies, Councils, and industry to develop new products and services in emerging topics.
In November 2013, after two years as an incubation project of FDC, IEEE voted to graduate IEEE Smart Grid from the IEEE FDC to a fully functioning program of IEEE. It was agreed that the IEEE Power & Energy Society would become the new administrator of the Initiative and continue and grow upon its momentum, beginning in January 2014.
Under new structure in 2024, IEEE Smart Grid moved under IEEE Smart Cities (SCT) which brings together IEEE’s broad array of technical societies and organizations to advance the state of the art for smart city technologies for the benefit of society and to set the global standard in this regard by serving as a neutral broker of information amongst industry, academic, and government stakeholders.
As almost all segments Smart Cities infrastructure involve and need a reliable energy & power system to sustain. Smart Grid plays a pivotal role in making our cities smarter and is a good fit for this new transition.
Serve as a Credible and Authoritative Platform by:
Facilitating successful energy transition in mitigating GHG emissions utilizing clean energy sources and a reliable, resilient and adaptive grid utilizing emerging technologies along with IT/OT convergence at global level (through global collaborative efforts)
Develop and provide a conducive atmosphere for stakeholders involved in the energy & power sector through a community of energy experts and power system professionals through global collaborative efforts in achieving 2050 Net Zero targets through energy transition.
and facilitate the successful development and implementation of technologically advanced, environment-friendly, secure, reliable, resilient and adaptive power transmission & distribution grid around the world.
Provide a professional advice and strategic perspective on issues relating to climate change and energy transition along with grid resiliency and adaptation; through global collaborative efforts with key stakeholders through:
The 2014 IEEE QER Power Point Presentations are now available.
