Luka Lugaric participated in the following tutorials:

Smart Distribution System - tutorial covered the most recent evolution of smart distribution applications and technologies involved in the smart distribution system.  Important applications included traditional distribution automation functions along with advancements in Volt and Var Control, System Monitoring, Distribution Management Systems and Distributed resource integration. Telecommunication and Distribution System Applications Integration on Smart Distribution systems were also a part of the tutorial.

Smart Grid 101 – The Basics of Smart Grid – tutorial discussed the key standards that will underpin the smart grid in the US; introduce  important industry projects that are serving as key test beds; introduce the critical smart grid organizations; provide an understanding of the key technologies that compose a typical smart grid.

Smart Grid Cyber security – Protecting the Smart Grid - This course introduced concepts, terminology and techniques of smart grid cyber security and cyber threats from malicious software and hackers. An overview of evolving best practices and industry standardization efforts provided a knowledge toolkit for further use in power system security related issues.

The conference is one of the largest of its kind, with almost 50 different sessions and committees meeting, nine tutorials and about 1,000 technical papers from the field of power and energy systems. The conference was dominated by the subject of smart grids.

Highlighted presentations and discussions were: Smart metering, as a milestone in motivating energy conservation and efficiency behavior, load shading combined with integration of different types of Market mechanisms to create a level playing field among various actors in the new grid, whereas large efforts are going to facilitate the power transactions interface; Communication - data collection, analysis and automation algorithms and hardware for power services.  There is common belief in need of multiplying number of data to let all the different components of smart grid to communicate. 

Examples of data collected and stored but not used were demonstrated.;

The risk of information overflow was discussed as well as threats to cyber security.;

Integration of different types of power technologies - renewables, mainly wind and PV, storage and plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) were discussed.
