The Need for Distribution Automation in Power Grid Reliability

This virtual event will cover the importance of paying stronger attention to the distribution segment of the power grid and the investments that need to be made to it, as well as the workforce behind it. Our panelists will discuss what can be done to enhance the skills of the workforce to meet this imminent need. Attendees will also be introduced to a career development program from IEEE entitled the IEEE Academy on Smart Grid Distribution Automation, developed to provide the fundamentals of the existing power distribution system and the advanced functionalities of distribution automation.
