Abstract: Securing a smarter grid of the future involves an engaged and informed society. Join us for a showcase on how TCIPG sparks interest in the smart grid – at all ages and levels of engagement – and the impact of these efforts on smart grid awareness, education, research, and workforce development. Discover outreach tools, resources, and training programs that empower YOU to increase awareness, educate stakeholders, and actively contribute to smart grid security and resiliency. We will also highlight plans for our 2015 Summer School program.

About the TCIPG Seminar Series:

The monthly TCIPG Seminar Series on Technologies for a Resilient Power Grid presents speakers who are experts on topics in the broad area of research, development, and design for secure and resilient systems related to the power grid. The scope includes all power grid systems, from traditional systems involved in generation, transmission, and distribution to emerging systems dealing with distributed generation, renewable integration, and demand-response.

 

The seminar series is presented by the Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG) Project, an $18 million multi-university research effort whose partner institutions include Dartmouth, Illinois, UC Davis, and Washington State University. The TCIPG Project, a successor to the earlier NSF-funded TCIP Center, was founded in 2009 with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It is housed in the Information Trust Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
