What is Grid Architecture?  Why is it important? How do we use it to define and manage the transformation of our electricity system to achieve the 3-D's goals of a Decarbonized, Decentralized, and Democratized Grid?  The GridWise® Architecture Council (GWAC), a group convened by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, is helping define Grid Architecture and educate stakeholders about how it can be used to identify requirements and plan for the changes needed in our electricity systems to meet the evolving objectives of a 3-D's Future Grid.

This talk will provide a brief overview of Grid Architecture as a methodology and tool, introduce the 3-D's objectives, and review other GridWise Architecture Council work that is relevant to the discussion.

Ron Ambrosio

Topic:

Grid Architecture: A Tool for Achieving a Decarbonized, Decentralized, and Democratized Grid

Biography:

Ron Ambrosio is senior technical executive and software architect with a focus on technology, business and policy issues related to energy transformation in the electricity industry. He has 40 years of software engineering experience in distributed embedded systems and their integration with enterprise computing environments (IoT), and 20 years of experience specifically in the energy transformation space. 

Ron is co-Founder and retired Chief Scientist of Utopus Insights, Inc., a company that specializes in advanced utility analytics for renewable generation, asset health, forecasting, and Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration and optimized orchestration for many business and operational applications such as peak reduction, voltage support, unplanned event mitigation and many more. Prior to founding Utopus Insights, was a Distinguished Engineer and Chief Technology Officer for Smarter Energy Research at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.

Ron began working with the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) in 2000 on the planning, collaboration and workshops that led to the creation of the DoE GridWise initiative in late 2002, and later on the planning and launch of the GridWise Alliance industry consortium in 2003. Selected in 2004 to sit on the 13-member DoE GridWise Architecture Council; served as Chairman of the Council in 2009 and 2010, and continues as a member.
