WORKSHOPS
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS – MONDAY, 16 MARCH 2020
09:00 – 12:00
FUTURE GRIDS DESIGN WORKSHOP
Modelling an Effective Microgrid Installation
Before Building – Overcoming System
Integration Challenges
In the increasingly interconnected environment of
futurecities, more microgrids are being developed to
improve economic and reliability outcomes. However,
many factors have to be considered in installing
efficient microgrids and integrating various systems
before building. Learn more about key elements
to incorporate into tailored microgrid designs for
successful system integration.
 Exploring
 opportunities and benefits of
development including analysis, planning and
implementation
 Outlining
 methods to develop potential microgrid
designs and elements to consider in building them
 Leveraging
 smart grid investments to capitalize on
the value proposition of microgrids
POST-CONFERENCE SITE TOURS – THURSDAY, 19 MARCH 2020
09:00 – 12:00
CUSTOMER-CENTRIC GRID
DESIGN WORKSHOP
Empowering Consumer Participation in Making
Informed Electricity Consumption Choices
Not only is the demand for electricity rising, current
and future customers’ electricity needs are getting
increasingly complex. How can we make power grids
more flexible to balance power demand and supply?
The key lies at the heart of customer-centricity.
Varying power supply through demand-management
strategies and managing the efficiency of customers’
energy usage can overcome the major challenge of
bridging the demand-supply gap and serve customers
better. Find out how you can match the grid to your
customers through:
 Creating
 a long-term technology plan to
differentiate services based on customers’ growing
needs
 Building an integrated approach to improve
distributed energy resources planning
 Bringing
 together customer demands, grid
operations, asset management, and workforce

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY
RESOURCES WORKSHOP
Developing Practical Strategies to Incorporate
DER into Power Grids
Our increasingly interconnected world means that
energy resources are more distributed than ever.With
a wide variety of DER at our disposal, how canwe
incorporate the influx of DER into the electricity
system? What are the key considerations involved in
connecting DER to transmission and distributiongrid
projects? Find out how you can optimise DERvalue
and expand the possibilities of a flexibleenergy
system through effective DER integration and
operation.
 Understanding
 drivers and barriers in adoption of
smart grid and DER technologies
 Defining
 the roadmap to build a resilient and
sustainable DER-inclusive grid ecosystem
 Advancing
 grid management to transform
distribution grids into flexible platforms
13:00 – 16:00
DEMAND RESPONSE DESIGN
WORKSHOP
Capitalising on the Demand Response
Opportunity for Greater Cost-Efficiency
In future cities, demand response strategies can offer
the potential to reduce power costs and improve grid
reliability. By reducing power consumption during
peak periods, peak transmission load costs can be
shaved off significantly. In this workshop, find out how
you can accelerate energy efficiency.
 Understanding
 key factors contributing to growing
energy demand and peak demand patterns
 Innovating
 effective demand response strategies
with dynamic pricing and incentives
 Streamlining
