SPIDERS Industry Day June 18, 2013 - 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM Washington, DC

Co-hosted by the Department of Energy and the National Defense University Please join us at the Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) Industry Day. Industry Day will provide organizations interested in implementing a secure microgrid with guidance on assessing their facility's needs, translating them into procurement requirements, and assembling the necessary site data package for bidders. Lessons learned and results of the Phase 1 Operational Demonstration performed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam (JBPHH) with the public sector and partner agencies will be presented by the SPIDERS Transition Manager.

This event is open to all stakeholders with an interest in the development of secure microgrids, ranging from policy and regulatory bodies and equipment vendors, to those tasked with the development of standards and specifications, and the utilities that will be interconnecting with these microgrids. Note: Due to facility capacity constraints the event is limited to one representative per energy company/agency office/university lab.
