The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), US, has launched the IEEE Smart Grid Web portal (http://smartgrid.ieee.org), an integrated gateway to Smart Grid intelligence, education and news from IEEE and other expert sources. The Web Portal is designed for manufacturers, policymakers, educators, academics, governments, engineers, computer scientists, researchers and other stakeholders in the power and energy, information technology (IT), and communications industries.
The term ‘Smart Grid’ refers to a next-generation electrical power system that is typified by the increased use of communications and information technology in the generation, delivery and consumption of electrical energy. The IEEE Smart Grid Web Portal is the first phase of IEEE Smart Grid, created to bring together the Institute's broad array of resources to provide expertise and guidance for those involved in Smart Grid worldwide.
The new IEEE Smart Grid initiative will organise, coordinate, leverage and build upon the strength of various entities within and outside of IEEE with Smart Grid expertise and interest. The societies within the IEEE help guide the evolution toward the Smart Grid, by holding several events, publications and standards within their area of focus. On the IEEE Smart Grid Web portal all these activities and assets converge into a single place where users can explore and understand all the different and particular aspects of the Smart Grid, and how they are connected to the overarching Smart Grid framework.
