Cisco Systems believes that smart grids could be a market worth $20bn a year. But what are the real opportunities, and what are the solutions to barriers such as security concerns?

 

If you want to understand what the market opportunity really looks like and how technology can become an aid to reducing our energy requirements and maximising the availability of that from sustainable sources then you should join this seminar.

 

Attendees can expect to learn about:

• The OfGem / DECC Smart Meter programme
• How Digital Communications will be central to the operation of Smart Energy
• Opportunities for industrial organisations
• How the Smart Energy Special Interest Group will bring together key stakeholders

Hosted by the Digital Communications Knowledge Transfer Network, attendees will hear from members of the recently formed PAN KTN Smart Grids Special Interest Group, and will have the opportunity to discuss the challenges and issues surrounding the deployment of Smart Grids in the UK.

 

The seminar will be of particular interest to those working on energy efficient buildings, those involved in the generation and supply of energy, and those seeking to take the lead in respect of the communications, monitoring, control and service technologies that will be fundamental to the effective operation of Smart Grids.

 

The guest speakers include:
