“Smart meters may be one of the most powerful drivers for changing the way energy is distributed and consumed, but it can be difficult to sell a customer on a change that they never thought they needed and did not ask for.” – Bill Harmon as he discussed the importance of engaging customers and some of the programs Reliant Energy is using to engage the customer.

“In this new energy economy, economic development and R&D can work together to boost clean and renewable technology,” – Doyle Beneby as he talked about the CPS Energy’s initiatives to becoming greener, adding renewable generation and improving operations.

“I am here to thank you because without electricity, we’d all be miserable,” – Ben Stein as he closed the Keynote Session with his dry, witty insight into the country’s economic and political situation.

conference

DistribuTECH 2012 officially kicked off with an opening keynote session on Jan. 23 with more than 2,500 attendees. The keynote featured Doyle Beneby, president and CEO of CPS Energy; Bill Harmon, vice president of residential marketing and product development of Reliant Energy, and Ben Stein, actor, author, economist and pop culture icon.

Pre-conference courses were offered Jan. 22 - 23. Courses were taught by recognized experts in their respective fields and are held in a classroom environment to maximize the learning experience. Eleven full day pre-conference courses and 11 half-day pre-conference courses were offered Jan. 22 – 23.

“Electricity must be consumed as fast as it’s produced, it can’t be interrupted. If reliability slips, there will be blood in the streets — so your work is not only essential, it’s also cool,” – Ben Stein, actor, author, economist and pop culture icon.

Distribution Automation – an average of 93 attendees per session Greening the Grid

After the keynote, the conference itself opened with a bevy of learning opportunities. 78 educational conference sessions were broken down into 14 related tracks, including: Advanced Metering, Customer Operations, Demand Response and Energy Efficiency, Distribution Automation, Enterprise Information and Asset Management, Greening the Grid, International Projects, Mobile and Geospatial Solutions, SCADA and Network Infrastructure, Smart Grid Communications Technology, Smart Grid Operations Solutions, Substation Automation, Transmission and Large-scale Renewables and Water Utility Technology. The conference program included more than 135 utility speakers and more than 350 of the industry’s top speakers.
