Overview

IEEE ISGT North America is the Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference sponsored by the IEEE Power & Energy Society. It focuses on industrial and manufacturing theory and applications for the wide use of information and communication technologies and integrated renewable and distributed energy resources on the electric grid. The conference aim is to attract IEEE and IEEE PES members as well as non-members (which we view as potential new PES members) who have an interest in Smart Grids. Also, ISGT Conference should be focused on attracting practicing engineers from manufacturers, utilities and R&D organizations who are involved in designing, building and demonstrating the envisioned Smart Grids. Nonetheless, ISGT conferences also cater for academia and, therefore, tracks for research papers should also be available, but should not be the main, and certainly not only feature of the conference.
