SUMMARY:Smart Electric Grids – the Vision\, the Opportunities\, the Chall
 enges
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Krithi Ramamritham (Indian Institute of Technology\nDe
 partment of Computer Science and Engineering\nPowai\nMumbai 400076)\n\nAbs
 tract: \nSmart grids have been heralded as the key enabler of cleaner\, ch
 eaper and more reliable energy. They incorporate diverse energy sources\, 
 advanced monitoring\, demand-side management and the ability to “self he
 al”. The success of smart grids lies in the development of effective sol
 utions for a) Demand-supply management incorporating intermittent\, renewa
 ble\, energy sources\; b) Monitoring and sensing to understand energy gene
 ration and consumption patterns\; c) Accommodating human-in-the-loop and u
 nderstanding the impact of incentive structures\; and d) Distributed infor
 mation management and control strategies. The talk will cover these topics
  and show how data analytics plays a crucial role in addressing these prob
 lems.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Prof. Krithi Ramamritham did his B.Tech and M.
