The Smart Grid is without doubt a transformative technology that will change the way consumers deal with energy suppliers over the next ten years or so. At the heart of the Smart Grid is the smart meter, which extends all the way back to the electric utility on one side and throughout all the electric appliances in the home on the other. There will come a day—and that day is soon—when appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, driers, televisions and other electrical and electronic appliances will be embued with “smarts” so that each can talk, via a home area network, to the smart meter and then to the electric utility.

But getting from here to there demands a great deal of engineering savvy. In this Smart Grid Roundtable, presented by Electronic Design, two of the leading companies in the Smart Grid space, Microchip and Freescale answer questions from a leading authority on the Smart Grid, Electronic Design’s power editor, Don Tuite, about all facets of the Smart Grid and where the U.S. and most other countries around the globe are headed in the near future. If you are working on the Smart Grid now or are planning to do so in the future, you won’t want to miss this Rountable presentation.

Who Should Attend This Event?

• Design engineers involved in designing the electronics that will interface with smart meters
• Design engineers involved with creating home networks that will carry information from smart appliances to the smart meter
• Engineering managers who want to understand some of the technical details and challenges behind the transition from today’s electrical grid to tomorrow’s Smart Grid.
