Registration open for 2011 TCIPG Summer School on Cyber Security for Smart Energy Systems

Friday, March 18, 2011 - 11:15am

Power industry practitioners, researchers, and graduate students are invited to participate in the 2011 TCIPG Summer School on Cyber Security for Smart Energy Systems. The Summer School will be held June 13-17, 2011 at the Q Center (1405 North Fifth Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174), which is located on a 95-acre wooded property on the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois, just a 45-minute drive from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

The program is designed to provide an essential background in the basics of cyber security, and in the traditional generation, transmission, and distribution systems of the power grid. Participants will gain an understanding of how the power grid is evolving into a smarter energy system with an emphasis on associated cyber security challenges. Experts from industry, national labs, academia, and government will lead sessions that include case studies from industry and examples from current research. Idaho National Laboratory will also offer an optional, hands-on SCADA Security Lab. Labs will be offered Tuesday and Thursday and will be limited to 40 participants each day on a first-registered, first-served basis. A Networking Reception on Wednesday will offer participants an opportunity to connect with leading experts, researchers, and practitioners in fields that address cyber security for smart energy systems. 
 
Registration is limited, so consider registering early to guarantee participation. Early discount opportunity ends April 15, 2011. The last day to register is May 25, 2011. Student scholarships and sponsorship opportunities are also available.
