Power
Systems 2004 Conference
Distributed
Generation, Advanced Metering and Communication
March
10-12, 2004
Madren
Center, Clemson University,
Clemson,
SC, USA
After 2 very successful years, the Power Systems
Conference will reconvene this year to expand from the impact of Distributed Generation to discuss, present, and
exchange ideas on Distributed Generation and Advanced Metering. PSC 2004 will bring together industry leaders to
discuss the latest deployments of distributed generation, implementation issues, and new technologies relating to the impact on the power system. In the new energy market, the ability to efficiently and economically meter generation units will be of utmost importance. The metering of the system will be important for anyone who is a producer, utility, or a consumer. By accurately metering energy use, a firm will be able to formulate the most economical use of all energy
assets available to them.
